How do you like your BK20150 controller your the first person I've seen with one.

BTW NICE TRUCK you did a very good job on it.

Thank you for the compliment. It took about 6 weeks before getting it right.
I changed the rear body mount to Integy with black plastic post to see if it is stronger then the Trinity mount. So far holding up. :027:

As far as the battery problem it turns out it was the batteries shorting out against the chassis. :mad:1 I ordered from Mike new blue cussions for the batteries and I shrink wrapped all my batteries instead of some of them. I also replace the UBEC with a new one. I tried it out with two different runs on Sunday and I did not have any problems at all.

Now onto the BK20150 controller - what can I say but IT'S GREAT. I don't like the fact that it has two wires for each lead to the motor, (that makes a total of six.) It makes it difficult to solder two wires that thick to a deans connection and then add the bec wire to it also and then of course I needed to shrink wrap all of that. This was a royal pain in the but. However setting it up could not be easier and disabling the the bec was real simple. Performance and speed is not a problem either, it does what I want it to do immediately. However I had to put my speed controller braking down to 50% because it was stopping to hard. The sparks under the truck was the front of the chassis hitting the ground during hard braking at night. That is why I lowered it to 50%.

Heat is not a problem anymore. Since I been playing around trying to fix up all the problems I had, heat is no longer a problem. Sure it gets warm on the batts, eng. and the esc but not burning hot like it was. Thats why I have the 2-3S 8000MAH Maxamps lipos on order from Mike. Now that everything works perfectly its time to run it at full speed. :027:

P.S. I finally bought the Bushnell radar gun 10-1911. I found it online at a local wharehouse and I picked it up for $90.00 (no tax/no shipping.) I am going to try two high speed passes:

1) Two six packs of GP3300 batteries in series. :007:
2) Then 2-3S 8000MAH Maxamps lipos. :043:

that incredible man thats the best looking revo yet imo how much $$$$$$ in that thing????? i bet atleast 2 grand

I spent too much, if you add up the batts and the charger and the controller I already had it is approx. $3500-$4000.:020:

Like I said too much money.:035:

However if it does 60 mph I will be very happy. :eek: :027: :004: :026: :013: :043:

By the way, I never updated my diffs so I expect to be upgrading them next. Didn't want to change that until last only because it is the only part of the truck that you can not see just by looking at it.

[smhertzog]

Mike has got some new hybrid housings on the way that use 1/8th scale diffs. I'd wait till they came out before I upgraded anyway.

[Rcbros]

I'd look into JDCarbon.com pushrod and turnbuckles. Better and stronger then both lunsford and traxxas. Yet to bent or brake mine. My 2 cents..

looks good. Not a fan of integy but still looks good!

[vette1]

I saw the article in the magazine. I am probable going to upgrade once I crash these. No reason to spend double money are parts I don't need yet.

Very true about the JD Carbons, but a PITA to adjust!

[vette1]

We should all be buried with our trucks.

As far as revo vs. emaxx I'll take anything as long as it is fast and fun.
