Looks sweet, can't be much to it I'm guessing. It comes with a 27mhz AM radio in a day when you can buy a nice 2.4ghz for $30.00. Fail...

 

Yea. I don't understand why they haven't done away the AM radios yet. It'll happen soon enough...

 

Anyone wanna enlighten me on power supplies? What exactly do they do? Why would I need/want one? Will acquiring one get me more bitches?

 

they rock.

i also have a 3010b icharger.

30amps max i charge 6...6cell....4000mah 22.2v lipo's in less than 40 minutes.

 

Provide you with a DC "source" from a AC outlet. Some chargers are DC only, and require a power supply or ones car battery. Others are AC/DC meaning thet can be plugged directly into a AC outlet (converting it to DC themselves) or to a DC source. I have a older 25amp power supply that I leave at the track, (in the office of course) it's too heavy to haul back and forth. It's set up with banana plugs and will run a few chargers as long as overall amp draw is not over 25 amps. At home I use the little AC converter that plugs in to my charger.

 

Just got done running a pack through my new truggy!

I was very pleasantly surprised. I put a new 5000mah 2S 50C Gens Ace in it, and it ran on that for about 45 minutes.

Installing the electronics went pretty smoothly other than the ridiculous amount of wires I have going all over the place.

The shocks were setup very, very nicely out of the box. I was unimpressed by the diff setup, though. I probably just need to put some oil in all 3 of them. That should help the noise.

It came with a 12T pinion, put that on my 1410 motor and WOW, I did not expect it to be this quick. I'm gonna see if I can gear it up to maybe a 16T. It uses 32 pitch "nitro-style" gears. I have a 19T laying around, but that's probably too much. Gonna see if I can't pick up a 15 or 16 and, as always, get some video!

 

Already filthy..

 

Boy wanted to play

I don't know if it's just because he's so small, but that wraith looks hugenormous for a 1/10th scale.

Love it either way.

Lol at about 28 seconds. Reverse wheelie!

 

Haahaahaahaa. Yeah when he picks it up it is about half his size.
It is funny because he grunts and puts all of his weight into picking it up!!!!
