G3R Buildup Pics

Your truck looks sweet!! On mounting the mmm where the second servo would go...it is too big. It will be in harms way if you mount it there, just my .02$ worth. Can't wait to see a vid of that on 6s...it is gonna scream...

I decided that I couldn’t wait anymore. You know, they could sell out. I just bought the Tekno Neu 2.5D/f. I can’t wait to get my hands on it!

On a side note… this motor is more expensive than my first hobby grade RC. It better be the most awesome of all awesomeness.

Does anybody know if this motor still needs a rear endbell cover?

Sealed can= no endbell cover.

Hi everyone! I took a few shots of my baby last night when I was installing the latest Castle Link software. For the time being I am using some old Maxamps 2s 6000mah lipos. Next spring I plan on purchasing some Trackpower 3s 4900mah 25c lipos. Right now I get about a hour of run time with the 4s setup. I am starting to not like the RPM stuff. It is way, way too flexible. The rear arms flex so much that I have popped the drive shaft out of the cup several times. One time was from a dead stand still. I mashed the throttle to do a wheelie and the shaft popped out. I was also jumping the truck on a small jump (the smallest that I have) the truck landed on the left front wheel and pulled the pillow ball thru the hub carrier. I was looking at the Flextek arms and the new Revo hubs, if I get them it would be after I get the batteries. I can’t wait to switch it over to 6s! Then we will see some carnage! Anyways... here she is. Thanks for looking!



I used a lighter to heat up the antenna tube to bend it. The Receiver is sitting on a leftover piece of Lexan from the body. The MMM is sitting on a plate that I designed in AutoCAD (I have attached a 1:1 drawing of the plate; It may need some tweaks to fit). I used the Gorillamaxx ESC mounting post with a few washers to help support it. I used 3mm cone washers where the top deck connects to the “X” braces. I hate the counter sunk crap, especially when it isn’t needed.



I didn’t like how high the body sits on the chassis. So I shaved the crap out of body posts. That wasn’t low enough so I re-drilled the mounts and shaved some more. Bumpers? We don’t need no stinking bumpers!



I ended up switching over to P3 rockers. My girlfriend bough them for me as a surprise. She is the best!!!
