Brushless Warhead Revamp

[brushlessboy16]

DO i need any special mrk III, spec 2.5x bearing only found in guatemala or will any 5x11x5 work?

Good plan.
EDIT: Not sure about the bearing type. Others know more than I do, but I know that KD has a Feigao high speed bearing set, good for 80k rpm for $20.

My new R123f 75mhz receiver just came in :D

Just ordered:

4 Badlands MT Tires
4 Chrome Tmaxx wheels
14t mod1 pinion
18t mod1 pinion
CC BEC
60 Soldering Iron
Assorted Heatshrink
Warhead Race steering kit
Thin CA glue


Will standard duct tape work well to strap tires?

Isnt 44mph a bit agressive for a mamba max and 8xl on a heavy warhead? I was thinking closer to 35mph may be something thats more dooable. Nice build though. I like the warhead too.

i was thinking that but its completely gutted and an e-savage trasmission is mounted in the frame rails, should be relatively light

Dogbone pins were almost non existant
Spur gear was chipped

...ugh spur was also a 49t, so geared for 40 now :D

oooh that sucks but a little bit of part huntin and that warhead will be good as new.
