ah nice build, my e-revo will be faster

I cant beleive he took the raze over it. But you know its AD... Anyways good luck on the build.

stop hating on duratrax ryan, raze was a great car

If I was hating duratrax I would hate the warhead and I dont hate the warhead. The raze is old and from what I constantly hear from you it has some serious issues with a brushless combo installed.

the diffs that a refused to shim initally? yep, that explains it

Few questions guys,

1. are Feigao 540c's pressed can?

2. Where can i get some Rc-Monster Stickers?

http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail...od=rcmstickers There ya go!

thats going to force me to buy more from mike, lol shipping costs more then the stickers

540C finned has threaded end bell with a set screw.

yay! so i dont have to wrestle with it to change bearings :D

If you e-mail Mike, he can ship in a padded envelope for about $1 he told me.

that makes it a whole lot easier :D

Yeah, I had the same problem whe ordering a bore reducer.

ill probably throw new bearings in the motor just to be safe

DO i need any special mrk III, spec 2.5x bearing only found in guatemala or will any 5x11x5 work?

Good plan.
EDIT: Not sure about the bearing type. Others know more than I do, but I know that KD has a Feigao high speed bearing set, good for 80k rpm for $20.

My new R123f 75mhz receiver just came in :D

Just ordered:

4 Badlands MT Tires
4 Chrome Tmaxx wheels
14t mod1 pinion
18t mod1 pinion
CC BEC
60 Soldering Iron
Assorted Heatshrink
Warhead Race steering kit
Thin CA glue


Will standard duct tape work well to strap tires?

Isnt 44mph a bit agressive for a mamba max and 8xl on a heavy warhead? I was thinking closer to 35mph may be something thats more dooable. Nice build though. I like the warhead too.

i was thinking that but its completely gutted and an e-savage trasmission is mounted in the frame rails, should be relatively light

:sarcastic:

:slap: :whistle: :na:

Truck came in today, was relatively sound... seller forgot to mention that he ran it throught the desert then drove it right into the box..
Dogbone pins were almost non existant
Spur gear was chipped
shocks are leaking
...ugh spur was also a 49t, so geared for 40 now :D

oooh that sucks but a little bit of part huntin and that warhead will be good as new.

yah
i can live with the shocks
the dirt is gone now after an hour with a tooth brush

and the spur will work i think..

Post pics/video when finished. I want to see my old baby run.

psht, how do i yank thes dogbone pins?

and now i flood you with pictures....

the fact that it balances up like that should be a sign to you of what's to come :D

8xlC is on the way gearing for 35-40
should be a good deal :D

DUDE, i didn't know home depot sold rc's? mine dosn't, nice warhead

haha thanks

Finlly the pics come on... :)

and where are the pics of ur emaxx smartass :D :lol:

I have a CC BEC on the way, what should i set my LVC on the MM to run at?
did anyone notice this on Castles FAQ page

"25. Is my CC BEC edible?

Please refrain from tasting the yummy goodness of the CC BEC. Castle Creations is not responsible for any cases of upset stomach, indigestion, or other GI malfunctions as a result of CC BEC consumption. Eating a CC BEC is known to cause cancer in the state of California. "

look for yourself

Well i was "evaluating" the all plexiglass transmission mount.. and i found out that it wasnt that sturdy at all.. i droped the truck on all fours from 3 feet up with a motor mounted 3 of 4 of the mounting hole just shattered..

so right now its 1x1 1/8th inch aluminum angle ftw :lol:

:lol: Why will it cause cancer in CA only? :wink: Are our stomachs in CA just not strong enough to handle a CC BEC? :rofl:

everything causes cancer in CA

breathing causes cancer :P

no i ment you have over 1000 posts?
