I think that esc's catch phrase is "the only esc you have to hold with 2 hands" lol.

Love the truck and vids, keep 'em up!

Today wasn't a good day. It was windy here in NJ, but the wind wasn't the problem. Check out the 2 pictures:

It still went 59MPH, but I slowed down because of the tires:

I will put my foam tires on and try again another day. The foam tires are a bit smaller in diameter, but it will have to do for now. The lipos that I used are worthless. A few cells seems to have puffed after the run. For the next run I will bring my 36v packs down to about 30v and wire them in series. Lets see how that motor and foams like 60v. I'm also going to see if I can change the center diff and put my solid center in the truck.

:) I don't know if that ESC will take 60 volts dude... the solid center would be nice.. or you can find some way to lock the center diff. I like where your project is going...

aqwut,

I just rounded ot te numbers. I'm thinking of bringing the pack's voltage down to about 28.5 to 29 volts. That should be near the limit of the ESC.

Very cool dude... I'm sure you're gonna break some Monster Truck speed records...

When are you going to join the fun? LOL!!!

WOW Major props. I like the build, I like the fact your pushing limits.

Subscribing, I want to see what you do next......;)

Dude! You're crazy! But I can't wait to see how it turns out! Good luck with it!

I have to give Bomb-Proof Products a lot of credit on this truck. It is simply taking the abuse. I think we all need to do HV projects like this so manufactures will put out some real ESC that puts the power out and can handle HV.

in the [HV] r/c fast electric boating community we refer to the Schulze 40-160 controls as Pop Tarts... a reference to thier size

you picked the right esc for this mission... good luck sir!

There is a bigger controller out there and I'm trying to see if I can get my hands on one. It is rate at 200A and can handle 14S lipos. How is beautifull Florida?

Waterdog...Welcome to the forums. I have a good friend in Jacksonville and family south of Ft. Meyers.

I've been checking the boat forums and you guys are sure having fun. There is one guy with 4 40.160 and 4 Pletenbergs in his boat. Good Lord.

Florida is still beautiful and thanks..

this forum is a god-send for an old SAWS [straightline record time trials] fast electric boater with a new interest in r/c monster trucks like me...

i've been reading posts for 3-days trying to get a handle on my new project 8IGHT-T roller...

the answers to my questions are all here!
