NERO HAS ARRIVED .....I am awakened

[Julian]

Got it this afternoon - installed wheelie bar. My XT90 charger adapters for my venom dual charger have not arrived but I figured the new batteries are halfway charged so I took it out. WOW. What impressed me right away was the handling and how quiet this rig is. While we just had a rainstorm late this afternoon in Westchester NY - the cement was super slick so I had minimal traction and didn't want to have any drama. I have tightened all the screws & loctite the driveshaft grubs x4. Still waiting for the TBone front bumper and mud flaps - then its onto Nature Study woods & Davenport Park. I super glued my go pro session mount to the shell / should dry by the time I get off from work tomorrow. . I am thinking about getting the clear shell and doing my first custom shell.Anyway - will get some great footage - stay tuned. If anyone knows of a good LED set for the to two light enclosures - I would appreciate it. The front bumper blocks out the lower two unfortunately.....

Absolutely. Had no time and my xt90 charge leads are coming any day now. Also waiting on my front bumper and mud flaps. Very nice truck I must say. The motor placement really helps the turn radius and balancing. I can turn this thing almost like my HPI Sprint 2 flux. I will test out the acceleration later today on dry pavement. My camera mount will be nice and set on the shell so I will have lots of footage - will mount it each monster truck to film the other. Can't wait!!!

Thats a RedCat TRMT8E - which is really a Team Magic E6 HX III - rebranded. I upgraded it bigtime - metal gears, all diffs replaced, 6S spur gear & aluminum motor mount, Aluminum skidplates, Upgraded wheels and tires & most importantly - Hobbywing MAX8 combo - same ESC as the Nero in fact! I will let my son power that one and film the Nero later today - will post footage....
