Another MBX6T Race Build.

Tedo,

Thanks for the response. I had actually been following your build here for a bit. Very very similar to what I'm putting together.

I planned on going with 5S solely for the efficiency boost plus it allows me to run a lower kv motor so a little more torque/less work/heat. At least that's the concept right now.

Mike's setup has been great to work with. Simple mod from my end (I did all the custom machining on my hyper7 conversion) so this was an easy bolt together option. Overall, the layout is clean and simple. Battery tray is large enough to offer options regardless of setup and the motor mount works perfectly for my needs. Hopefully it'll translate to fast laps and an easy to drive truck.

Love your body choice too ;) Same setup as mine actually. lol

How have you found the slipper to work for you? Being a mechanical designer, I can really appreciate the concept especially for direct drive guys. Any driveline protection is good protection provided it doesn't make it less reliable. I'd actually like to see Mike incorporate the Mugen outdrives for a small weight reduction (anything helps).

Overall, seems like your getting decent battery life based on what looks like a very fast track layout. Hoping I can get similar from a slightly more efficient setup running on 5S.

Truck looks wicked!
