Castle 5th scale

Cody, any word on your bench testing?

Working on finishing my install tonight, had to make a couple of mods to the mount to support things but it's looking good.

As suggested earlier in the thread I'm pressing forward with 6.5mm bullets for the batteries. I'm not as comfortable using bullets as hosed connectors due to the risk of a short so I wanted to ask those that use them what recommendations, if any they have? I'm obviously going to shrink wrap the bullets themselves but wanted to see if anyone had other pointers.

U can shorten the wire with male bullets for like 2cm or so. The risk will be a lot smaller.

Thanks for all of the pointers on how to lessen risk with bullets, it confirmed a couple of ideas I had. In the end I went all female on the batteries. I made my first run on 8S today and it drives just as quick as my Neu 1515 MMM powered E-Revo. I can't believe how fast it jumps around, even with all of the aluminum I have on the truck, if anything it's keeping the front end down some so maybe it's better that way.

What a great kit, compliments to Castle and the strong engineering talent it took to bring this to market.

I want to specifically thank Christy at Castle, she went above and beyond to get the kit out to me last week, my hat is off to her.

Hi, no I haven't yet sorry, I should be able to find some time tomorrow or Sunday though.

What would happen if I use Deans Ultra Plugs on the ESC and Batteries? I know that they are VERY difficult to solder with Deans, but I'm pretty good at soldering. I've heard that it's okay to use Deans & I've also heard that you can't. Please help!!!....
