If I do anything I may add the al shock caps that traxxas sells. That said I knocked the lower front arm of the crt.5 tonight, but I was driving blind in the dark!

I do believe we have some things in common. LOL

I got so anxious to play with my Revo the other night but it was dark.

I have a quantity of those 9 LED flashlights. You know the ones that take the 3 AAA cells?

I strapped two of those flashlights to the front bumper bracket and made headlights.

It worked. I was able to enjoy my run and have my fun for the day. Was probably freaking the neighbors out a little though. LOL

I have a few of those. We actually took on and strapped it to my mini lst (crap by the way) and slowly drove it around the vacant lot across the street. A bunch of people saw the light moving around and could not figure out what it was. I was hiding behind a bush, so they did not see me. Great fun, especially when one person went after it, good thing it was brushless, and good for 30mph, or he may have caught it!

Any Progress as of late?

I'm a little curious as to how well those diffs are going to hold up.

I want a 20XL also... I couldn't find them on ebay... you lucky guy...

lincpimp · 01.20.2008, 11:42 PM

I have only ever seen this one 20xl motor for sale.

I would personally like to see any of the xl motors above the 14xl. They look like a great alternative to the higher end motors. I have had great success with the lower kv l can motors on 5s and higher. I can only imagine how well the lower kv xl motors will work. It seems like their design and constuction shortcomings are amplified less by higher voltage. I am guessing they work better with less current running through them.

Sike, I will use a rc monster heatsink/clamp on the motor, I have a feeling that will do enough.

Oh, and about those connectors. I have decided to just hard wire my motors. I have plenty of motors and speed controllers so I just hardwire them up and they work better, or at least they do not develop problems later on. Had too many issues with the 4mm connectors, and the 5.5mm connectors are too big, and look funny, just my asthetic side talking there!

bumpy, hows this project coming along man?

lincpimp · 03.03.2008, 04:43 PM

Very slowly, I finished up the hyper7 buggy. I also had to move the rc repair station to my upstairs rc lair!

So I should be able to finish up everything quicker now that I have more room and do not have to clean it up every night!

I intend to get the hv tmaxx wired up and test it soon, and then make the battery trays and esc mount.

Plus I just got the brake linkage and lever last week, damn lhs taking their time!

Pulled the diffs out and had them in a BPP torpedo for a while, recently decided that the topedo chassis and his brother would make a better platform for the 6x6 Maxx so I am in the process of swapping the front and rear assemblies onto a 3905 chassis with the better tranny and a center diff.

So basically the diff, bulks, and arms will be reused. I still have the tmaxx chassis w/custom extension and the spare torpedo braces hanging around. Maybe I will do something with them?

Also stole the motor mount to go on the 4-tec. And the radio box is somewhere else too...

I guess I aborted it. The GP esc was used in the hv savage for a while, but I plan to sell it off and maybe get another Lutach hv esc.

r/c life begins as soon as the first two parts are mated together. I'm normally not controversial, but I'm pro r/c, and I have to say something about this.

an aborted project is an r/c that never got a chance to bash.

i need to go to my quiet spot and journal...........

BrianG · 04.30.2009, 05:10 PM

lol, R/C abortion? What's the next topic of controversial discussion; R/C politics, R/C euthanasia?

nitrostarter · 04.30.2009, 05:21 PM

Nah, none of those BrianG, but I do think my Jammin is coming down with R/C Swine Flu... she's actin funny...
