I have heard some not so good things about the V11 motors. They are the yellow/tan one's, right?

Yeah, I got the one(s) in the second link.

I have heard from a couple local guys that the v11's seem to have a rather shorter life than the cheaper motor. Both motor's are the lower price range end for me. But I didnt want to "waste" the extra money on a motor that I plan on replacing sooner rather than later down the road. Plus the fact it may not last the amount of time that I plan on using it.

Did any of that make sense? :neutral:

45t motor's, metric pinion's, VP knuckles, and 80mm shocks arrived today. :yipi:

Word on da skreet is my chassis and 2 sets of body panels should arrive on Friday. One set of panels is a custom dealy-O and the other is a solid paintjob.

I will post up some pic's of the parts pile when my chassis gets here at the end of this week.

Still undecided on the wheels. :slap:

I bumped up to 13t pinions on this build.

And yeah, that's what I thought about with the Mayhems. A small wait when ordering custom.

Looks good. I belive you will have to add 3 capacitors to each motor, so you dont get radio interfirance. Nice shocks :na::lol:.

RCShocker 04.03.2009 08:25 PM

The only thing I'm adding to the motor's are wire and solder. :oh:

I was planning to do a little building tonight. I still may do a little.

But Duke Energy called and said they are cutting power from 10:30pm-11:30pm for service tonight. That sounds like a 4am to 5am type deal to me. But I'm sure they have their reasons. :no:

It's not like I'm in a huge hurry anyway. As usual, there are a few little things I had not thought about purchasing/needing yet.

What type of upper's are you8 planning to run?

You may get glitching if you dont have capacitors on your motors .
If you mean upper links . Im using revo aluminum push rods # 5318x & 5319x. Are you going to run the shocks inverted or regular ?.

RCShocker 04.04.2009 09:54 AM

I've never used caps before and certainly have not had any issues. Let's not jinx it. :wink:

In fact, as far as my crawlers go, I have never even unraveled the antenna on the receiver. It still has the original ziptie from packaging. :yes: You can see it in the picture below. I'm not saying "Do It" like that. But it has worked for me.

I figure the only time my crawler is more than 5'-10' away from me is when I kick it. :whistle:

I was able to invert the shocks and mount them. Which if it can be done that way is what I prefer on my crawlers. Get the shock body & oil weight down lower on the rig. I have run into a couple of instance's to where I had to mount them "right side up". :lol:
