it's the same setup as industrial grade robotics ESC's use (i'm in First robotics, aka FRC)

Thanks for the input. I do know about that and Atomicmods use to sell a fan and fan mount for xmods. It doesn't really need it because the motor will only race a strip for a few seconds at any given time, it would just be extra wieght and clutter. Also even if I wanted to use it, the body limits the space for it. It just wouldn't fit. Thanks for the suggestions.

i agree with you.. all it would do is weigh you down and take up power that could be used to kick butt in a drag race...

*** UPDATE ***

Well, I decided to try to drop the servo a bit more. I was still hitting the body just a little itty bit, so I droppped it another 1/8". Still need a new PCB though rrrrrrrrrr.

how can you do pcb with that much voltage? don't you need to go hobby grade?

also, those tires seem a bit plasticy to me. are you gonna put better tires on, like wide mini zs?

you need to put these badboys under that vette body if you want some real slicks

The plan is to use different tires, but I haven't got any good ones yet (we talked about that earlier on in the thread) Maybe I'll try those ones SPR posted. I haven't really decided yet.

I can't use those. I need to use 1/24 scale tires. Xmod are to small (1/28)

[kendallcschm]

oh :-( too bad.. those are some good tires...

[nw~hummer]

wow.. how did i miss this thread?? awesome build!! keep it up

[XMDrifter]

how about finding scraps of rubber, and melting it, then pouring into a mold?
like rubber bands melted into a solid soft tire. and it can be as thick as you please to hold up with all the power

[amorton94]

eww, burnt rubber band smells band, especially if its used and dirty. i say go with the tires spr suggested, they look awesome!

Thanks for all the rubber band meltting suggestions. To much work and don't know that I have a tire mold. lol.

Anyway you wanted an update. I got 3 RV mini-z 2wd PCBs yesterday, so I will be puttin this thing together. Also throwing in the V2.2 to regulate all this crazy power. Check back soon.

[kendallcschm]

[himynamebebrian]
