You really should shrink those motor bullet connectors, you're begging for a massive short, then death of another v3 MMM.

I have one CEN project ongoing right now, soon will post pics too
But I have couple recomendations about CEN improovment
Change F/R diff gearing it will allow you to use smaller spur gear 66t vs 46t, i will do it too later.
info can be found here: http://www.truggyracers.com/forum/in...c=14710&st=180
Use CEN buggy diff braces it will allow some flex and improve handling
Now your weight balance is way back
If you change motor position, center diff gear and move battery more to centre you will gane huge improovments in handling.

Wont break even with the shortcut. Tried with 2 shortcutted motors. And Castle has tested it too and said on this forum. No failures.

Got some early xmax gifts in the form of proline Holeshot MTR's in the xtr compond, and some dish rims untill i convert to 17mm :)

Looks great!

THanks ryan... i just got finished cleaning the thing and its dirty already!

Haha, dirt is my worst enemy...

Same. I need to gear up the truck to get my speed back. 35mph is boring....:lol:
Im thinking making a CORR truggy hybrid. the hardcorr or desert rat for the slash or slayer would look awesome on the truck.

Holeshots are holding up well so far for grass/dirt andsome car chasing.

Im Loving xmas soo far, I have 2 things on my list that i know are going to be under the tree

2x 2s RCM 5200mah 28/50C lipos

Ace R/c 1015 servo :)



Then i need to buy a better charger as my imax b5 can only charge at 50w, any suggestions?

Triton 2, Hyperion E0S6I, Bantam b6, Max E6, GT A-6.... Alot of chargers out their. Just have to name your budget.:yes:

Ben, don't forget my present, your custom mount =] Can't wait to see it.

:)

I need to design it

:mdr: have fun with that, im gonna go snowmobile.

Get a good amount of snow yet trev? Weve got 19 inches sitting on out ground right now and that does not include the behemoth snow banks.:lol:

AHHHHHHH, we got 6 inches

Thats what she said....

Lmfao, I knew someone would bring that up.:lol:

That's what I said.

Haha...

:lol:

is that before or after she slapped you:lol:

Haha, fail.

No, that was an epic fail, ben.

Not even close.. working on a motor mount in CAD so i can have it machined.

Whats the difference between 7075 and 6061 aluminum?

7075 is harder, stronger, harder to work with and a tad heavier.

there are 3 kinds of 7075 Al and T6 grade its pretty expensive too at least in europe. 6061-T6 will do job fine as motor mount about 8-6mm thick

I 2nd that. 6061 aluminum is very rigid. Its what swami-rc uses for his swami bars. I landed on that thing so many times on cement from atleast 10-15feet up and it didnt even bend a little.

That's with a ~4-5lb rustler though.

I was talking to a machinist for a little bit, he says that 6061 will be fine.
here is what i came up with

o0o, I likey

Better than that crappy looking piece of angle al.

Nice.

Did A little revision on the mount- now it has a recessed area for the pinion to sit, and a slot for an allen wrench to fit. Now i need an M3 drill and tap set to go with my m4 so i can finish it after its machined.

o0o Nice, can't wait to see the finished product.

Well it was a good day, Mike(eovnu87435ds) came over, Taped up the cars to run wet weather... was all well and good romping around in the mud and puddles(the cars), until Mike's transmistter decided not to cooperate. So after spending an hour diagnosing the Transmitter. we started work on the evader aka Supervader... Modded a savage 49t spur gear to fit it along with grinding the transcase, motor plate and fins on the motor to get the 8l(finned) to fit..

This was the matrix after 5 mins

good times..

Yer camber looks to be off in the rear :mdr:

Nope, thats the toe in, makes it look odd

If All goes well, in 2 days i will have a new set of lipos and a new servo.
Now that I'm running 4s it allows me to get rid of that rediculous spur gear.. I plan to step down to a 52t spur so i can flip the diff and run my motor up front, and saddle'd lipos in the rear.
I found these trays, but they would need battery straps etc.

I was also looking at cutting the trays out of an emaxx chassis to have the benifits of hold down bars...


So my after xmas shopping list is:
-Kyosho Lightweight 52t spur gear.$25
-Custom motor mount- $10
-Buggy chassis braces and belcrank support- $10
-Miscelaneous screws, bolts etc-TBD
