Did I miss what ESC you had? That a max5 or max6?

Quite a rig!

For some reason, I thought you abhorred RPM arms. Maybe that was just the 3S arms? or someone else...

I forgot to list the ESC. I just edited my post. It's a Hobbywing Max6.

I'm not the RPM arm hater, lol ? That's @jondilly1974 or @slick2500

Only on the 3s because they warp, my 6s arms have been much better and are over 2 years old.

 

[jondilly1974]

You call them RPM arms. I call them RPM noodles because you have to boil them before use.

That's quite a massive list of upgrades. Have you broken anything on it since upgrading?

Hey bicketybam brother i didn’t see a name listed for that rig,...how about WARPIG!!!!

I've broken the gearboxes. But that was before the M2C rear shock tower brace. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

Here is the video:

On my HR front chassis brace, I drilled and tapped the front hole for the M4 screw. Worked great. You could do that to your HR brace for another rig.

I have either Voltage or M2C on my others. The HR brace is the worst of the lot. Their aluminum is not very good. I'll probably just keep this as a spare or for another build.

Will it have a tree detector?

How about a chainsaw bumper instead? Just turn that feature off at the BMX track ??‍
