[Kcaz25]

That looks sooo good.

This is nearly exactly what mine truck would have been if I didn't find that mutant chassis.

The black and silver looks stunning.

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Agreed ... it's looking really good... nice work man...

Makes me miss my FLM chassis.
Looks good.
Maybe should sell my G2 chassis and go back.

[Maxxrickard]

Yes it is.

If the hex feels sloppy on the axle shaft, you can try wrapping some aluminium tape around the shaft to remove the slop, seen alot of people doing this on their traxxas summits since the larger/heavier wheels make the slop more apparent..

Thanks Neil.

Why did my lipocontacts explode?
-I took my truck for a 2 min ride, not in topspeed just 2 metersruns.
-I disconnect two motor wires and the lipo contacts, with my esc still ON.
When I connect the lipo wires,PANG!! The 5.5 mm bullet contacts is very very broken.
My question is why? Did it happend because the esc was on?
What to do? I have order new lipo.

[suicideneil]

You must never disconnect or try to connect a motor when the esc is powered up, you must ALWAYS turn it off before making wiring changes- was the motor still partially disconnected when you plugged in the lipos? If it was, then the esc tried to make the motor chime ( the musical tones come from the motor phases ) but couldnt, resulting some kind of short circuit or massive current discharge.

Now you need to order some new bullet connectors to replace the damaged ones- you might be able to salvage the lipos, depends if they are swollen, and where the damage occurred ( you can easily re-attach wires to the metal cell tabs if they melted off )- pictures?
