lol yea not long in my opinion. We are gonna try it then when he blows it he can have my 5700. Then im getting the vxl.

And evaderkid, i have both. I painted one set (if you use the right paint it sticks well) and then i have a set off all front for the wide conversion that are the vxl black ones. I will get some pictures of my pede tomorrow and upload them if i can. Its dirty so it looks cool.

Heres a couple of our beaters. The maxx is a beater to but mostly stock and not fun. To slow and burnt right now lol oops.

fusebmx13

oh oh oh sorry for the triple post but if you look at the chassis on the close up on the rustler you will see a white residue. Can anyone tell me why this is like this? i know but can you guys tell? lol it has something to do with boomboombatteries and there batteries constanty venting and leaking. OOOPPSS darn to much of a hint. [X(]

hahahahahaha. who says a clod doesn't make for a good basher? LOL the clod was a basher before most of the folks on this board were born. don't get me wrong,all out speed is fun in some cases,just not accross my back yard.LOL. i don't know about most of you guys, but there ain't an R/C manufacturer out there that can make a truck that will survive my backyard at 65mph!!!! just my 2 pennys...............

Well here is my car, I don't bash with it though, I am trying to get better at racing (I am having very slow progress). [&o]
I cut a hole in the body right in the body right above the ESC so when I get a cooling fan it can suck cool air through that vent, I am not sure if it will work. I run it on 11.1v 4500mah lipos.

Tell your brother to clean that battery dust, off AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! It will eat the chassis for lunch! Unless it has done so.......

Nice Rustler djangomangalam! How much does it way with all that Aluminum?

djangomangalam

My Feedback: (8)

I don't know exactly, but it is definitely heavier then if I had it stock. I am glad I don't have the aluminum diff case, that would REALLY weigh it down.

fusebmx13

yea it is a lot more than stock. He doesnt have the extended one but he has the towers and arms so its probably a little more if not equal to ours. They are heavy. But handle so great.
Do you race with talons? lol thats your problem.

Yea Krawlin the dog is still holding up lol haha.

djangomangalam

My Feedback: (8)

Nope I haven't raced with them yet. I though they would help handling? Should I put the stock ones back on?

SlashBasher

My Feedback: (8)

both are horrible for that....if its hard packed get some pro-line holeshots or losi pink tapper pins

djangomangalam

My Feedback: (8)

OK, thanks for the info. Should I remove the front ribbed tires also and replace them?

Always Dreamin

yeah.

fuse, what is your gearing with your CM36 motor?

Always Dreamin

btw, fuse, nice jato shafts.

you will love the vxl motor, you can gear it up, and run 3s. on 2s it should run pretty cool. i run 2s but they are proteks and the motor still runs cool. i'm geared 25/86 with dirt hawgs, and 23/86 with talons. that's geared for off road.

SlashBasher

My Feedback: (8)

ummmmmmm. you dont have to but if they are the stock tires you better off getting 2.2 wheels instead of 2.8...and yea i would replace them but thats just me[8D][&:]

Always Dreamin

the only advantage 2.2 has is that their is more of a tire selection. as far as looks go, that's up to you. i would recommend some pro-line tires on some RPM wheels.

i always buy the white wheels from RPM, they are dyable, and they don't scratch up like those chrome finishes do. i took mine, and filled a pot of warm water with black rit dye. IMO, it turned out sick. they are on dirt hawg tires.

SlashBasher

My Feedback: (8)

those did turn out sick.. what temps are you getting with the vxl and did the futaba 3pm stop any cogging.

Always Dreamin

my motor runs at 160F, esc at 120F. the 3pm stops glitching, not cogging. even so, the vxl is fine on cheap AM radios.

SlashBasher

My Feedback: (8)

does your system cog cuz mine cogs horribly whenits starting off more than 20 ft from me[]

Revotrx3

Hey everyone! I've kinda been outta rc for a bit, i put em in my room for awhile, i had a grass drag sled to build, and more sled to work on, but im doing from a Evader EXT Chassis build, im starting with the chassis and starting up, so give me ideas

fusebmx13

Aghgghhh dont ask lol. It runs hot!!!
I usually gear is at 18/90 and it has tons of torque and power. Its perfect on that. But if i have a 19 it sucks and if i have a 16 it sux. I dont know what to do. AD do you always strip spur gears? cause im afraid of that. I seam to have found the perfect point with my motor were it doesnt strip and it runs fine. But the down side is the motor temps. [&o]

I got my maxamps 2s today. The 6000mah. Lasts forever lol.

fusebmx13

LOL thanks the jato shafts are pretty nice too. Im going to install them on my brother's rustler also. While i was at it i installed the vxl yokes cause i have never replaced my stockers lol.

Krawlin

Big news.....


Got my Align 600XL, fan, BEC, and pinion.....

Everything is installed. Motor works (just did a test without the pinion, had it spool up to 1/4 throttle), fan works, BEC works, and everything seems to be just fine.

I am currently charging my batteries, and updating the Mamba Max. Then I am going to calibrate it to the radio and I will be ready to go.

I lost the SD card for my camera so I wont have pictures for a while, but as soon as I get a new SD card, I will get pics of the full setup and probably a video of it in action.
