I'm JUST now learning about BEC's, etc... All my trucks have either been Nitro, or had a built in BEC in the ESC. So, "extra electronic stuff" wired up is new to me.

What kinda tires are those? They look cool. Are those 12mm rims?

Oh, and does that rollbar only work with certain bodies? Or can you raise and lower it somehow?

Where did you get that diamond plate? That is cool! Do you have to unbolt it completely to change the battery?

You can email me pix if'n you want to man.

Ok, The Novak HV's come with the capacitors.
Someone else could explain the reasoning better than myself as to why.
My understanding is it'lll help w/possible heat issues, how ???

Have to have the BEC because the ESC is wired for 2 2s in parrallel and I''ve rewired it per Novaks instructions to run a single 4s, so I've lost the Internal BEC from a 2s pack. I just pulled the red wire from the ESC plug.

No the roll bar is pretty much for this body only, I can cut the legs shorter for other applications easy enough.

Diamond plate , FleaBay and it was cheap.

I have a 3700mah 4s, so run time should be good and long. Yes, must remove 4 screws to change battery.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.
