Its a bad picture I'll get another one 2moro.

Yeah, that inductor is for the onboard BEC circuit; essentially what it does is filter the BEC PWM circuit to dampen any higher frequency 'noise', or EMI is what it is called. If it doesn't have one, you could get alot of interference fed into the Rx. I doesn't look like it is damaged to a point where is wouldn't work, in fact, I don't think I would even worry about it.

Yeah, looks like just a small chip on the plastic casing- assuming the esc still works, then just put a dab of plasti-dip or hotmelt glue over it to seal it up again. Got any padding under the esc?

Yeah I have padding under the ESC but the 4 shocks I'm using are just not enough! 4 more super shocks are on the wish list! I'm going to fix the fan and give it a careful go.

Did you fix it Zack?

Thanx, Neil yeah hot glue is what I used. ESC still works great, just gets hot without the fan. I'm thinking about cutting the top of the case off to expose the heat sinks alittle, whats the public opinion on that? Not gonna jump much until I can get 4 more super shocks for the sake of the poor ESC getting raddled again.

Lookie:

40 Series Mashers rapped around
Weld racing zero off set 23mm hub 40 series Cheyenne wheels

This is how I justified getting them incase you are wondering. I posted this in that other forum a few months ago.

Plus when I get my slipperential installed I'm going to want to gear up and the big tires will really help. Also I don't think it will look goofy because my wheelbase and stance are big. Big tires for a big truck! And maybe they won't slump to one side like the badlands do currently.

This is as good as humanly possible. Really wrinkly, ticking me off a bit, however after testing it I found it to be perfect. NO MORE Ballooning!

I love this image! Can you figure it out?

Tight heavy duty rubber bands to help in the glueing process.

See the crome hub cap on the wheel to the bottom right? Pretty neat, probably gonna run without for practicality sake.
Still the blue 23mm nut the the upper left corner looks pretty rockin.

More pics 2moro, I cleaned the truck body.

Looks great!!!!!!! I love the 40 series Mashers!

Thanks guys, means alot! Yeah this thing is built like a rock LOL Seriously its built well!

My family is going to the mountains Thursday so I wanted to be ready! My cousins from GA are coming and they are bringing Losi trucks a BL 8T and 2 BL XXXTs! Its gonna be a good weekend in the mountains!

Make sure you gear accordingly for those 40 series Mashers. I know they are heavier and will heat things up if geared too high.

Geared for ~39MPH

ANGRY-ALIEN · 11.09.2009, 04:50 PM

Zack, did you actually re-gear after adding the new wheels? I think nitrostarter was recommending going down a tooth or two to compensate for the extra load.

Nice ride Zack!

Did you use extra wide fiber tape on the tires.. looks like?

Is it possible at all to tape without turning the tire inside-out?

I've been putting it off, I really need to do it.

Its straping tape. Its packaging tape that has fibers running through it as to give strength. Mine is made by 3M you can pick it up anywhere. Works like a charm NO ballooning! Its better than duct tape as its lighter.

No, can you imagine LOL

It makes a big difference!

I had considered cutting, say 3 inch strips, and overlapping by like 1/4". It would be a headache I'm sure, but if you could do it inside the tire it would eliminate most of the wrinkling. I need to take one apart and just have a look and quit being a wuss about it lol. Strapping tape would be better, I have plenty of 3/4' wide fiber tape, but that would be a lot of pieces...

I know most people hate Zombie Max tires, and they do balloon at ~30. But after well over a year they show almost no wear. And traction that could almost climb walls...

Looks real good Zack, never enough $ for this stuff is there?
