Hey T2693 nice truck!

What size cells are you packing -3700?
If those are 3700's, they are a larger diameter and will need to be secured well since they don't sit all the way down in the plate - especially with the shrink-wrap.

Make sure you lace the straps as shown on the instructions.
The pads will also help alot in taking up the slack between the pack and the chassis plate. Unless you're going to zip-tie the packs down I would do these 2 things.


;)

Thanks!!!!

I'm running 2, 6 cell GP3300 packs. I added the foam pads and adjusted the straps after I took the pics and received some great feedback from the forms here.

Thanks again for the feedback and thanks for the great products! :D

I'll be adding more to the truck once I go BL this summer.

BL Conversation




























Sorry if some pics are a little jacked up. It's raining out so I'm dealing with poor lighting and shadows.

Working on the painting the body next......

EXTREMELY nice! Looking at trucks like that makes me feel really excited. Don't know why, but it does...

The controller is a 9920 warrior. The new ones have the double wires to the motor and batteries.

Truck runs like a champ. The Daytona Yellow is Sharp!

Just wanted to say thanks to Mike and everyone's input. It's a total BEAST!!!!!!!

Can't wait to try and get to the track and race. I have a Revo Crowd Pleazer body that I'll get painted up in the near future and that's what I'll use to race.

The rims/tires are ok for the pavement. If you look closely you'll notice that some of the chrome flaked off the one front rim...

I have 40 series Velocity 6's w/ the Proline Bow ties for racing and off road application.

Next pics I take will include those rims and the painted Crowd Pleazer 2.0 body.

Thanks for the feedback!
