Sent you another PM...Should I over night it, so you can use it for the race? It has 5.5mm (maybe 5mm not really sure of the size) female plugs and a single deans (You'll need a series adapter) on it already.

Sweet looking project. How do you like the way it handles compared to the G3R or any of the Maxx trucks? Your setup looks very good, all except for the wire hanger holding your motor in place. Just drill it out and put in a through bolt and nut in there. Great project.

Outhandles my buddies E-revo which is also setup for racing as well as we race in the same class (production monster truck). He drove it himself and was completely stunned...hands down this thing is the most suprising truck I have bought to date. Tough as nails, and wow does it handle when prepped correctly. You can stand on it into a turn almost WOT. Drifts like a buggy.......very easy to jump as the batteries are in the center so it glides perfectly. The brakes are unreal even with the 13lbs weight....no fading even with lap after lap. The drivetrain is bulletproof, so no worries there. I am simply just VERY happy with the CEN truck. Will definitely be buying more of their product as they appear to just overbuild their truggys and trucks. I have always been a Traxxas and AE guy with a little XTM dabbling, and NONE of those trucks come close to this thing as far as toughness. I have smacked everything you can think off, and flipped it at the track on the triples, time after time......just flip it back over and go. Only problem was a steering rod end that broke in a Main....heck I'll take that any day.

'Tis an unwieldy looking beast for sure, but nice to know its durable- CEN stuff does tend to look beefy I have noticed. :yes:

Yes locked in 2nd (39T) with 24T pinion. Milled a groove through the gear and one way bearing, and I'm using a pin to lock it to the shaft. Got tired of messing with the one way.

Post up your pics.....also yes I have shaved some weight by dropping to the smaller tires/wheels, two shocks only, dropping the rest of the gears...etc

Hardstyle 02.20.2009 05:01 PM

Ok, will post some pics tomorrow..

Very nice!!!

Hardstyle 02.23.2009 09:32 AM

Thanks.
As you can see theres alot of alu parts, so that thing weights about +22lbs :whistle:.
Now I dont have any other projects going on, so I might continue this. Theres much challenge to me. Have to sort out the gearbox thing (might use emaxx tranny) and what elecs to put in..

I heard that you are running 5s 1900kv motor on that? Thats crazy man :mdr: doesn't it run hot? I have there 12xl bk motor and I still think that it is too hot motor for that application..

I will update my thread soon, so I wont hijack yours :tongue:

jzemaxx 02.23.2009 10:54 AM

Its runs super cool.....except its undergeared. A full A-main event with the stock tires, the motor is 100-110 max and the controller is 95-100 max. Now with the much smaller bowties the motor is getting to 140-150 and the controller is still 85-95 deg. Its WAY undergeared.....final is 17.7:1, but with the stock tires I get lots of speed and better load. With the smaller bowties, the thing is just a big torque monster.

I would like to see your truck running. Any chance of a video? There isn't a lot of these converted, have seen 1 video and it was Belt-drive nemesis.
