Yea we are looking into redesigning the the hubs the two cars we have both cracked where the ball stud screws into.
Also that topplate were kicking the idea around of making that thicker out of CF and wider so its easier to mount electronics

dont forget a gear cover.... i have tested the truck on a track with a 28mm brushless motor (permax 400/4d) and the thing handles very well... it just doesnt stay together in one piece

I am still working on getting some shock towers made out of 6al-4v titanium. This should solve any issues with both bending of the stock ones and weight issues. It is just taking a bit of time....

Cool! Stuff for the XTM rage as well. DP, post your ideas for that truck on this thread: XTM is making a mini!!!!!. Just so people don't get confused on parts. A c.f. upper deck would be cool. I'm sure they would sell. Once again delrin arms would be the first option I would buy for the Rage. Anyways, I'll keep my xtm rage suggestions on the correct thread from now on.

Jae you used to recommend the permax 400 / 4D motor but is 2.3mm just as good as the 3.2mm or would you say more problems?

Get the 3.2 if you can. 2.3 pinions are often weak. 2.3 will work, but if you can get the 3.2. 3.2 is standard.

Anyone know how good the new novak mongoose will be? Will it be better than a Neu/Parmax? Got any links to good info on it?

the neu... i think not.. your comparing a super torque monster with high kv with a smaller but very smooth motor..

God......

Lots of studying!!!

I do watch tourettes guy a lot though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myB_8UPTGBQ Don't feel sorry for him, he does have tourettes, but it doesn't make him do that. It's the alcohol. My favorite one: Dad, Do we have any eggnogg left? Your mother's the one who dicks with the egg nog, not me!

But yes, Jae knows how many minutes of running each part on the vendetta will last.

Here is my experience with the vendetta. I have a brushless system in it. (would have my neu in it, but it broke before I got the Neu)
I broke: front body mounts, wing mount, front diff pinion, and motor mount after I drove into the curb at full speed. I can still use the mount, but now I need to use the spacers.

I can get aluminum body mounts, steel diff gears are coming out soon, the motor mount can still be run, all that I think needs to be improved is the wing mount. I think aluminum would do. Is this how your guys' wing mounts broke?

Sounds like you tried to break it.

I was jumping into grass when I broke mine.

I have a quark 33a esc and it gets pretty hot. (With the junky walkera motor) The plastic case is loose, so would it maybe stay cooler if I take off the plastic case and put heatshrink around it and put the heatsink back on?

Frozen: happy 2500th post!

That is what 10-15 ft jumps will do to a car.

They actually weren't that big. I couldn't get a straight run at the ramp at full speed. maybe 8-10ft.

I will get a second vendetta roller and put all the good parts in one and make the other one a friend driver/extreme basher where I will do some huge jumps.

I drilled holes in the broken mount and put some bolts in the holes. I havent driven it yet due to broken diff pinion, but I'll tell you how it holds. Looks rock solid.
