Got the truck finished,
found the stock tires to be very heavy and I didn't like the look of them, so came across a brand new set of kyosho mega force tires on ebay got the 4 for £7,
had to cut the opening larger as they were too tight on the rim,
used the stock monster pirate receiver box to house the esc in,
relocated it on top of the steering plate,
cut the side out and removed the lid to help with cooling,
Got a New v2 trackstar 150a esc,
soldered the wires to it and bench ran the truck, the esc worked as it should, but when I touched the steering the esc kept turning off,
i made myself a glitch buster, installed it and all bench testing worked perfectly,
trucks going for its first burst out tomorrow, I think it's going to be an animal lol
