Very nice truck! But please tell me you didn't get the Pro diffs....That will most likely create to low of a gearing since they are 4.3:1 instead of 3.31:1.

Nice truck! May i ask why you chose the 5955 robot servo? You should have gotten the normal 5955TG..


The problem with nitro's these days are that they arent brushless... LOL

Thanks guys...I cant wait to complete it:017:

@Mike...yes its an alu foil...i just got used to putting it on RX that i put it also on the wires to make it less messy..I might changes it to wire organizer though:028:

@Squee...unfortunately yes it is a Pro diff....:013:

@Sylvester....I just got this servo 2nd hand and used once for a scienceproject...the price is 60% lower than the 5955....no special reason for it...:027:

@mini not sure yet how to place the batt wires...but soon it will be a lot less messy...if you would look at it i dont even had batt terminator...i would get sermos/powerpoles sonn :010:

Very nice maxx man! This is why I love the maxx, there are so many options with them! Great Job! Personally though, I would remove the tin foil dude. other than that, great job!

Unfortunately, still needs a few more parts before it rips nitro..

The arms have a nice play I should say...solid I have tested it on a 15ft jump so i wouldn't know at the moment...The arms are great but not as tough as you titanium arms @360.... :027:

mabey i am using the word, when i mean play i am talking about while it is still on the shelf take of the wheels and grab the steering knuckles and swist them slightly and see if the knuckles move left to right like they are loose. I know this seems weird to ask but my ti arms are nice but the have to much play and they need lots of shims to stay in place with my car i can sit it down and in the rear i can move the arms front and back about 2mm because they are so lose at the hing pins. i am asking if you where to tug just a bit on the arms left to right do they feel pretty sold meaning they dont move forward and back to much. Sorry if i confused you

360, that play is suppose to be there. It is so you can adjust the caster. It is only on the front, correct?

No it is in the back toothis is a different wiggle becasue my lower arms are flexable they are smaller than the hole for the arms to fit in so it feels very loose like they need to be shimed shimming helpes but not a lot. also it has a lot do do with that the holes in the arms with the hinge pins (the holes are bigger than the hinge pins with the bushings in) it feels like there is lots of slop in the arms from front to right. I know about the play you are talking about and i thing this is different.

You can get some nice sleeving which will tidy up the wiring from here, and it comes in a range of colours and sizes too, for dirt cheap.

360- I think I know what you mean-maybe you need thicker hinge pins, that would stop 99% of the sloppyness, but which ones to buy is another question- micrometer/ caliper time....
