Brushless Virus/hyper 7 Buggy/truggy build

thanks, very charming

in my point of view, it's not about just buying expensive stuff. I want to find a - working - solution by myself. besides bashing, that's what it's about.

Looks good! And just in case you were curious those wheels/tires are from the Onfa Blazer SST stadium truck :)

I have a set and they are nice (but yes the foams are very soft). What foams did you put in place of the ones in there? Its an odd sized tire so I couldnt think of any other foams I could squeeze in there.

hey,

thanks! yes, I was wondering, I think I have seen them once on an ofna. the tires are great. I realy like them, the're not that massive like truggy wheels, and the rubber is quite hard, which I like. nowadays the tires are so soft, no good for brushless, because it's like shaving the wheels... whith those wheels I have more ground clearence.

u just need some wheel hub extensions (eg. ofna) and I got myself some better foam, a bit bigger and harder then the ones inside. just go to a spezialised shop, which is selling foams and get it cut into the proper pieces. works great. when you glue the foam into one piece, cut the ends diagonally, then glue them.

I finally had to get some new wheels, the wheel-hub hex of on tire got "round". maybe I can fix it.

As I don't have an esc at the moment, I do some work on the cables and plugs. I've put the receiver under the epoxy-bar in the front, aside the ubec. it's pretty tight, but it works. at the moment there's only the fan.

Some of the batteries have new cables, the old ones were pretty poor. the blue caps are for the receiver, dunno where to put it yet.. the Motor-fans are new. the old wones worked for over a year.
