Medusa 3660 - 2200...whats to say...Works great...stayed cool and just belted out the power...The wires coming out of the Medusa annoy me though...MMM is 10 gauge, batteries are 10 gauge...The Medusa wires look like something i would pick my teeth with...had to grind my own flat spot which is very ghetto but my own problem...more on that in another thread...
MMM...Again...Flawless...Set it up on the PC while Baby Bit was asleep and even Analog Mrs. it was impressed with that lol...Forward to brake to reverse and punch @ 50% were really the only points of interest...everything else was default...The plugs on the MMM annoy me but again, more in another thread...
...The integy rear uprights did the trick and hummed without issue...I flipped it, crashed it, nosedived it, cartwheeled it and smacked it into a tree and that chunk of concrete that i KNEW i should have moved before i started...A few anxious moments here and there but in true Savage fashion it just rolled over and kept on going...its the first time i have seen a NON-flying vehicle do a flat spin 2 meters in the air and it was nerve-wracking but no doubt it will happen again lol...
...Video camera was rolling but the position sucked so al the footage I have is really far away...I will play with it though and try to make SOMETHING of it...
Homework: The HPI braces that lower the roll center and change the upper arms will be purchased today...Have to redo the center diff and the battery boxes...Generis chassis is being discussed and should be finalised very soon...Medusa 3100 is waiting in the wings and will need some run time...Gearing needs to be played with and some new pinions wil be ordered...Sticking with M1 for sure...
...At 4.4 kg and VERY fast the HFX is a success and will get LOTS of runtime as the weather gets drier...I just have to wait till the mud dries and can be brushed off but a few projects for it in the meantime...
Thanks for reading...Peace...
