Very nice! Looks like a fun day and a fun place to drive!!

But let's keep the nitro noise to a minimum next video!!

sorry sir, i'll remember that for next time ;)

Making a ramp for this bad boy early next month :) then it will get some real airtime :)

I've neglected this thread a little... so here a big update ;)

Batteries last around 30 minutes to an hour... depending on how i drive it :P i usually do 10 minute stints... as i spend more time chatting and tinkering with other peoples cars than bashing :P

Out with the old and in with the new..

Clone shocks replaced with Baja SC shocks, running 40wt in the front, 15wt in the rear... Medium springs on the front, softs on the rear. I'm gonna try these out, see how it sits... the mediums might be going back on :P may even buy a full set of hards to try as well!

Rear end photos, showing Tripple A Racing High down force wing, RPM arms, Ramtech-RC Upper arms, Marks Beefy 9mm Dogbones, Hostile Axle Boots, Darksoul axle Tubes (hidden ;)) axle extenders, oh and i had to modify the gear cover to fit the pinion... it seems it is too wide for the stock cover... as it rubs, and i cant turn the pinion over as it goes too far into the mount... not that this should be a problem... some dust may get in but the gap is too small for stones to fit :)

It looks awesome, I'm glad you got rid of the orange.

I would suggest not getting the slipper. The power of the brushless motor will just eat it up. If you need smoother starts mess with the esc software, punch control and current limiting.

My e5b thread- http://www.rc-monster.com/forum/show...ght=e5b+thread

ahh right,

Issue is... its not strictly a slipper... it doesnt slip under acceleration... its designed more to absorb the shock of landing jumps... surely this is a very very good thing when running direct drive (no clutch)

Your thread looks good :) got any video of it?

Looks sweet :D
