These trucks look great and the design is a nice piece of engineering, but as long as one uses plastic it will never last for long. If this is any indication of how hard you like to drive, then you need to build your trucks to be "bulletproof". Why waste your time running back and forth with broken plastic parts. RCM hybrid bulk/diffs with hardened HPI lightning gears, and metal tranny gears or a center diff setup is what you have to do. So "Git er done" and have some real fun  . By the way those batteries look impressive in there  . How were tehy working for you?  |
We all love to drive hard don't we? LOL
I'm am VERY impressed with the power of the Medusa Motors. I did not expect it to throw this truck around the way it did. Not that I'm blaming it on the motor.
I've really been looking at the Gorillamax G4 chassis.
One problem I have with setups is the very limited space for Batteries. Why can't we cram in an hour of wild runtime?
These batteries are pretty awesome, but they are big. Each one is 2S2P of 5000mah 10C cells. I know the C rating is small, but I believe them to be under-rated somewhat. Even at 10C, this gives 100 amps continous, 150 amps Burst.
It is an hour runtime setup.
I ran for about 20-25 minutes before the come-a-part happened. Each pack was at 7.99 volts when it was over. I did run it pretty hard too. Obviously. LOL
