Wow Nice job. Just change the wheels for looks? Are you gonna use both of them or just have one for parts?


Just swapped them onto my other truck so I could run it at the track since there is a lot of loose dirt.

I will use it in it's stock form. I installed a lipo cut-off so I can run my batteries in it. If I need parts I will rob them from it and obviously it will be un-drivable. When the parts are readily available I will set it up to race and then have a working drivable truck for who ever else is with me at the time.




I am new to this not that I am going to run lipo anytime soon where you do get a lipo cut off and how do you install it? Just wondering if it would be worth my time. Right now I am still just running crappy nimh (real crappy I mean).


Her is the link. Lipo makes the factory truck pretty close to a rocket.

Now that you will have it going faster you will want to be able to control it so an upgraded servo and horn. Also look at new rear tires to help you get all your new power to the ground. I also have the T-Bone Racing front and rear bumpers and they are quite nice. They will save your parts from those bad landings and hits you will eventually encounter.

As for the slipper Im not sure. It could have been from it slipping a lot and it half melted or it could have been from water. I havent had that problem with mine.

Status: offline 		man i just orderd mine friday and really need to find a way to use some losi or ae wheels instead on the overpriced hpi wheels. but hpi uses a hex for their wheels. it adds to durability but can make it a small pain to get wheels for. im a racer not a basher and it really pained me to buy a rtr LOL but my lipo/brushless will find its way in it. and probley gonna drop the mula and get the option shocks. i really wish this rig came as an ss kit also i really bought this to try out the gear style rear diff as all the racers around here rebuild their ball diffs alot with lipo/brushless. plus hpi makes great stuff and i like to be different im new to this electrice scene and have been a hardcore gas racer for years now but since tracks are gonna allow lipo/brushless at races all over i decided to try it it just seems like alot less overall maintenece as im really burnt on nitro. but anyway has anybody tried any different type of wheels? mabey taking off the hexes and using the pins? i dont know just need some help with wheels.
