Upgraded my Brushless Buggy - 01.05.2008, 05:15 AM

I have been running this buggy for about 5 months now and I have made some upgrades. I was using gorilla straps to hold the main lipo battery (4s2p) but after a few races they started to come apart. So I added super heavy duty velcro strap. The original battery tray was plastic, but again after a few races it started to crack, so I made a heavy duty aluminum tray and mounted it very close to the centerline of the chassis. The battery tray has multiple mounting holes so it can be mounted forward, centered or toward the rear. The Mamba Max ESC has a built in temp cut off but there is nothing for the motor so I added a venom temp failsafe unit that is hooked up to monitor the motor temp. Also while I was at it I added a new larger heat sink to the Mamba that is much larger than the stocker. It stays much cooler than the stock setup. Because the heat sink is much larger I had to angle the ESC mount down to add the necessary body clearence. The Feigao motor is powerful but will fall apart because it has glued on endbells. I built a custom motor mount that braces the motor front and back.
