The day she arrived. Fresh out of the box and the last time she will ever be this clean and shiny.
I promptly installed the electronics below:
- HobbyWing Max6 ESC
- HobbyWing 4985SL 1650kv motor
- Annimos 35Kg HV Servo
- Futaba T4PM transmitter
- Futaba R304SB 4-channel receiver
- Zeee 8000mah 3s batteries x2
- Robinson Racing 20t pinion
First mod was to reinforce the underside of the body. I laid down the drywall tape one strip at a time and used some hot glue on the corners to keep it in place. Once the whole body was covered I added a very generous amount of loctite power grab clear. I would dump a pile on the body and then spread it out by hand. I used the caulking gun sized tube of loctite. This made it much easier to dispense.
These next photos is what she looked like after running 3 sets of batteries during her first bash!
As you can see in the photo below, the rear of the chassis was getting pretty beat up. That led to my second mod which is the M2C Racing rear skid plate. The website said this wouldn't fit the stock EXB chassis, but it ended up fitting perfectly. Not sure if the v2 EXB chassis is different than the v1.
Overall this EXB is holding up great. The Max6 combo makes this truck a monster and I have a hard time keeping it on all four wheels. I’m currently dealing with a heat issue on the ESC. I’ve ordered a motor heat sink, fans, and a smaller 18t pinion to see if that helps.
