*evil laugh* Yesss!! Moooore screeewss!!!

I couldn't tell what was holding the motor on before, but that new setup looks sturdy.

Outter limits.!!:gasp:

I just got a good run in with my crt .5 with 4s. Ambient was under freezing... Temps at the end were 105 for the motor and 100 for the MM and 25c Flightpower 3300mh lipos. The first 2/3 on the run was grass driving. The rest was on the street. I didn't let off the throttle much.:smile:

That is the only thing I like about R/C in the winter. Nothing gets hot! :yes:

Nice dude! Looks like you're enjoying the truck. I like your layout too, nice and clean.

I got some M2 gladiators today. Their huge! On the top speed estimator I got 35mph on 3s and 47mph on 4s. I am not getting that, but I bet it's within 10. With my new tires I got 50mph on 3s 67mph on 4s. I would bet this will be a good setup on 3s and it should bust 50mph on 4s with the new tires. I will do 4s for speed runs and bashing, and hopefully it doesn't get too hot.

I can't run them yet as I still need to get some 2.2 truck wheels, 12mm hexes, and a balance adapter. I'll post results and maybe even a vid.

I'm thinking 3s will be the highest I'll go with these tires and I'll save the 4s for larger cars. I'll have to try it tough because it would be fast as hell with 4s...

Here is another pic with the old tires. I'll probably refer to this in my sig. .... Or not.. It's too blurry. And godly bright.

That thing is bad looking, nice work.

I love my gladiators. You'll find out that weight of them spinning in the air with such a short wheel base make the truck back flip off of every jump. That's why I'm getting myself the RCM chassis.

Cool. I'm going to go for the 6 backflipper trickyyyy.:lol: Should be sweet.

I am awaiting a good power supply so I can charge my lipo and run this. Can't wait. The temps are pretty cold too. It was under freezing all day today. It was cold fishing and dunkball with a friend.... Real cold.

I got a nice run in today. I was running hard in my back yard on grass with a jump. I got some temps. 160f on the motor, 130 on the esc (bec enabled), and 95 on the battery. Speeds were great. I started with the battery half discharged from a run last night on pavement. Speeds were great, probably 35-45mph. I don't think 4s will work out too well with this motor... I would have to go back to my smaller tires.

here are some pics of the newly redone lipo. Big thanks to Linc for the re-do and big thanks to Overkill who sent me some labels free of charge! Thanks Guys!

It jumped and flew great. I could do backflips on demand. I got a little cogging, but it may have been just glitching from the radio. It is a little low on juice...

This is going to be a great basher this summer! I might race it a few times too...:yipi:
