**My FLM CCNeu Maxx Nearly Completed**

[Kcaz25]

Thanks guys I couldn't have gotten it like it was without you. Now, I don't have my tray yet so don't get too excited, but I myself am excited about this update. Particularly this image:



I made a CF wingstay mount. I have Diemaker Daves but after a few years I wanted something lower. More like today's truggies.
More pics:









Servo work:



Added a lighter resistance spring, and polished the orange away! and the blue mounts are now deanodized! And yes they are AE.


More CF Work (bottom riser plate), deanodize work, and notice reoriented whole thing- motor faces backwards like mikes kits. Basically this is Mikes. The CF is mine. Motor mount- Mike's. Coming tray- Mike's, old tray- Mike's. RC-Monster! Yeah! lol



Remember I beefed the rear drive train. everything shaft wise from the diff down is LOSI 2.0 including the 17mm hexes. And check the New VTR Calibers!! Medium. I purchased these cheap. I got it all for $50 shipped. One last thing the rear upper arms are no longer plastic. The plastic was too flexy. They had become permanently warped.



Thanks for following. Hey Does anyone have an opinion on the blue shock collars. Should I leave them as is or deanodize?

Looking good Zack... I got rid of the anodizing off mine because it did nothing for me...

The tower side of the the CF has alittle red dirt rubbed forever into it. It used to function as a battery tray. This picture is from an early setup(not current). You can see it on page 30. I cut the wingmount out of it. The other side is clean but has a mar on it from a slip with the dremmel.




Yeah, I hear you Alien and Snoop said on the TRX forum that I should deanodize those aswell as the red tube rods. They have never bothered me. I may do the collars this week, but I'll wait to get the tray to see about the rods. As of right now I still like them red.

RC-Monster Tray has shipped!! Yipi



Thanks Mr. Mike!

Hey Zack, what sort of shoes do you have on the truck?

In the pics I took 3 days ago I have my new VTR Calibers medium compound. In the old pic I have 40 series Mashers.

[Kcaz25]

Hey!! Important question. Can I have the motor wires come out of the esc, so out of the bullet connectors then do a 90 degree angle out away from the esc? How about a 180 degree angle?

-Zack

ps. I received the tray, its very nice! Pics soon...

EDIT: After searching (I know) I see that I can drill a hole in each connector. Still I would like advice. I will post a picture tonight of what I want to do.

That won't matter, so long as the solder joints are solid and there's no chance or wires shorting against eachother or the chassis etc, route those wires as you please pretty much.

[Kcaz25]

I sortof hate to fully reveal what I'm working on before I'm finished but I need help. Now, no wiring has been done. I have to shorten(inches!) and route the wires all of them and mount the RX. Also some of the screws are mocked up and are loose. So what do you think about this?












Obviously I am wanting to go under the rear drive shaft. It has enough clearance surprisingly. The wires pretty much have to come out of the ESC at a 90 then go down at like another 90 then go straight to the motor along the bottom of the chassis under the rear drive shaft.

Hey Zack, see the example below... I see no real issues with you making the connectors 90° for your application... just make sure they are insulated well after you are done...

Thanks Alien!

Okay! I did it, the motor looks great!! wires are nice and short! But my Mamba Monster may never run again! My orange ESC to RX wire broke. Big time. The tab came off the board!

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

How did that happen?

[Kcaz25]

Its a semi long story... here is the end of it. Castle customer service is still awesome! I am getting a brand new updated(so with new fets) Mamba Monster at my doorstep sometime next week for $70. They even told me that it would not be a refurbished one. I sent it in on wed of this week. They just called me today on Friday to tell me that it would be in the mail on its way to me on Monday. WOW! My MMM has been through alot. It was completely submerged and had a cracked inductor for years. It has seen a few thermals and it is funny that the signal wire tab popping off is the thing that did it in.

This is how the tab came off. I do have a soldering gun. I do solder sometimes. It normally takes me at least 30 mins to do one deans plug. I am not good. lol. I wanted to shorten my 3 motor wires. With the 90 degree bends I knew it was too much for me at this point. I took it down to the local hobby shop and they did a great job on the bulllets. (I'll post pics), but the guy noticed that I had a rough looking RX cable. It got in my spur once. I was busy looking at something else in the hobby shop and he asked me if it was okay to fix it. I told him sure. BUT I didn't know that he was going to try to put a new cable on the board. That is what he did. And the orange wire tab looked okay. I tipped him $25. I tried in the store to sinc it up to the other components and it wouldn't take. I asked the guy and he took it over to the store's Castle Link. It wouldn't link up. I thought I could sort it out at home and when I got home the orange tab was off the board. I wish he would have never touched the board. But its okay. I may be better off. Hopefully by the 4th I will have a functioning truck.

Also I am selling some items to help keep the truck running. These include GMaxx/FLM half case single speed tranny an RCM idler gear and a spare with pin mod. Diemaker dave knuckle head wing mount. a full Set of nice but used Proline Power Stroke shocks with all but one set of springs. PM me.
