If anyone is interested in cool running no thermal cut off insane performance from their Kraton EXB this is it. Standing wheelies with a double pump of the throttle at full speed. I'm guessing 70+ MPH but haven't tested it. All Rick Bobby knows is its fast and makes me curse! Here are my costs as well so you know what you're getting into. This is a list from starting with nothing.
My Project costs:
469.99 Kraton EXB
69.95 Traxxas Tool Kit
139.95 Reefs Raw 500 Servo (Insane waterproof programable torque)
27.99 Work Stand
150.00 G.e.n.s Ace Bashing Series 6800mAh 22.2V 120C 6S1P Lipo Battery Pack (120C! Heavy but awesome) (Annoying that I have to be creative so this algorithm doesn't say gens-ace-r-spam Spammers when I post the thread. This should be changed forum admins.
11.95 RPM Mamba ESC Cage (Only used the switch holder, the rest won't fit in the 6s)
10.99 IC5 Connectors
300.00 Castle Mamba X8s/1520-1650KV Motor/ESC Combo (No thermal cutoff after using whole battery at top speed, low KV means cooler temps and more torque. High pinion tooth count for speed)
16.99 20Tooth Mod1 Arrma Pinion Gear (Great speed/torque balance)
10.00 Solder Labor (My irons are in storage in a different state )
10.49 IC5 Extension Cable
12.99 Lipo Safety Sack
149.99 Lipo Charger
7.70 300mm Sensor Wire
54.99 SR315 D Receiver
121.12 DX5c Transmitter only (Got a deal on Amazon)
3.98 Velcro Cable Ties
7.90 3M double sided 8” Sheet (Use 3M 5952 VHB tape) It's better than screws. Had to shave down the lip on the plastic mount to fit Mamba X8s.
11.00 Castle B-Link (For in the field adjustments on my iPhone. Allows for cheaper receiver and transmitter. I only use a 3 channel receiver which also gives a AUX channel for a specific function you use often to be programmed to a button on the transmitter like throttle speed if you want to hand off to someone who is inexperienced with the power.)
