I think that it is awesome. I can imagine that it is fast even with the 9xl motor since it truly was designed for larger/heavier rc's, lol. That motor is even being used in muggy's which are easily over 10lbs :005: . But very nice conversion. Let us know how it handles. I have been wondering at all the different options there are for 1/10 scale 4wd st's.

Hi Aod, good to see it up and running it looks very good, congratulations.

I've got my lightning 2 pro finished now too, althought I knew the lightning stadium chassis was biger, I was suprised at how much space yours has compared to the buggy.

When I read 4000 4s2p I was expecting a huge pack but that looks alot smaller than the NiCads I'm using at the moment (I'm still not 100% what battery I will get but at the moment Im leaning towards 4s enerland 4500 when they become available) how tall is your pack and what does it weigh?

Geting it lighter than stock is very Impressive especialy with 8000 on-board, how much does it weigh all up? my buggy is 8lb 12oz with 12 2400s, alot heavyer than stock I expect.

The brakes on the MM are awesome arn't they, I wasnt expecting that either, I had to turn the brakes down to 30% to stop mine locking up with road tyres on dry tarmac and it will still lock up in the rain.

I ended up spending more on my servo than I did on my motor, but I would be very interested to see the linkage you used to run 2 servos, that would have suited my budget better had I thought of it, well done.

Your motor looks red is that the photo or is it a Zee XL from OZ? I see it has screws into the front endbell, did it come like that or was it a mod you did? are there screws in the back too hidden by the wires?

Nice lookin' buggy Paul. The battery just looks small but you can't tell from the pics that I stacked one on top of the other. The footprint is small though. The motor is a pulso chinese ripoff that I bought from Brian Buass at RRR. I strongly advise that nobody purchase one of these motors. They are NOT a "good deal". The screws that you see are there because I had to put them in to keep the motor from falling apart. The pulso motors have threaded endcaps that screw off, however, my motor's threads were just ruined and it was in an UNOPENED box! so the motor would just fall apart under gravity when mounted on anything. The steering was pretty simple and I just made the parts so it didn't cost me any money. I'l post a pic and you can check it. I would deffinatly say use two on a truggy unless you have somthing digital and not cheesy like mine.
