i thought the green pinion was 32p?

i have no idea what it is lol
im not actually using it, i just threw it on there to look cool for now.
ive got a 14t mod1 comin in the mail :) (should be here monday)
i do know that green pinion is 18t which on the speed calculator is putting my top speed at over 80mph... lol lil too much i think :)

oh ok. then yah its a 32p pinion so it would not work on your buggy. lol. when i sow it i was like no way it works on his car. cuase i wanted to use it cause it looks sick lol.

On 5s w/a 2200kv motor, that buggy is going to fly! My mbx-5 on 5s w/a 1512 1900kv motor is so fast, that on dirt, I had to turn down my punch control and I am only running 80% throttle on my radio!

Buggy looks nice by the way.

i have it programmed to have no punch control right now
i have a feeling im going to be changing that after the first run lol
im expecting it to be rediculous

Yes it will! Just add wings! :oh:

Running lower EPA is reducing ESC efficiency. I would gear down instead.

I would dial in tons of punch control, lowest timing, and adjust the throttle curve otherwise I guarantee you're gonna have a heck of a time controlling that power. On my Hyper 8 using a 1512 2d (kv=2700) on 4s is stupid power and more than I can use. To take a ~10 ft jump on a moderate slope, I only need about a foot running start before the jump - and that's IF I can get the tires to hook up.

BTW: The CC pinions are 32p.

The 2200 is a beast, i can clear my driveway off a plastic kicker ramp with about 5 feet runup.... its hard to hit the ramp cuz the truck is as wide as the ramp :lol:

I run no punch control, 0 timing and just have a smooth trigger finger

i forgot what i set the timing to... lol
doesnt matter im gonna be bashing most the time anyways :)
more power the better!
waiting for my lipo is killing me!!

Looking good, that thing looks killer like an :angel:

i just fabed a little platform for the receiver
and i cut a little slot on the end for the on off switch, it looks very clean like it was supposed to be there :)
and i also started to do alittle wiring, i routed the servo wire and i shortened up the esc wire since it doesnt need to go that far.
(cant really see wiring in pics, its more for the on off switch, i just spent like 2 hours messin around and makin it so im proud lol

i think im gonna run it on my jrx2i for a week till i get my dx3s though
i cant wait another week lol

Looks good, though you need a countersink drill bit :)

Ah sweet!
Nice buggy there.

looooky at my new controller! :) yay
DX3S FTW! Telemetry ftw!
ive got a sensor lassoed around the motor, idk if u can see it in any of the pics, its just a black wire
