That's what happened to me with RC planes...trust me when I say they need a lot more space! I am trying to pace myself with my Rc cars but it's tough. I have been whittling down my airforce so I can have more parking spaces.

Lol no free parts. I’m just an average Joe like all you guys. As far as how much I spent, I prefer to never leave proof of that for my better half to find. She knows it’s a lot, but the actual number would be a problem.

Ain't that the truth!

Got quite a few extra 660 fmj's, with some 750 beer cans in the foreground if you have a hungry fiddy...

We'd all spend less money if we were hardcore gambling addicts..

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

The MAX6 w/ EzRUN 4986 1650kv fits like a my underwear. Nice and snug without any tears or mods necessary.

Any larger of a motor and you'd have problems.

Basically any HOBBYWING 5XXX motors would need new mounts or mods IMO.

HOBBYWING MOTOR NUMBERS are basically its size.

HW EzRUN 4986 = 49mm(diameter) × 86mm(length)

Time for an update. I decided to purchase a @HotdogCustoms carbon fiber chassis for the EXB. I can easily bend the EXB stock chassis by hand. I have been running the Radical UK bashing bar, which is very thick and cannot likely be bent, but does add quite a bit of weight. Time to make this thing as light as a butterfly, sting like a bee! Total weight without a lipo is 12lb 5oz.

Mods done today:
@HotdogCustoms Kraton EXB/V5 chassis eBay Store Link
@Basherqueen F/R Shock Towers, Ackerman, & Steering Top Plate Link
Hot Raching Servo Mount HR Link (Stripped out screw in EXB mount)

@jondilly1974 You know if you keep getting heavy rigs your going to have to start wearing Hockey Goalie gear just in case.

Man that is so sweet, I really wanted one of hdc chassis for the talion build but couldn't justify $85 shipping!.

How's it handle now in comparison?

Haven’t ran it yet. Days are getting shorter. Might have time this weekend to charge a pack and test it out.

JD, you back to bashing? I might do the same. Wrecked the Infraction pretty bad today at 111mph. Not getting enough downforce on the rear end. Ready to put the fast cars up for the winter! Really wanted to get the Infraction over 140mph, but can't keep it on the road.

Kraton looks great!

Thanks buddy. I would love to have time to bash but don’t know when that will come. Hoping it’s soon tho.
