Are these any good?

[Marko]

So I got really lucky and a nice person gave me a Team Associated rc8te kit. I'm pretty new to the hobby but I have my work cut out for me in putting this thing together.

In the box included the electronics. Are these any good? Is this motor 6s capable? Seems like these components are high quality.

You have some very good quality parts there, made by/for reputable companies.

Must be a pretty good friend!

Nice!. Why were you given that?

 

[Brandon]

You have good friends.

That's good to know!

Some guy started small talk as I was bashing with my Kraton at a park. He then mentioned he had this rc someone gave him and it was just too much for him to deal with and saw that I was into it so he asked if I wanted it.

I didn't even know exactly what he was offering but now I see that it was top quality and I really lucked out. What a really nice dude.

So this setup is 6s compatible?

 

[jkflow]

Yes, 6S compatible, the 25V indicates voltage and 6s (6*4.2=25.2V)

It's obsolete but still a good package. If it still works it will be a lot of fun.

FYI, if that's the Mamba Monster v1, it's not waterproof like the MM2/MMX are.

Damn, Just noticed that Hyperion DUO too! You got a nice $1300- $1400 package there with all that!

If it were mine, I'd get the diffs and shocks set up and done first. First KIT timers should always follow the directions that come in the kit. Mainly so you learn the parts, how and why they go in each place.

Will do. I'll keep you guys posted.

 

[arrmadillo]

Lucky dog you! ??

 

[Marko]

Differentials and shocks all set up and oil added. Moving on to the steering and front section now.

@Marko I could write about how lucky you are in a paragraph but I’m too tired to do so. Essentially you just opened a barn door and found a brand new 1970 426 hemi V8 on a jackstand in the RC world. That’s really the easiest way to describe it.

I'm coming to realize this with all the input. I promise I'll make the best of my good fortune. Working on this kit is already helping me to understand the parts that go into these things. It's awesome.
