….for helping me to create an absolute MONSTER!!!!
Over the past couple of months I’ve been converting my 4 year old UE equipped T-maxx over to electric. Finally today the last of my parts trickled in to get it up and running. I promptly charged my new lipo and did a shake down run. HOLY COW, my nitro days are over. The run lasted a whopping 10 minutes in which time I smoked my strobe slipper and spun both drive-cups right off the tranny (ran out of thread-lock for the set screws). A few things I learned in that short period of time; punch-control is “mandatory”, I may be geared a little low, and I foresee a long process of tuning in front of me to dial in the ESC throttle and gearing setup. I was never able to get to full speed as I couldn’t keep the front-end planted. It seemed at any speed it would aggressively wheelie (and it’s not a light rig).
Anyway, the wealth of knowledge and great community support this forum provides helped me build this sucker; so I wanted to say thanks. Obviously a huge thank-you to Mike as well for supplying the multitude of parts ;)
More pics and details to come. I need to stock-up on some spare parts!…
