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!!!
