Alright, it’s at the point where I call it a build!
Fireteam my buddy was selling and floated me a 200 dollar price after I helped him get his Limitless going. I like the stock body but weight is kinda high. Saw some guys on here throwing Limitless bodies on them and I am a buggy boy so I got right on it! Kraton 6S wing on an RPM mount, super basher front bumper with @3d-rc.myshopify.com bumper support, and diff fluids changed to 60f/500c/30r. Pulled the running boards and put on Mojave side skirts and slid the battery tray back while things were apart. Body is mounted with Fireteam’s front mount and Kraton rear mounts. Body does sit a little higher than I’d like but leaves good clearance for larger hardcase batteries and room for fans to breathe. Lowering it would require more trimming up front for steering links and arms so I’m just living with it.
Paint turned out gorgeous, especially for my first tape and spray attempt.
By this time I’d run a few packs through it and the stock motor and esc are great but there were a couple things I missed from my other small rigs. Kept an eye out and caught a Castle combo on sale!
MMX8S and 1717-1650kv fit in beautifully even with handbrake. I’m leaving it for now, cool little party trick. Still needs wires tucked a little better and a longer sensor wire but it’s already got a few packs through it and man did it come alive with the drivetrain upgrade! Definitely more things I want to add as the budget allows and as things break!
Size comparison next to my buggy converted Traxxas Slash. This is my first Arrma and my first 6S off road rig and I am thoroughly impressed. Seems well engineered, lots of aftermarket support, and tons of parts cross over between models in the 6S platform which is amazing from a customizing standpoint. Questions, thoughts, and suggestions are all welcome!
