Man this thing is scary fast in this configuration. My buddies T-Maxx can't keep up!! If I hold one tire the opposite one (masher 2k) balloon's out to a 1/2" thick pancake!!

It's very, very difficult to steer using the same RC steering setup from my 19T setup. I'm gonna have to reduce the steering travel more to make it controllable. Speaking of control, when I disconnected the rear ESC, the front would light up the tires due to the power to weight ratio!!

The Power Pulse ESC's barely get warm, but my 3000mAH batteries only last 10 minutes when running hard and maybe 15 when run moderately.

Oh, the other thing is this setup makes you ensure you've locktightened everything you possibly can, because if you don't you're guarantee'd to loose whatever you forget to lock!!

Here are some pics of the setup, including the revised aluminum chassis with a longer "removeable" electronics tray.

The full chassis...


The electronics tray is screwed into mounts that are riveted into the chassis. I'm also using some industrial strength Velcro. According to the direction on the velcro packaging, it takes 3 days for the adhesive to cure fully!!


Some have put together some pretty fanciful custom battery holders when they built their chassis, but I went with KISS methods and used the original battery holders mounted into the original frame handles.


The new chassis weighs a full 2 oz lighter than the stock plastic chassis and is tons stronger!! I know especially after suffering a number of flips, rolls, and cartwheels during my initial 13T runs!!
