Any change you are going to put the batteries more to the front? (i'm personally not a fan of wheelies)
Looks great. And I agree with Serum, try building some battery holders so you can adjust that weight up front some more.

That is nice. Do you know how much weight saved with stock arms?


Peace!

I was thinking the same thing. Mount 2 of the packs up front and the third in the rear on the opposite side of the motor to offset the weight. Just got to figure out the wiring or mounting of the esc so I don't have too much wire.
Thanks for the comments!

I think I saved at least a pound going back to stock. I didn't think to weigh it before it was stripped.
Moved the pass. side batts to the front and added the third 6 cell pack to the drive front. I still gotta add a handle just for that extra peace of mind. Waiting on the batts to charge so I can test it. I hope it's not to offbalance when jumping. We'll have to see...


And here's one of my mp which is the only nitro I own that has not been revamped for the brushless besides the revo but that is going to be soon!
