Monster Mail
 

Monster Mail :005: Wanted to try something different a build in progress . What do you think any suggestions to make it really unique are welcome.

I can honestly say that is something I have never seen before. Are you going to get a video of it. May give a new meaning to air mail. :D

Flames are deffinately a must!

that's awesome

should I make it 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive? trying to figure out how to make it launch mail :D any suggestions stock emaxx moter or brushless?

i think 4wd for the rough stuff. i think the titans are enough for a mail box:005:

4wd OR 6WD:003:

GO FOR 6WD!!!!!! if you do wouldn't you need 2 transmissions though?:032:

You have way too much time on your hands 2 fast:P
cool GO 6WD!!!

Cemetry, with 6wd you wouldnt need a tranny.

Sylvester, how do you figure? Oh, and I would go 4WD with 2 more that freewheel.

project 2 upgradeing my xxx-s touring car already upgraded motor thinking about 4.5 brushless later

....

That is cool. I like the "gone postal"! With the shooting mail. Have a small brushless with a gear on the end with one tooth that can kick out one envelope at a time on a slide or something.

Here"s a video of the mail monster in action ,
will post more when it"s finished

thats one killer looking truck

Are you sure it is a truck. :D
I think it is pretty cool to see it move. Well the track let you race the otheres?

so hows it coming along there :P?

Thats soo cool! Man, imagine that on a track! ;)

Thanks for all the complements. having a problem took out my stock e-maxx motor put in my Novak HV-Maxx was going to shoot a video but when I tested it it took off and then just stopped the motor reved up but truck wouldn"t move when I opened front of mailbox smoke poured out:032: any suggestions on what may have happened?

That sounds like a short?

It looks to me as if the batteries got hot from the lack of airflow and melted the back of the battery. It also looks like the pinion ground through the gear cover. Thats how you got your smoke. BTW cool vid, you have to shot one outside with the HV-maxx....

One way to be sure, check the voltage of the cells, if they are under normal voltage (1.4V max) than it might have shorted.

Looks like you got the packs to hot and they melted the end cap. I would put them in SxS or SPT's

Check to make sure your rotor didn't come loose in the motor.
The batteries just had a hi amp draw with the thin bar on the end it melts the plastic. No biggie i did the same. It worries more more about the motor in the cover.
