Anyone into R/C?

Got the truggy today, not too bad, has some adjustment to lower it down a bit. there is no way im fitting any decent sized 3s pack on it, will be able to fit some 2s packs on there side tho. Also a size cmparision to my exo and my max stone crawler..

 

You drove it yet? 4s is plenty, I forget, what motor you gonna be running?

 

if that truck is a race truggy then your arms should be level

 

nah just got it today, it needs a rx still, plus i dont get home till 5:30 and its pitch black at 5. it has the mamba monster esc and castle 2200kv motor.

It will hit a track but not race. I will lower it when i get the motovation, haha

 

lol yeah it needs to be lowered

 

Whoa, 2200kv gonna be a lot of motor in a truggy.

 

It's getting there! Here are a few pics out of my build thread on RCC.

My aluminum side panels came in the other day from CarterFab. Very close!

looking good

 

That thing is a badass man! im jelly of those axles!

Wheel and tire combo look familiar

 

Have the axial scx10 on order and a Tamiya hilux body waiting to be put together and painted.

 

Me and my friends 1/6th Willys.

 

Badass! Did you vent them? I'm going unvented given how much shit we drive through. We'll see how they do.

They are so much easier to put together than my Axial 2.2 8-holes.

Nope, I plan on running this in some nasty stuff this winter.

I got some wheel weights for them the other day I need to put on the front.

 

Nice. Did you go with the Vanquish weights or something else?

I still need to get my electronics figured out. Mainly the BR-XL. I'm leaving the electronics box in the stock location and running my battery perpendicular to it on top of the little "shelf" that used to hold the AE-2.

I went with a pack of the vanquish weights, going to try 3 in each front wheel and see how it does.

Im just staying with my stock ridgecrest electronics, i plastidipped everything i could and marine greased any bearings to make it more waterproof.

 

Nice.

My buddy has a RidgeCrest and man, that thing was bomb and sinkproof. Literally swam it across a river with no issues (after it was waterproofed).

My BR-XL came waterproofed and I'm going to see just how "waterproof" the stock electronics box is. I'll likely hit it with a crap load of liquid tape just in case.

Yeah I dont forsee any water issues with my setup, its all sealed up tight.

How did you like building those axles? They may get on my christmas list

 

Dude - they are sick! You will love them.

Keep in mind, the aluminum does get hung up more on the rocks. Other than that, they are incredible!

dirty ass outdoor tracks lol

 

@MJB that's still clean for an outdoor track ;p



So, picked up a speed passion gt2.1 pro stock. Pretty beastly, hopefully it lasts where as the dualsky failed
