    There's some shots of it in that video I posted. I'm on my phone or I would repost it again. It should be back a few pages. the build thread on it is fairly up to date, too. need to do some more work. I've got a buddy working on getting his bobcat running. Big plans for additions!

    Anybody know anything about Holmes BrXl esc?!?!

    I just recently bought one and installed it into my dingo kit and was working fine I turned it off and later that day I went to test it again and the motor would not turn. The LED was flashing green and red like I think it should. I tried to recalibrate and wasn't getting any tones from the ESC, but getting the LED lights like I think i should.
    It still wouldn't engage the motor?!?!
    I hope you understand the question.
    Thanks

    Had a good day at the track.

    I took my GF with me and she now wants a SC truck :woot:

    Now I gotta clean and rebuild the Hellfire.

    One problem I'm having is the truck is nose diving whenever I jump.

    I have trouble getting my trucks to fly level, too. its never consistent though. Sometimes it noses, other times it goes nose up. I think it's mostly driver error on my part and inconsistentcy in the actual jumps themselves.

    A lot of times it is how you are leaving the jump. Obviously when you let off on a jump too early it will dive. It's always a good idea to keep at least a little throttle until airborn. Same thing when riding a dirtbike. Let off and the nose drops. I learned the hard way on that one. You can always brake in the air to bring the nose down, or throttle to bring it up. Unfortunately braking is more effective in the air than full throttle to bring it up. You can always set a little drag brake so you know that when you let off it will help bring the front down so you can stay on the gas a little longer.

    no, it just kinda dies in the air, I'm guessing it was due to me letting off of the throttle. I did get it to land right a couple of times
    I'm starting to think its driver error
    Thank you, I was letting off of the gas as I was jumping.

    Yea, that's what I try to do. Just not enough experience with the controller yet, I guess. I find that you can apply a lot of motocross skills to these R/C trucks, though.
