Hey guys hows it going. I was driving my triple XT about a month ago and i was driving a full speed and i hit a big water pudle. My car stoped immediatly. I took of the hood and noticed the ESC was smoking. I was disapointed because i realy liked to drive that car and at that time i did not have the cash for a new ESC. A few weeks later i was driving my E-Maxx and my steering servo gave out. I was also disapointed. At this time i of course could buy the replacement servo but if i was going to upgrade what was the point on spending money on a temporary servo. So for my new one i needed to collect more money before i could drive it. So i basically had 2 broken cars laying around. This was a monday and i was planning on racing my e-maxx at my local hobby store's race because my triple XT was undriveable. The week went on and since i had nothing to drve i was very board. Untill Friday night i thought of an idea that if it worked would allow me to race. I was 40% sure it would work. I took my 2 3000 super duties, my emaxx EVX ESC and one titan motor. I only hd to do some minor modification for this all to work. The first thing i had to do was drill a bigger hole in the motor mount. After hours of testing i finally got it working. I had to mount the 2 batteries verticaly and because the esc was so big i had to mount it on top of the 2 batteries same with the reciever. I Had to stiffin the shocks so the xxx-t would not bottom out. On my first test run i got to about 31mph and it had enough tourque to go through grass and any terrain but do good speed on the street. If i held it up to do a wheelie it would do 360s vertically because of the torque, but yet if i did not lift the front up it would not do wheelies i would just stick to the road so it was very controlable. when all was said and done it was a realy fun car to bash and race. Even though i may sound stupid i had nothing better to do, and i was board. So please give my your thoughts, opinions, suggestions, and what you think about it. Thanks. PS. sorry for some of the picture quality the good ones did not upload correctly
