Congrats! Might want to obscure that tracking number. Some evil fukker might try and scam you out of your shipment.

Pic before the build. Not going crazy, just a few items to start.

Will be interesting to see your impression.
BTW, JRC just got a bunch of my hard earned cash no thanks to the enablers here, including you.
Gonna use my V1 Kraton chassis to build out a V2 OC. I'll be using the Max8 combo from the Sketer. Body, wing and, bumpers are next if everything lines up.

Motor in and setup. Also finished the servo and Kimbrough servo saver, not shown in the pic. Motor is tight, but fits.

So no different than the old outcast. Meaning, space available... lol

Very nice looking rig! Is the slipper any different at all? I mean besides the sleeve they put over the rear hub…

The hubs look a little thicker at the splines. It may be, or could be just me.

How many pads in the slipper now?

Same. 4 of them. I think the hubs are the same. They list them as the same part number. I don't know if it was updated, but it's OK. Have a 7075 hub set on order.
I will say the steering and front end is MUCH tighter than previous 3s/4s rigs I have had. Almost no play or slop.
Also this thing is going to steer well now. Using the Kimbrough 124 HD servo saver and the 35kg servo, bench testing I pushed the bumper down to compress the shocks and tested the steering, still had full steering sitting still with front compressed.

All electronics in. Not much room to spare with this motor and ESC.

But don't complain about breakages if you directly overpower the car.
More fun, but also more time and money needed for repairs.
If you go directly for so much power - a 6s vehicle wouldnt be a bad choice.

Haha. Have plenty of 6s rigs also. I don't complain when they break, just improve.

 

[HZRDOS]

It is about finding a balance to get an overpowered lightweight rig that handles, but can also handle the power.

She is ready to rip.

I like the new diff design how the main gear attaches to the cup. Seems easier to line up for reassembly. Also these gears look stout. I sure hope they changed the material on the internal output shaft gears. Will see how they hold up. Went 50k front and rear.

Guess this is the largest can you can get in there. Almost hits the center drive shaft. Will have to figure out a way to get a fan on this motor.

Also added a few plastic rivet clips to the roof for skid protection as I know I will be doing plenty of wheels up sliding.

Second pic looks like a pair some sort of medieval pizza cutters or something. .

JK Nice build !

Plastic rivet pins, clever idea!!!

I suspect those internals never changed. If anyone will find out, it's gonna be you.

Are the beefier crown and pinion gears are made of a softer metal? Though I saw that somewhere. Pricing seems better compared to the older ones.

Here's the older setup. I like the beveled edge on the new style gear. Definitely more meat too!

Yeah the plastic rivet pins are cheap. Got a 100 pack for like $6. Drill some holes and pop them in. When they wear down, takes a few seconds to pop them out and put in a new one.
