Status: offline 		cost about £110 plus shipping, about the same as a new Mi2, which i think are still available in certain places.. would make a nice addition to your collection for sure.

i have a dilema with the wires, out of the Mamba Max ESC i have brown/orange/red wires, which colour should be on the left (into the RX) and what channel does it go into?

Status: offline 		mission complete! the zip tie job was a nightmare, there was only one place big enough for the ESC and that meant lots of wire crossing the belt..

one last thing i found pretty odd, most of the upgrade parts, hub carriers, servo link, motor heatsink, etc also had their plastic counterparts in the box also, a nice little touch for the clumsy driver!

full testing will be done tomorrow, new cells (IB4200) and TX are charging..

Status: offline 		How comes you never fit the red belt Lee? Looks sweet either way mate; superb chassis. It has really sweet handling, because it has a short wheelbase. Enjoy!

What are your plans for the TA03 Blue belt? I am very interested if you want to sell/trade for parts....

Chris.

Status: offline 		like i said, if you see something you want, its yours, i will PM you the ebay link, as you probably wont believe how much it cost!

also, i will see if i get any 'scrubbage' then if there is, only the black belt is knackered..

Status: offline 		just took it out for a test drive, all i can say is "wow!" this thing rips! the motor gets warm, but i have some pinions on the way, just in case! 18t/19t/20t/21t (stock is 23t)

need a better way of securing the RX, might mount it next to the servo, cogging was slightly noticable, but i'm gonna read up on how to sort that, run time was 15 minutes plus, and with still some left in it! only got about 10 minutes with the Novak 4.5, but i didnt have IB4200's back then
