I was tired of breaking chassis
 

I was tired of breaking chassis on my triplext and i was not even running BL. for some reason I will be putting a HV 6.5 in my xxx-t. So i decided to make a steel chassis. I know it seems heavy but this is a proto type i am just seeing if it holds up and works and then i will use it as a template to make one out of carbonfiber works well all i need are some longer scwews small spacers a antena tube and the BL set up and i am good to go. Also does any body have a xxx-t. If you do do you have to replace any gears for a BL setup or will the stock ones hold.
Enjoy the pics please comment thanks.

You should get some ae battery cups. It make the mounting of them much nicer.
It looks like it would be a beast. NICE!!

yeah those would help can you show me a picture and or a link where to buy them and see them /thanks /

www.towerhobbies.com .... they are a little over 5 dollars if my mind tells me right.

Mike can probably get them for you too, even though they are not in the RCM online store....

............errggg Sylvester, you beat me to it....................

thanks guys I knew I'd seen them but I did not know who made them. Any way how to make the trans to hold up to the HV 6.5. any performance gears or it is fine as is. thanks

(got sickes idea.- HV 6.5, 2 7 cell 4300s, proline max wabash white weels in back with road hogs and smaller different white wabash weels in front with MIP CVDs and front graphite lower bulkhead with Black body with white flames. it will be like a two wheel drive truggy with out the wing and a lot faster and longer run times. I know i could just make a truggy but this will be fun because nobody has a xxx-t with hv and wabash weels in back and front. cant wait)

I'm not sure of the intentions of which this car was built for, but I have to point out that this would be an AWESOME drag car.

yes it was built for racing and bashing as a stadum truck but it seemed slow and not fun enough (not as fun as maxx or other 4wds) but yes with a wheelie bar it would dominate the drag strip. thanks and any clue on whst i need to bullet proof

the hv wont fit.... the heat sinc is too big to fit into the tranny hole, i dont know how u could get that idea to work proerly...... i would put a bl system from rcmonster in there

Take the heatisnk off. :018:

dump th HV idea and get a sensorless system. Same amount of money.

the only reason i am putting an hv in this is because i can get one for 100 bucks 200 cheaper than normal and even if it is a little use and it does not have a much power and or speed it will be plenty enough for this plus it will be extra fun to bash with all that torque and it comes with esc.

that's if it doesn't over heat on you

i dont think it will over heat because if it was that easy for it to over heat novak would include it in the package unstead of making it opional if it was needed. plus i will be using normal 550 size half sized heatsinks and i will just remove motor skid.

The chassis on my xxx-t was my only complaint. What I did was take my broken chassis and cut off the arm things on the front and then make some mounts out of lexan. I just haven't gotten around to testing it.

The 6.5 HV does not have the over heating problem it was the original 4400 HV that had that problem. I have a 4400 HV with the optional 6.5 rotor in it in a E-MAXX and have no heat issues (I run the crap out of it. Sometimes 3 sets of batteries in a row)

Just remember it is not going in a 11lb emaxx. It is going in a truck half the weight or less an 2wd. I think it should fly myself. I think it should be a good
motor for it unless you break up the trans.

do you guys think it will be realy fun i was going to go for somethink else but the price of the HV (100$) really got me thinking and i think it will be a blast 2FAST+2MUCH TORQUE= TONS OF FUN

If it fit the truck. I think it would be fun. It is like a xl 380 motor. It may have
outside diameter of a 540 but inside is a 380 size rotor. If you want to go
two packs on it a 12s on 12cells would work to. get a mamba esc as well.

A little off topic here, but exactly what constitutes a 540, 380, etc? The little I've found by way of searching tells me that it has to do with length, but that can't be, is it?? I always thought it was related to the can diameter...

It has to do more with the diameter of the motor.
Brushed has some 550 and 600 same size in diameter as 540 but longer.
It sure gets confusing.

yes i would like to go with that esc but for 100 bucks it comes with motor and esc
