Sweet ride!

ORIGINAL: bossman2u

OK, here`s mine.
I`m on my third ESC (not counting the original brushed unit) first was a venom 80a which was wicked fast but got destroyed in a crash....yes a crash, seond esc was HK80a which fried 15 seconds into it`s first run? Now I have a HK 100a esc, no-name 5900 brushless motor, 5000mah 3s zippy battery. I have made the following modifications:
wheelie bar
ECX metal tranny gear set
cut out rear guard to install heat sink and small fan
add another heat sink to the front of the motor and install the large fan from the HK80esc
traxxas vxl heavy duty axles
did the gorilla tape anti tire balooning mod
gearing is 23/87 (prob need to go down to a 19t pinion, static testing with the 23t seems fine as far as temps but I havent really road tested it yet.)

Just got the heat sinks and fans wired up and ready to run but it`s raining right now so I guess I`ll have to wait and see how fast she goes, should be a rocket.







I like the 57 chevy truck body better but I think the torment body will be more aerodynamic.
