Anyway, here are some pics of it as well. The first 5 pics are about a week old, I now have a dual fan setup on the motor, as well as RPM arms all around. And the last few pics are about 4 weeks old, when the truck was still brushed.

Looks great Chris! I cant wait for a video of it on 4s.

And since this is a build thread, I guess I should start posting updates about it.....


I have started putting a full set of RPM arms on the truck (its very tedious work too..... )

and I should get my new Protek 4000 mAh 2S 30C pack back from A-Main soon... I have one of the 2S packs still, but I had to send one of them back to A-Main because it came puffed in the mail. Should have it back by about Tuesday or Wednesday.

Also in desperate need of some of those UE SuperMaxx Dual Rate Springs, because they are the only ones I could find that came with stiffer rating on them. And UE says they are out of stock.....

Already taken care of. Those pics of the brushless setup are about a week old, all of the bugs and small things like that have been fixed.

Just settle down Ryan.....

I will probably take some good pics of it tomorrow.

And don't be mad if its dirty in the pics tomorrow, I don't bother to clean it much, so just a warning, lol

You know what they say "a clean r/c goes faster than a dirty one".

Hah! When your driving in all dirt, I think a dirty RC would be better than a clean one. Besides, it looks better with some dust on the wheels and body, and some on the inside. Proves the truck is really bashed alot.

Lol, you actually have to clean yours? In all of your videos you are running on grass and pavement, doesn't seem like you would have alot to clean off of them....

Thats exactly my point... I enjoy cleaning my r/c's because ussually theirs not much to clean. Once in awhile I'll find a mudhole or some dirt and then I have a fun 2 hrs cleaning it top to bottom.

Wow, you actually enjoy cleaning your RC's? I can't stand cleaning them. My 1/8 nitro buggy is the only RC that I actually keep clean because nitro fuel/exhaust and dirt tend to ruin stuff.

Anyway, does anyone out there have a set of UE SuperMaxx Dual Rate Springs? Because UE says they are out of stock and I really really need a set..... PM me if you have a set or post here....
