My GCM RB3 is (nearly) complete!

[jsr]

Yup, love the E-Sav platform. Just so many things you can turn it into. I would like to mount the ESC closer to the motor. As it is, I had to move the ESC slightly closer to the motor since it's sooo far away with the super-long RB2X chassis.
The ESC runs great with this setup. While the weight of the E-Sav is about the same as a 1/8-buggy, the tranny helps alleviate a lot of load from the motor, which resultingly takes some load off the ESC. The ESC's never broken 120F, even on a hot day at the track. And I had the ESC pushing a MUCH larger motor than that before in the E-Sav. Those little 60A EZRuns take quite a bit of abuse. And I've heard the V2s come with a pair of 470uF 25V caps already, so that means I'm running 5x 470uF 25V caps right now...sweet!

Those E-Maxx turnbuckles look much better than my CRT ones. I might pick up a set of those. Do I just get the normal ones and they'll fit fine?

I still want to do a few things like aluminum bottom support for the servos (it's the stock plastic right now and I already broke one of those). Maybe a Jedi mount which will lower the CG quite a bit. And a superglide kit.

Yes JSR, as far as I'm aware they are just E-maxx turnbuckles. Nothing special. When I get home I'll check length on them just to make sure, I think the front and rear turnbuckles are different lengths, I think you need the longer ones for the Exarms.

On another note my motor just turned up. Got some plugs soldered just waiting to get home from my parents to get it mounted. Looks pretty trick!

The RB3 is for all intents and purposes, done. New shell sprayed (and christened shortly before these pics were taken) some light but shiny rims and the Tekno Lektron motor mounted running 24/66 through a 4s pack on an MM pro.









Well, complete for now anyway.
