Thank you for the compliment. It took about 6 weeks before getting it right.
I changed the rear body mount to Integy with black plastic post to see if it is stronger then the Trinity mount. So far holding up. :027:
As far as the battery problem it turns out it was the batteries shorting out against the chassis. :mad:1 I ordered from Mike new blue cussions for the batteries and I shrink wrapped all my batteries instead of some of them. I also replace the UBEC with a new one. I tried it out with two different runs on Sunday and I did not have any problems at all.
Now onto the BK20150 controller - what can I say but IT'S GREAT. I don't like the fact that it has two wires for each lead to the motor, (that makes a total of six.) It makes it difficult to solder two wires that thick to a deans connection and then add the bec wire to it also and then of course I needed to shrink wrap all of that. This was a royal pain in the but. However setting it up could not be easier and disabling the the bec was real simple. Performance and speed is not a problem either, it does what I want it to do immediately. However I had to put my speed controller braking down to 50% because it was stopping to hard. The sparks under the truck was the front of the chassis hitting the ground during hard braking at night. That is why I lowered it to 50%.
Heat is not a problem anymore. Since I been playing around trying to fix up all the problems I had, heat is no longer a problem. Sure it gets warm on the batts, eng. and the esc but not burning hot like it was. Thats why I have the 2-3S 8000MAH Maxamps lipos on order from Mike. Now that everything works perfectly its time to run it at full speed. :027:
P.S. I finally bought the Bushnell radar gun 10-1911. I found it online at a local wharehouse and I picked it up for $90.00 (no tax/no shipping.) I am going to try two high speed passes:
1) Two six packs of GP3300 batteries in series. :007:
2) Then 2-3S 8000MAH Maxamps lipos. :043:
