Project Super-VBS-CF-Gorillamaxx!!!

[SV6000]

Hey Jordan
I have one of those MGM 28025 in my STRR running my plettenburg Maxximum. It is a really good speedy and can handle a battering. Mostly because my driving is really bad. I will say that as soon as you get it the first thing you should do is download the latest SW and controller program from their website. I am waiting for Mike to get the 25035 speedy. I have a spare C50 lying around that would be perfect for 8s

alright, finally you've got the esc on the way, how long has it been since the start of this build? Too long.

well done.

[TDC57]

SO did you get your MGM and motor working SIR ?????

Got any pictures ???, how was DAD's first day out with the youngin ??? Inquiring minds want to know..

Have a great week sir and I'm looking forward to the update..

[jordan...]

Nope, not connected yet. Those 5.5mm connectors that i bought with the 'she'll be right' attitude ended up too small to fit on the motor wires. I have managed to find some 6.5mm connectors and they are on their way from Tower. Im a bit frustrated that its been pushed back again, but when i get these that will definately be everything i need to get this running... i hope .

I'm also working on a mount for the ESC, as there isn't much free space with the motor mounted in the centre. Its really simple but should look trick when its done, just need a package from Gmaxx to arrive to finish it up.

Here are some pics of the ESC while im at it, i soldered the battery connectors on and heatshrinked the parallel harness on as well. All i need is the gold plugs and im ready to go.







Hopefully the stuff will come by the end of this week, ...damn international shipping transit times

Looking great Jordan. I know how it feels about shipping.

[thephilonator]

finaly, that took long enough.

yeah international shipping is really annoyingly slow, it took three weeks for me to get a steering bellcrank

[TDC57]

I love the smell of good money / I mean high quality parts in the morning..

Looking good Sir.. Real GOOD Jordan..

I bet your chopping at the BLOCK...

So I ask again when is "D" day sir..

And how the frick is the NECK ????? are you 100% yet ???

[plettenbergs]

REMEMBER:find a good golf course,dont get it dirty!....if the neck isn't up to it you can send it to me for break in...LOOKS GREAT JORDAN! we all want to see it run ASAP!...your truck might be as expensive as mine,lol

[jordan...]

And how the frick is the NECK ????? are you 100% yet ???

Not quite 100%, probably 85-90% though. The neck brace is off and im just getting used to using my muscles and things again. Won't be until the end of November when the spinal specialist can sign me off. Im still not allowed to play sports or go back to work yet...

Now for the bad news, i made a huge screw up I was shortening the battery wires, and one screw up led to another and as you can see, they are only about 3cm now, nowhere near long enough to get a Deans connector on. So i've ordered some more 6.5mm gold bullets and am just going to make some wire extensions. Seriously i have just about had enough of the setbacks on this truck, just one thing after another pushing 'D-day' back



I will post some updates when things get here, but im afraid it will be a week or two still until its running. maybe i shouldn't have been while doing the wires. ( i wasn't really)

[Hardstyle]

Don't feel sorry about it, I did almost the samething to my bk12020 controller. And it has 4 wires to the batterys . It was huge pita to solder 'em to one dean.

Btw nice project you have there, I love that center diff thingie

Very nice. Good job. But, absence slipper, may be a problem for motor...

[TDC57]

Hay Jordan.. PM your addy and I'll fedEX some 6.5mm plugs to you, I can get them out later today or tomorrow.. WE don’t want to wait anymore..

have a great one and WAY COOL about the NECK.. congrads..

P.S.
Maybe you should take a page from my BOOK and start drinking “heavily” & smoking (“Cough” “cough”, COUGH!). during your build process.. Just a suggestion, a thought, a new life style perhaps .

[jordan...]
