I am converting to a rustler. It is not right that i have broken my truck in half 3 times in 2 weeks. I have gone through 3 chassis in a matter of 5 runs. Not right
.
Nice rpm stuff. I wonder how long that tranny is gonna last. lol
Oh yea, i also just ordered one of these with my friend. We got 2 total. 50 bucks each after shipping. Better than the 100 at radio shack, and these have better range.

Do those record video or are they just meant for live feed only?

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
It is live feed but comes with a cord to hook it up to your real camera and you can record it. I think there might be a way to use SD cards also, not sure yet. Not to much info on them, I will just find out the hard way.
Broke my slash today but fixed it with a stock part my friend had. I broke the rear carrier. I am going to get some of the red aluminum ones traxxas has. And my plan starts to unfold.....
I was going 45 today and pulling away from the car i was in with the slash
to dark to go any faster, I was out running the van hahaha. If i went any faster I would go out of sight of the headlights lol.

Rc18mt build. Bought it stock, bought gold front springs, green slime (for the 0-rings), fuel tubing for the dog bones, and a wing/mount.

That is stock bashing, I don't have any up yet of the brushless double backflips.

Looks great, but flip those shocks over!
And I like the look of it with the wing. Gotta love the truggy look. [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
And get some video of it with the BL system!
Nice truck though, glad to have a nice 1/18 build in here.
Fuse, what ever happened to your RC18?

Geared 14/60 I just hit 176 on the can... NO BUENO...
Thanks Chris.
I will flip the shocks for sure once I get my new ones. (3racing)
Thinking I should gear down some...

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
I don't know why yours is getting so hot. Mine never got hot. Maybe it is your esc or something. I was gearing way higher than you with the settings turned way up and never had issues. Although I was using the 5400 with smaller tires.

AD, go LiPo and gear down, should be fine then.

I would say either measure the stock pack and find a 2s that is equal or close to those dimensions. Or just ask in the mini thread .

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
Now I need a bunch of parts lol. I need aluminum bearing carriers for the slash, body mounts, and the tires that should be here soon. For the pede i need all the stuff to make it a rusty. And for the other trucks, they are not getting anything until I figure out what i want to do with all my other junk. Just to many loose ends to tie up.

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
It is a team associated rc18t that i added the wing to. It has the 18b mounts, detta carbon fiber wing, MIP super diffs front and rear, steel diff gears and output gears, aluminum bones, steel turnbuckles, rpm bumper, dirthawgs on proline yellow rims, FT shocks, gold springs in front, carbon fiber battery strap, and a GH stearing belcrank assembly. All of the electronics are upgraded, usually has a sidewinde rmicro with 5400 motor using 3s in it but i was using that in the mini baja. It has some other stuff but I probably forgot something.

RE: The Beater Builds Thread
My tires are at my house right now hopefully. I am at school right now but I checked the tracking number and it arrived in my area at 4:30 this morning. So that means it should be at my house.
I will try to mount them up today and take a few pics.
