MRC E-Thunder King Re-juvination

[triggeraa]

Small update while I wait for new lipos, Kyosho aluminum shocks and steel gears. I added aluminum body posts, heat sinks for the motors and vxl fans to both escs. Need to paint the JConcepts Illuzions MGT lid. Also replacing remaining phillips head screws with hexes. Having some "Twin VXL" decals made.

A few more.

Looks nice man. Gonna be a crazy 2 wheel drive setup. Should be fun to drive. Make sure you get some video of that thing.

Added the dual 11.1v 3S 20c-30c 5000mah lipos. They fit perfect. I also made a dual battery harness/connector using the pics and drawings provided by UNSLOW and Suicideneil. Thanks fellas. I should get my tranny gears late this week as well as my new shocks. The complete rig with lid came in at 11lbs and 6ozs. Once I have everything shaken out and runs smooth I will lighten the rig by a couple of pounds and see how fast she can go. I plan on using one battery (12ozs), one steering servo (2ozs), smaller wheels and high speed tires or 1/8 foams. Vids coming soon.

Almost complete. Added kyosho threaded aluminum shocks. Installed steel tranny/diff gears. Here are some pics of the MRC TK with the XTM Mammoth body I received when I purchased the roller. I have yet to paint the JConcepts body. The rig is ready to roll. Been raining all day here. I will report results as soon as I have some. I am starting a second MRC Thunder King project. This second project will be a high speed racer. Low to the ground and using all lightweight RPM arms and suspension components. All ready got all the parts.
