hmm it could be, look on the right side of the mount, that cut took 15 minutes and 2 reciprocating saw blades

wow 200 grams is like tagging an extra 1/10 motor around.....btw that reciever box is HUGE!

Why do you always take pics in your bathroom?

Ya, i just weighed a stock 540 motor... exactly 202g.. the rx box is the only one i had so it will do:yes:
Cuz it has the most light in my house:intello:

I think you just like to be close to your toilet:mdr:

cuz everytime i think of Travis Blackmer it makes me wanna puke:na:

Exactly, Remember, im black like you :)

So how much is the total Matrix weight now? :)

Mine is about 3700grams.

I dont have an accurate enough scale at the moment, my litte scale only goes up to 2000g

well tak the front assembly off and weigh it and take the rear and center and weigh it and then weigh your tires and wheels.....................lol

Yah, i know for a fact that my wheels and tires are heavy as hell :D
I have a set of mugen truggy wheels on the way, not bad for 4 bucks:whistle: now i just need new tires

Wow! I just got my v3, its amazing geared 12/66 for 42 mph. with 45 degree weather nothing broke 100 degrees! I love it... 42 seems slow to me :lol:
I think i can use these tires on my new rims, but the foams are messed up.. truck bounces at wot..

would anyone know why my truck pulls to the right under accel?

12t Pinion is no longer- can be used as a shank now :lol:
Ordered a 13t Rcm hardened gear- that was shipped out from mike today.

In the mean time- i was running my 16t hardened and its fine on the steel spur. My MMM's fan has yet to come on. Got the motor up to 130* running out on the front lawn.. Can i tell you how much i adore DSM radios.. it was 31 degrees outside and i was sitting up in my room driving from the window.:lol:(kind of sucked when the truck flipped over down the street:no: )


I got to Weight the truck- little on the hefty side, 9lbs without batteres.

Going goo soo far :yes:

Lol.

Anyone know any good online store that sells Cen parts in europe? Need front suspension arms, mx009.

Not sure about europe...I know Tower hobbies ships internationally.

I think i have decided to go R/c racing at trax 70 in the 09 season. I think im in the clear, would only need a couple things
-servo
-more batteries(zippies most likely)
-Wheels and tires.
-faster charger


Also I just got my 4 dollar set of wheels from Killer hobbies :lol:, Also ordered 17mm hubs off ebay. now i just need some tires.


*my pinion and hubs should be home when I get there.* :yipi:

Check their rules on batteries first...

Way ahead of you
From my Local track:

Doh!
 

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s...1122081224.jpg



was doing a makeshift track around my yard- trees as turning posts. Clipped one just barely enough to brake my right front a-arm.. the cold didnt help any by making everything brittle.:no:

Another bathroom shot ;) and down for a while - That sucks

Lol exactly same part from same place broke for me too:

http://www.aijaa.com/img/b/00187/3132442.jpg

Wow, it actually can break.

Yeah it does, but what can u do:wink:

Yikes, Im just glad nothing else broke on mine- shocks arent bent- neither is the dog bone.
yah.. it was 28 degrees when i was running the truck.. it doesnt supprise me.


I had just tweaked the steering linkage for more throw. and was messing with the dual rates and endpoints... needless to say that the truck turns a whole lot tighter now :D

No i just need tires with some life left in them and I will be good:yes:

Nice sink

thanks?:neutral:

Hah.

2x


But on a more serious note, that really sucks about that suspension arm. Don't you know you aren't supposed to drive into things?! :lol:

Updated List
 

The ever-changing list.. Decided to go with 2 2s hardcased lipos incase my track converts over to ROAR rules or so that I can race at Roar sanctioned tracks.

2x Enerland PQ-5100RXP-2S Hard Case Car Pack- $200

Deans Male Ultra Plug (2)- $3

Jconcepts Rulux Half Ups- $20

2x Pro-Line LPR XTR Bowties


Trying to decide on a servo, the Ace 1313
# Transit time: 0.13 sec/deg @ 6V
# Torque: 12.5 kg/cm (173.6 oz/in) @ 6V

Or the Overkill servo- JR Z9100S

Torque: 150 oz/in @ 4.8V, 180 oz/in @ 6V
Speed: .08 sec / 60 degrees @ 4.8V, .06 sec / 60 degrees @ 6V:gasp:

Big price difference on the two. i like the speed though

We all know that trees and mailboxes jump in front of cars.. rc and full sized:whistle:

Ok then... Nice list. I just ordered some stuff from amain to finish the hyper st, finally.

Just a heads up, those battery packs arent listed on the ROAR website as approved as of now. So unless they get on that list they still wouldnt be allowed to race at an official ROAR event. Just dont want to see you spend the money on them and not get what you think you are getting. Here is a list of all ROAR approved batteries as of now. http://www.roarracing.com/approvals/lipobattery.php

Thanks Jhautz.

So why are they claiming that they are roar approved?






Truck is very dirty in the pics, will clean it later this week :lol:
HI RES PICS!

Could be that they are approved, but the ROAR list isnt updated yet, or it could be that they arent and whoever is claiming they are isnt correct. I would do a little checking before buying if you truly need roar packs.

Alright, ill look into it

Jhautz do you happen to have any spare front arms for the matrix?

No, I sent them with my Matrix when I sold it. Dont think I have any sitting around.

OMG a shot not in the bathroom!!
:great:

:lol:
shhh "borrowed" my parents new 10MP fujifilm camera :lol:

:lol:

I just noticed that aswell.:yes:

nice pics Ben!

Just wondering, but why don't you have the motor on the right side of the chassis and the battery on the left like most other conversions? Just seems like it would be a better setup, more room for the battery.

erm, cuz the original mount was on the left side of the chassis and i never had a reason to move it, and my battery placement is a whole lot closer to the centerline as is compared to it being outside the spur.
