depends on how cheap it is and how well if works for you, and what not. Make yours and tell me how awesome it is.

For bashing, there isn't any problems at all. The only thing I can think of for it being a problem would be if it got tweaked real bad and it stayed like that. But beings you make your own chassis, you have nothing to worry about. Also beings that you make your own, you can see what works and what doesn't and make improvements to future layouts. Oh yeah, I'm really digging that tranny mod too, I didn't even notice it until Brainanator mentioned it... I'm sure there is a night and day difference in how it handles now. Keep up the good work!

gave it a run on the road. seems to heat up alo faster than normal. both esc and motor? ideas why?

Zero369

I'm guessing your motor is running in reverse timing beings you switched the motor around. When you flip a tranny, you have to set up your motor for it to run forward and not backwards even though you truck is going forward... does that make sense at all?

does it weigh more than stock? That'd heat it up, and like Zero369 said, if your motor had been broken in in the other direction it might heat up more...but for brushless I'm not sure.

Zero369

Oh, its brushless? Hmmm, plot thickens lol.

I know with brushed motors, you have turn the end bell 180 degrees to get a neutral timing so it can work like normal.

ill reprogram it with the motor revesred and see.

edit: well it wouldnt let me, i changed the timing down to 5 and it stays nice and cool.

Zero369

Do you still get nice speed and torque like before?

Ray

crushgear64

i think i lost about 1mph.
maybe gained a tad bit of torque.

i can get this thing to wheelie with an extended reverse tranny without over tightening the slipper and changing the shocks to realy hard. that surprises me.

stay away from them curbs! lol

Zero369

No no no Brian, don't you know the curbs hit you; you don't hit the curbs?! That's what always happened to me anyways, I would be driving then all of a sudden a curb would reach and hit me LOL.

Ray

crushgear64

Zero369

ROFL Exactly!!! LOL!!!
