Project Super-VBS-CF-Gorillamaxx!!!

hopefully soon, i ordered the motor a month ago, but i think Neu is pretty flat out producing motors atm. The lead time is usually 2-4 weeks, so fingers crossed the motor will be here soon.

then i need some Neuenergy lipos, which i think are also on backorder everywhere a DX3R, MMM and a charger and i should be ready to go. I'll need to pick up bits and pieces as well, i don't know what they are yet, but as you would know, RC is never as easy as 1 2 3

P.S, forgot to mention, i need some custom centre drives from Mike, but i'll have to wait till the CD is fixed until i can get some measurments

That's incredible! I'd go with some different LiPos though because from a purely aesthetic point of view, it seems they would look a little strange with the red shrinkwrap in that gray/silver truck. Maybe get some Polyquest or Flightpower packs?

Nice truck! Looks like its comming together nicely. Whre did you get the CF wrap for the wing?

Also, if you dont like the color of your lipo packs you can always just buy some black shrink wrap from maxamps and put a black cover over them. I do this with my packs not for looks, but to get one more layer of covering on them. Then when it starts to get a scuffed and starts to tear and such from use, you can just strip the our layer and reshrink it again. It keeps the manufacuteres wrap in better condition for longer.

Thanks for the comments guys

Good idea with the (non)coloured lipos, the reason i decided Neu is because they have a 5000mah 30C pack, whereas the 30C Flightpower only goes up to 4900mah, probably not a huge difference there though Might have to consider that shrink wrap idea of jhautz, it would look alot neater with black packs.

As for the CF vinyl, i got it from Tower, search through the manufacturers for 'Upgrade RC', they make loads of different vinyls for wings, radios, wheels, even pit chairs!! It turned out alot better than i thought it would!! They make a whole buch of different designs as well, so yeh, check it out.

Have you looked at the two 5000 batteries nue has, one is the 30c as your looking at and then they have the 25c and the only differances between the two are 125amp/150amp continous, the 30c is 23mm longer and 25 grams heavier........i didnt know if you had seend that or not and was still going to run the 30c even though its so much longer, i am looking at the same battery for my setup, i saw one place that had either pack for $220 each, i thought that was a good deal but id have to look through my histroy and find it if you wanted the site.

thanks for the info rootar,

$220 each?? on the Neu website the 25C packs are $149.50, and the 30C packs are $188 each. Problem is im not too sure if they have any stock in at the moment...

[EDIT] which Neu packs are you talking about for $220? im planning on running 2x 3s packs for 6s.
