Chassis thoughts... vertical, or horizontal batts

Nice heatsink, looks like a few fins are bent :028:

Is that lexan hole for a fan, over top of the motor?

Hey! Those 1/8 Badland tires, how do you like those? I really want ot get a set of those. How are they for traction, and is the wearing good? Also, what about ballooning, is it a problem?

Yes, that is a lexan top plate. It is probably the 3rd or for one I have made for this buggy. It seems that I haven't been satisfied with my other setups and I have to redo the top plate too. The hole for the fan I will only use in the summer. It is nice and cool here now.

The Badland tires I only use in dirt. They have great traction and seem to were well. No ballooning either. With the power of brushless you can really tear up the dirt. The only bad thing I can think of is that sometimes it's too much traction and you get traction rolls and even that isn't to bad, other than that they are great.

Not to worry! I wonder if there are any others besides you, me and Smertzhog that have done that mod.

I really like the Quark 125 for 1/8. It is a very smooth controller. I wish it were easier to program, but it isn't to bad. I just got another one for the Jammin CRT I'm working on. Eventually I'm sure I will end up modding that one too! I want to make sure it works first though.
