Thanks guys

My ERBE made friends with lots of trees of this spot but my bank account doesn't like them

I'm going to change the look of my ERBE and to strengthen it, I hope I could post pics by mid-April Zack.

Can't wait the vid of your beast you promised neil ! The MT you're building looks awesome and I'm sure it's really funny to drive it

Broken parts :
- Rear bumper mount
- Body
- Tool box

And no stripped spur gear thanks to the HPP bracket

What is the HPP bracket? Nice vid by the way!

New look !!

I needed new lipo packs (and therefore a new chassis) so I decided to change the look of my ERBE as well ! Here is the result :

[Popoxx]

What's new !

- Turnigy 5000mAh 2s 20C hardcase lipo packs
- Black died chassis/rockers
- RC Solutions black rollcage
- Home-made rear brace
- FullForce RC carbon pushrods
- HPP motor bracket prototype


I replaced my SMC 6000mAh 2s 28C lipo packs because they lost their power and puffed during charge and discharge. So I decided to test the cheap Turnigy packs :

Black chassis ! Simple, common mod and great result :









I cut and dremel these spots to install my lipo packs :




To protect the wires and to reinforce the chassis/bulk spots I bought a rollcage (4 months to get it due to post office malfunctioning...). Looks really strong and easy to install (don't forget threadlock). I raised a bit the body so that it doesn't rub too much against the rollcage :

I had bought FullForce RC pushrods a long time ago. Traxxas optional pushrods are great, I just wanted to test the carbon ones They are really lighter ! Carbon pushrods vs Traxxas (desanodized) tubes :




I found some liquid tape to cover the worn motor wires (finally !), excellent product :






Here are some close pics :

- Lipo packs installation :

- Motor bracket & Tekno skid :






- Rollcage :






Hope you like it ! I will make a vid really soon !

The cage looks sweet! It's freaking beefy! I've tried those CF pushrods and didn't like'em , unless your trying to shave as much weight as possible they arent worth it to me. I SHATTERED my set off a 6ft jump with 50wt shock fluid, I went back to lunsford Ti versions--Josh

Nice truck, look great

what knid of motor mount is that

[suicideneil]

Heres the thread for that motor support bracket thingy:

That erevo looks bitchin' thanks to that cage and dye-job, rarely seen such evidence of bashing that severe...

[Popoxx]

You're wrong neil this ERBE is a shelf-queen !!

















... just kidding

I will be wise I swear

Thanks for your kind words medicineman & bigsteel. The motor mount is a prototype, the final version will be available soon I hope ! Concerning the carbon pushrods we'll see, I just wanted to test them
But if they can't hold out a 6ft jump, I keep my Traxxas tubes in the tool box !

The push rods may have just been a fluke or a bad set,but I'm 6ft tall and they passed eye level and sploded on impact!LOL,I hope you have better luck than I did ,though they look slick while they are in one piece!--Josh

I've ben looking at your threads of your E-trucks and I admire them and especially the nice photography. Excellent pics !
Wish I had such nice woodsy backgrounds to work with. I'm really liking how you have set your trucks up with no all glam and glitter, just the stuff needed to make them tough but with subtle tones of coolness.
