Build thread for my beast of a noto! I bought a roller based on a v3 platform, with these upgrades: m2c chassis, voltage hobbies towers and braces, hr servo saver, proline trencher 3.8s. Ran it on a hobbywing max 8 combo and realised the diffs were also shot.

So now it has:

1) all metal diffs (gpm diff cases front and rear, arrma centre)
2) m2c skid plates (and a chassis sticker lol);
3) fastrax servo mount;
4) new rear wing and mount, m2c wing nuts (because pretty);
5) new receiver box;
6) exb motor mount (swapped from moj which is all pps), Robinson racing diff mount (prefer pps, the RR one is very sharp);
7) new noto centre brace;
8) exb front top plate;
9) scorched parts mud guards;
10) electronics - mamba monster x, tp 4250 2100kv (bit quick maybe so pinioned down to 18 for now), jx 36kg servo, flysky bs4/it4s;
11) yeah racing motor cooler w/thermal pads, 1x40mm fan on a @suchtragedy designed 30-40mm adaptor.

Norma the Noto is a UNIT!

Thanks chap! I will wrap and shrink all the wires like I did on my moj over the weekend. Neaten it up a bit, but pretty happy :)
Those wire wraps are a pita but they sure do make the rigg look clean when you are done. I have my jx 36kg on the way for my kraton. I need to stiffin up both my savers though they both have sloppy turning atm.

I've got a 46kg which needs 12v (and a bec for it) which may end up in this noto. Even with that 36kg, there is a fair wobble at pace! Those trenchers are heavy!
 
Nice build! Ive been wanting a Noto for a while. Im thingking of converting my truggified typhon to a full noto or mini noto with mojave arms and backflip lp tires.
 
Which chassis is that? Is there a 7075 for the noto chassis. Never heard off
 
Have done a bit of work on Norma the Noto this weekend! M2c towers, rear braces and shock stand offs, "46kg" servo, roll hoop, some stickers and some self assembled, duct tape belted badlands 3.8s. The oversized trenchers were just comical cookie cutters and I had little control. Let's see how these bad boys do!

I wouldn't go with gpm diff case. Poor design. You have to do a little bit of work to get the diffs out. It's not just the 4 screws like normal. I have them on my noto. And wish I would just went with HR. But she looks tuff man. Nice build.
