Had time last night and today to work solid for a few hours and got a lot done. I'm sure I'll get mixed replys and comments or flat out told I'm a dumass ? I felt the 1800kv was acbit much for the truck and decided to put it in something much heavier. I recently purchased this Tekin 2000kv that is brand new and have decided to try it in the truck. I'm down to a 10-11T pinion but this is merely to so how well it'll work. If it's questionable then I might go with a 1500 Tekin motor if the fellow still has it availible or sumthin' else ?
Still waiting for my other shock tower and the body, should be here Thursday and then I can button this thing up and do some testing. I've had a lot of little problems with this build but it's ben a lot of fun. No regrets so far. Only hope it'll handle as well as I hope. I know it's not a bonified truggy but I'm optomistic that'll It'll be competitive with the the buddys whom can't drive worth a shiz with real truggys ?
Oh, the Dynamite Aluminum lower arms are 4 grams heavier than stock plastic, not much at all ! So, wire wheeled them, sprayed on some zinc chromate and some flat black. BAM ! stealth arms.
Heres what I do with most of my receivers in RC's without a radio box, CA'd HPI antenna mount directly to the case. Makes swapping stuff easy. I also take old servo plugs and remove the wires and fill w/thick CA and install into empty plug holes to help dirt out of RX's
