thanks for the replies guys... how is castle on shipping time to Indiana via USPS Priority

what is the 1717 good for a razor scooter lol im kinda curious lol since its only $70

I plan on running my 1717 with the stock 49T spur and a 25T pinion. See how I like that on 6s. If its not enough, I may spring for the 43T spur.

what gearing is it you run to get your 53mph on 6s?

my gearing with the 1520, was different... i used a 39t high speed idler gear... which resulted in me using 18/47 /39t. that gave me 53mph.

with my centre diff im running 11/46

ah yes i forgot about the center diff. thanks for the info, i was curious as to how it was set up for 53mph. are you using 4.2v in the calc, or do you use 3.7v?

i use 3.7v as thats roughly the voltage you get when under load if i remember...

Makes sense.

i have been doing some huge long jumps recently... vids will follow...

Truck is running amazingly well and reliably now!!! even when things go wrong, downtime is minimal thanks to the centre diff and motor mount style as tvps neve have to come off...
the GH Bulks have been awesome allowing absolutley no unwanted movement for the diffs to flex so nothing wrong at all there....

Im loving the savage more and more and it is now dying for a MMMXL and 9s setup! i am no longer experiencing bad pinion wear! the spur on the spider diff still looks new!

I have never had so much trouble free running...

only probs at the moment are, i have no lipos as i have either blown them or have bad conections!

So next are lipos and and new charger....
MMM XL and building my second basher flux....


I DID BREAK A BATTERY BOX MOUNT! first time to do that... i need to get some alloy GCM Ones... i was going to make my own, but GCM ones look awesome!

GCM ones are cool but damn expensive for what they are. lets see the vids!

Are they? I thought $100 was a decent price for what I got. Forward tranny conversion with 17" WB.

Heck, the FLM forward tranny conversion is $185.

BM - 88 and i are talking about the gcm lipo alloy box mounts not the chassis.... The chassis is a great price... but $60 for some alloy mounts is a lot!!!!!!

Vids coming very soon, just needs a bit of editing

Sorry friend, I missed that completely.

Ran the truck on the weekend with a few other guys...

Didnt get much footage but got one shot of my savage jumping... nothing too big as this was my first jump... But after a few more jumps, i was going as far as that tree you can see in the distance...

My Jump

After the day, i suffered one bit of damage which was a broken lipo box mount... So the legend Chris at GCM hooked me up with some of these sexy things

Thanks a lot for the deal Chris!

As i also have no lipos at the moment i decided to temporarily get some lipos to keep me running... So i have bought some turnigy 40c 5000mah 3s lipos X2

im just waiting for the new MMMXL before i pick up some Nanotechs...
I actually tested some nanotechs on the weekend and they were great performing lipos for the price, but the performance compared to my 35c 6500mah hyperion lipos was nearly as good but they just didnt have the punch although they are rated at 90c compared the 65c punch of the hyperions. But for the price of $57 you cannot complain!

The hyperion have also a better weight/(capacity.power) ratio than the zippy lipo, given the extra life time that the hyperions offers I would go for the hyperion ;) Check on windrider.com ;)

that is true nuz but I WILL NEVER BUY HYPERION AGAIN! both of my hyperions failed... Broken connections in one and a failed cell in another all within 40 cycles! Although they are powerful, they are 10X worse put together compared to the cheap turnigys which i will now be running from now on!

You cant beat the performance of a hyperion but you can certainly beat the quality!
