Well, The third pic is a little out of focus;) Nice work Pimp.

Ok, got it driveable. Will have pics up this afternoon.

Gave it a test run on 3s lipo. Decided that having the steering on the left stick was too much for my limited coordination, so I put it on the right stick with the throttle. Much better. With the 40 series slingers this truck has a ton of traction.

All controls are working as they should, and the 9100t seems to be turning the wheels ok. would like a more powerful servo, might give one of those hv turnigy servos a try, on 3s lipo of course!

I do have 2 4s 3600 12c lipos that I can run in parallel, not the highest discharge capable lipos but this truck does not have a ton of load... We will see, given the performance on 3s I will be gearing it down on 4s, as it is plenty fast in 2nd gear now.

Looks like a proline f650 body will be a good fit, that body fits a 15" wb nicely.

I know those Slingers are pretty big tires, but a 9100T isn't enough to turn them to your liking??? I've had some pretty big tires on my rigs and always thought my 9000T was the shiznit. Who makes the Slingers btw?

After doing another run tonight I was paying more attention to the servo performance. Turns out the servo saver spring is too weak... I will have to shim it, or if there is a stronger replacement maybe someone could link it up here?

I have had great success with jr servos, used the old 9000t alot and have a handful of 9100t servos in various vehicles. I also have a few of the big dog 8711 servos. I prefer jr servos to just about any other servo i have tried. I am temped to get one of those turnigy hv servos, and driect wire a 11.1v lipo to it... That is alot of power there!!!

Here are a few pics to how the wiring setup.

Made an elevated tray to hold the receiver. Use a few diff posts from a hyper7, and a scrap piece of kydex. Also found an antenna holder from a tamiya something or other. The bec is double stuck to the battery vent. You can also see my esc signal wire routing, kinda funny but I wanted to make sure it did not get cought in the outrunner rotating can.

I will say this cc outrunner is very torquey. I currently have the startup at low and with 4s lipo it has a very smooth start in both 1st and 2nd gear. My paralleld 12c lipos are ok, but I have a 6500mah 35c hyperion pack on the way for this build. Should shave some weight and give me a bit more discharge capability.

Everything works great, and I manged to snap a welded cvd shaft, I was jumping curbs. Must do around 30mph in 2nd gear. All temps are great, and it will almost wheelie. I have the punch control set at 50% and may well go up to 75%. No real need for tons of acceleration in this beast, especially with me on a stick radio controlling it!!! I am getting better, but it still feels weird to not use a wheel radio.

Traxxas part #5344x is the heavy duty servo saver spring, I always ran one and never had any issues with it being weak. Although you might be able to put a washer under it to shim the stocker, not sure how effective that will be. Wish they made a stronger one for the 3905 Emaxx, my stocker is so loose it's ridiculous.

Thanks, I will have to see if the lhs has that on the shelf. If not I will add it to my order list.
