This truck was my inspiration too largely, though I never did bother with a single central motor mount in the end, too much hassle. Liking the battery stops, those look rather nifty

Buy some lipos though- get the zippies, cheap and awesome specs- you'll be blown away by the power and speed compared to those old nimhs...

Still looking great....this is fast for a NiMH power brushless

Hope to see the new setup (if you did change anything)

Hijack: How is the brushless Juggernaut?

gone, I put the motors in the emaxx originall and sold the truck off, it was a it of a test bed really.

The cells last a good 10 minutes but they are not as good as the IB4200 I have. Speedo thermalled as I was pushing it a bit so I have finally installed a fan it was a tight squeeze but it just fits!

Whoah I wish I was that guy who bought that juggy....

How are the fans doing? Have they reduced the ESC thermal shutdown? Hope to see vids soon...

Truckbasher : Not sure, should be ok, im running a resistor in line with the fan so it drops 22volts to 12v, so the fan is at full speed. I only fitted it last night, tightened the clutch too will hopefully run it again soon weather permitting :)

Plettenbergs : Hey saw your trucks the other day, who did you get that chassis off? I remember seeing it before years ago but I cant remeber who made it.

Its just so damn nimble compared to most other Emaxxes- on tarmac, most other trucks would've rolled doing those slides and 360s.

yeh, i was surprised when I drove it how well it handled. I spent a long time fine tuning the suspension and weight distribution but i'd forgotten all about that as its been so long. if it gets sideways you can power slide it or add opposite lock to catch it which feels odd with such a big truck.

It actually stopped raining long enough for me to get outside! Which I was over the moon about having spent the previous day re building the clutch and fitting a new spur gear (not easy, it needs turning down on a lathe to fit).

Much better on these cells (ib4200's) more than enough power really, only problem was my gear came loose :(

note 4wd drifts and slides, that was 1 minute of pure fun.
