First Pede project - 01.10.2007, 05:29 PM

I bought the xl-5 pede back in September and have obsessed with upgrading ever since! Just about think I'm done. Well maybe some of those new FastLane CVD's and then I'll be through!! Some pics here

Awesome man!

Welcome to the forum, your truck looks great. Nice shell/wheel combo.

How much does it weight RTR?

you know maxx wheels with Komodo tires are an option too? it's like a 40 series wheel for a maxx/savage.

Looks good. Is that the 4600 or 5700 MM? How hot is the ECS and motor getting? What batteries you running? LOL ok i'll stop. One thing though. I'd flip that motor around. Those motor wires are just begging to be ripped off. Flip the motor so the wires are pointing up top where they are safe.

I am still messing around with the proper position for the esc

Not on the mamba, they even suggest that you cut to size in the manual

That's a real beauty. I've been toying with the idea of doing an FLM pede to add to my rusty. Is that the long bed pro-line body? Also, is it the extended chassis?

Thanks, BC
