Who's motor mount is that? Is it the trinity one stripped?

Nice-looking show trucks Matt!!!!

[plettenbergs]

.....i picked up 2 New esc's and one of the pics shows the way they were set!...i ran them with two Bigmaxximums and 24cells(nickel)...they ran good,but i think they might run better if the DIP switches were set properly!...i have been into NITRO,this is my first electric...i am learning as i go!

Candyman has the same esc on his MaxxBling truck- shoot him an email:

I would move the esc down lower though, into the 2nd motor posistion for more protection in a roll or flip. Looks awesome

Wow...that truck has some serious bling..I agree w/ suicideneil,...move the esc lower to prevent a possible disaster.

Somehow I don't think this truck is rolled or flipped

hi

"usual" dip setting with a plettenberg: 101001

you may change the third to 0 if you don't want reverse.
the 6th dip is also not soo clear. you may check both settings 0 and 1.

bye

True...it looks like a show truck, which is ok too!

[gimpygolden]

I've had my share of shelf queens!

[plettenbergs]

i have run the truck about 6-7 times in my giant sodded yard with dual Bigmaxximums installed on 24 cells nickel metal....broke two input shafts and sheared off two output shafts(all have been upgraded to hardened steel)....ran great between break downs...the last time i ran it the sealed bearing for the input shaft disentegrated...since then i sold all my batts and chargers and will be getting lipo batts to decrease poundage!...that should help the drive train!!!!my ULTRAMAXXED trani gears are holding up beautifully!.....i will try the 101001....i am going with two flighpower 5s batts,is this too much for the Schulze esc?

[gimpygolden]

Good to hear your running it.
What are you doing with the other motor?

[suicideneil]

You only need 5s total, so you could run those batts in parallel to get doubled runtimes. Cant run them in series, as the esc will go pop.

What are the specs on your flightpowers- mah & C rating?
