well, i decided to go ahead and throw it together today stealing some parts off my emaxx since i need to order a front driveshaft for it anyways. i will go into my problems in a bit, but first i'll let you know how it drove.

i really like it. yes the stock tires suck! this thing reminded me of my cen matrix buggy as far as controlling it. everything seemed smoth and completely controlled. i love it.

now the bad------my motor is no good. when i first tried to drive, it acted like the mesh was too tight, so i checked it again and no, perfect. it cogged so bad and had about 3mph top speed if i could even get it to move. so i mess with a few things including mamba settings and finially get it going. i got a solid 3 min. of driving when all the sudden every time i let off throtle i could tell there was a bind or breaks or something going on. i went and checked it out, pull the trigger and smoke. let it cool, spin it, smoke. pulled it apart, no debre or binding or burnt parts, still smoke on anything over 1/8th throtle. sent offshore an email about warrent since i removed the coating on the outside of the can. i think i just happed to get a dud motor since it was giving me problems right from the start. this really sucks.
