Some of you guys might remember me. I got out of xmods and into these. I built this myself. 3/16 solid rod mig welded. Running Tlt axles with all the goodies. It's gonna have a Mamba Max esc, 11.1 lipo,Hitec 645 servo, and a 55 turn lathe motor. Billet rims and Moabs tires.

Nice, did you build it, is it hand crafted???

Nice job on it What about elecs, servo motor, ETC...

LOL

Dude really, that thing is sweeeet!!
Hmmm if you don't mind me asking, but why 11.1v lipo with a 55t?
Why not 7.4v on the 55T, to calm things down?

Awesome run times. Also I got a good deal on a pair of batteries! LOL. Can crawl as slow as you want. The Mamba Max esc is awesome!

**** dude, nice craftsmanship on that thing, how much total travel are you getting out of the suspension roughly? cant wait to see this beast in action

I will post up some flex shots later. Thanks for the compliments.

If you're running a brushless ESC why not run a lower kV brushless outrunner motor? You'd have more powerband with that low kV brushless motor than you would with a 55T brushed motor.

I run the same HS-645MG in my Axial, you'll love that servo. Tons of torque and not a slow speed at all for the amount of power.

Good luck. I like the chassis design.

Some poser shots! Djking I probably have about 6 hours in fabbing the chassis and links. Donzii the Mamba Max is for brushed or brushless motors and from what I have read the brushed motor delivers smoother power for a crawler setup. I may try a brushless if I find a good deal on one, but the 55t does everything I want. If you read the box it says brushed or brushless on it. I should get some more flex when my tranny and electrics are in it, if not I am going to try some softer springs.
