Running queen but no “drive it like you stole it”

Resale is always on the mind

 

[jdebo_4]

[Ron Burgandy]

Looks good

 

[LibertyMKiii]

Love it!
Have you considered sanding and polishing the motor can? You could de-anodize the ends too I suppose.

I suspect your voltage is going to sag down further. These 1/5 scale rigs up around 90 mph pull around 17-20 kW.
Shoot a video of it when you try. The big heavy rigs are awesome at high speed.

Just swapped out with 22/30t pinion/spur.

 

[joostin420]

Pulled center transmission, swapped exb motor mount for Vitavon for more adjustable ratios. Now 22/30 pinion/spur.

Trimmed chassis side guards to be similar to my 6s.

And there's me thinking it couldn't get any better !!!!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$ OMG
At some you won't expect to get your money back or even close when selling it.
I say bash the crap out of it. That's why you beefed it up, right? Otherwise its just an expensive paper weight on the shelf.
Show boating it gently makes no sense to me. You need to break some 8s arms, or you aint having fun.
But who am I to say.....

 

[joostin420]

Carbon fiber esc mount finished which is also set up for a hobbywing max4 just in case I want to swap.

Removed castle fan. Fabricated a carbon fiber fan mount for high cfm 40mm fan hardwired to the rx.

Dude, that build is just simply freaking bananas! I love those 1.5 mod gears. I showed my nephew a pinion from my DBXL-E next to a pinion from his 2wd Slash and he couldn’t stop laughing.
Beautiful truck, man!

 

[joostin420]

testing. Had to set the brake level to 80% from default setting of 50%

 

[Pinepig]

How are those tires looking/holding up.
