Upate-
Have been running the truck lightly for a while, the rcm lipos are doing great! I couldn't ask for more...(or could I) The motor has yet to reach 125 degrees.
I replaced the ball ends on the truck with offset ends to match my 0 offset rims..trouble is that I neglected to make a note of the turnbuckle length, so now my truck has about 3 degrees of toe in instead of out :oops:. Also broke my wing mount and my my battery tray ends while running with Eovnu the past weekend.. The story to the battery trays goes as follows. I was just zipping up and down the street and Mike(eovnu) let his girlfriend drive his hyper 7- he told here to drive the car to him so he could check something, all was well and she decided to floor it in reverse.... headed strait for me.. I jumped to avoid the car while cranking my steering wheel to the right on my m8. The cen went flying into a curb at about 20mph... blew the front battery stops right out.
So I have a little bit of rebuilding to do. My time is limited as its FIRST Robotics "build season" where we work everyday after school till 6, then weekends 8-5.
Right now i was experimenting with our teams hand lathe, making a center spool for Mike's hyper seven.
If you have seen my other thread, you know that i have been having motor mount troubles. My 1/8"2x2 aluminum angle mount is starting to deteriorate and flexes ALOT!, I noticed it when I would yank the trigger the gear sound would change(loading up) then die back down once the truck stopped accelerating. The solution seems to be a 3/16th" 6061 aluminum mount off the center diff, tied into the main chassis. Im probably going to make that today.
Sorry for being long winded :)
