Admiring my own build
 

Yeah - so I'm tooting my own horn a bit...... :party: :party: :lol:

Compared with my first BL conversions 2 years ago I just felt that my builds and wiring were getting much cleaner, and I love the XRay build quality.

So I was just admiring the final build of my XB8EC (which has gone through several versions since I got it 9-10 months ago) and wanted to share the pics.

Build is:
XRay XB8EC
Proline Badlands tires
TP eXtreme V2 6S 3300mAh
Tekno Neu 1515/2.5d
MMM esc (V1 using internal BEC - no problems so far)
Gearing 14/46 for ~45mph

Enjoy.......

looks clean....wiring and everything....

Now get her mud dirty.....show some vids :whip:

thats a clean build, I agree, get her dirty!

looks good, you need to look into the 808 bigbore shocks they are soooo nice i love them on my xray.

Looks good. What does it weigh and what kind of run time?(may have to get it dirty to find out)

I bet it looks mean with the badlands and the body on... and it's stealthiness..

Thx guys..... oh - it's been plenty dirty. I'm just overly anal about cleaning them them up every time with an air compressor. The tires are new so it's a bit deceiving but I chew through tires in just a few runs with this thing.

I don't have much access to a track so usually I run it in parking lots with slicks or moabs or on in the dirt and grass at the park - so they tend to be pretty high traction surfaces and I get about 15 minutes on the 6S 3300 pack and ~10 min on a 6S 2600 pack. It's about 8lbs or just a bit more but it really sucks down a lot of power to move it around fast. The Watts-up meter says that it's pulling about 1250 watts max but I suspect there are much higher amp spikes that meter is too slow to see.

I've got one of the EagleTree loggers now so I hope to get to run it this weekend and see the charts of the run.
