Yo man that was a nice series of photos:intello:. Its always nice to see just how much work goes into the builds. Great job and that is a very nice setup, but I am willing to bet it is also one of the most expensive builds around to:rules::lol:. That was a lot of parts. Now how does it run for you:whistle:? What MGM do you have onboard:eyes:? It will be good to hear how those packs do for your setup to. Nice work TDC57:yes:

Man I love it!

From a calc standpoint, you almost need more voltage on that motor. 6s only turns 30k rpm on a low kv 1515/3d motor. At least it should run nice and cool, plus you can gear higher for speed.

Nice to see you here Shaun, and that truck is awesome.

Thanks for the kind words..

52 hrs goal: Is get my MGM controller working so I can drive it! & I'm hoping that Mike will also me to bring it the RCX Expo this weekend and display it in his both? Mike your thoughts:whistle:

Sort Term goal for it is beating and jumping:mdr:

Long term goal is racing it. :smile:

Have a great one and thanks for looking!..

:smile::smile: Thanks! it been a pleasure building it! and i hoping it will be a even greater joy driving it..(TBD) it's taken me over 36hrs of pure build time (inc. fab / moding) over the past two weeks.

I've got the MGM Compro 160 amp, 24 cell brushless boat car controller. But the dam thing will not power up?? it band new so I’m just lost and Need Mike or someone to tell me what to do with it.. Until then it's nothing more than a paper weight. :grrrrrr

Have a great one..

Thanks xcntrk!.. I think it will be a great truck if it ever runs..
At this point I would be happy just to drive it! But I have no power at my controller so it's dead in the water.. So any and all help / advice would be great!

Thanks for the comments and have a great one..

We'll thank you for all of the great advise earlier on Niel.. And yes I’m stoked to be here with the big boys!.:party:

info
 

Well whatever info you receive if it gets you running please post it up here:yes:. I just purchased the MGM 160/24 myself:yipi:. It is new with the newest firmware update installed, and all of the accesories to keep it operating for a very good discount. So I am sure that I will be looking for assistance when I get ready to set it up in one of my trucks. Good luck with that and keep us posted TDC57.:whistle:

Will do!, it does sound like we have the same controller / accessories, hopefully you wont have my issues.. I'll keep the team updated as / if / when progress gets made..

Thanks for your time and have a great one..

ps. got any pics of your bad boy?.

Photos
 

Not yet. Once I get some of the electronics that I have purchased this week and I have something setup in the truck I will get some photos posted up. Up to now I have kept a low profile with photos, because I knew it would take me a long time to get something really nice completed. I have been working on 4 trucks at one time over the last two to three years. I have been in no real rush to get them finished. Maybe it will soon be time to show them off. I don't have a few thousand dollars laying around to drop on my toys, so it is a month to month project for me. Thanks for asking though.

WOW!! that looks great, I hate to ask but how much $ have you spent?

Thanks for the kind words..
To-date I've got $3,135.85 if my records are correct.. Minus tax and shipping (those don’t count towards the value)

Have a great one and thanks for looking..

P.S.
Yes I know I've spent way to much money on it!

Wow, worth every penny :yes:
