My ECRT.5 Build

Just picked up this Jammin .5 tonight. Got a roller with bk bars indoor tires, and another set with I believe they were dirt hawgs or something along those lines. Cant remember, also cam with a body but I need a new one. It has the Blue Groove Conversion on it already. It needs to be cleaned up but I only gave $35 for all of it so I figured what the hell I aint out much.

Im planning to use a Sidewinder and probably the traxxas brushless motor on 3s. I have heard the traxxas motor on 3 cell is a pretty good setup.

lucky bastard

You got a great deal.

Yea, I figured I wasnt getting hurt to bad.

Looks good. Damn you got a great deal!!!

Holey Mackrel. I just threw a Mamba max and that old 2770kv motor I had no idea on what brand it was on it and on 3 cell it is slam nasty. You can be 3/4 throttle going about wide open and give it full throttle and it will stand straight up. Even in the wet grass. I just got it all put together about an hour ago and its dark now so I didnt get to play with it much. Its to dark. Ill have some pics and maybe a vid tomorrow.

Oh yea. The 1/8th scale wheels and tires work awesome on it.

Well here are a few pics with the elctronics on. Video will have to wair since my laptop took a shit and all the programs and junk are on it. Not sure when Ill have it back.

Well anywho I put a Mamba Max ESC, 3 cell lipo, and some 2770kv brushless motor that I have no clue what it is. All I know is that on 3 cell it is more then enough. Will flip over at nothing. Also through on a Hitec 645mg servo for now. It works pretty good on it.

Cut down your motor leads.

I did. I cut them to that length. I dont want them too short. Its fine like they are. It doesnt have a whole lot od slack in them.

Hey man, don't worry about the criticism. BL_RVO has a wiring fetish... Or maybe it's OCD... Everyone's wiring just has to be perfect.

I like how the mount uses the nitro spot and how you flipped the servo. Very unique.

Looks nice...all you need now is Mike's extended chassis kit!

Thats how the Blue Groove chassis conversion comes. It uses a full size servo and everything. So far I like it pretty good how it is all laid out.

I do like clean wiring. I have a project in its design phase that will have absolutely no visible wires.
