Connect the edf to your CH3 and release the extra thrust when you need that little bit extra; so yours can go to eleven!?

Yeah, but this one goes to 12! LOL

Got the screen mesh on the front and mounted well enough for testing...seems to do fine driving around my neighborhood, we'll see how it really holds up this weekend

 

[NewSensei]

I had a light bar but as you can see all that is left are the mounting posts. It got broken when I accidentally rammed a tree at speed

So... I needed something more flexible and unintentionally got something not only physically flexible but also flexible with light colors! Found this USB set that comes with WAY more light than I needed but most importantly it has a driver that is not only USB powered but remote powered too! AND, if I decide to I can expand the length easily. Going to power it off a USB power block that I will mount inside somehow...will figure that part out once I get the power block. Anyhow, only had to drill one small hole to pass the wire through then I smothered it in hot glue to protect the side I soldered and hold the cable in place but also so I could more easily remove it in the future should I need to. Was going to use shoe goo but that holds too well

Also and as well: I think I might be able to use the battery pack to run my edf too... we'll see

Ok, that's cool! Never would have thought about using flexible led strips.

Has the added benefit of looking cool lit or off ...and it flexes a lot so maybe I can lawn dart and still have lights? We shall see

 

[NewSensei]

Wanted to show off these neat lights.

I am going to have to look for a solution to do he lights but most importantly do the Knight Rider red sweep. I will need to find a way to make the sound too.

Had no idea there weren't words in the intro in the first season... this'll be stuck in your head

Hey did you have to modify the rpm front bumper at all to fit the rear?

Hey did you have to modify the rpm front bumper at all to fit the rear?

Nope, just took out the screws and put the RPM bumper in place (didn't remove anything when installing the RPM bumper on the front or back).

 

[NewSensei]

Thanks to @Doom! for helping me finish the look of my Kraton! These stickers were perfect!

Thanks again brother!

Hey did you have to modify the rpm front bumper at all to fit the rear?

No modifications needed other than removing the fins on the bottom so I could mount the stainless skid plates and I had to put 20mm long screws in the very front because the stock screws were too short with all the extra plastic and stainless steel. Other than that it goes on with existing holes.

@Doom! Really cool you can make custom decals! Any change your business open for future requests?? Can You make all sizes?

 

[Doom!]

Glad I could help @NewSensei

@Doom! Really cool you can make custom decals! Any change your business open for future requests?? Can You make all sizes?

I can do a few here and there, size is not an issue. Time is my only problem, sometimes I can squeeze some in, but finding time to do them is tricky so it is hit and miss depending on my schedule. It never hurts to ask.

Wanted to throw out an update,couple of months of running with an EDF for cooling off the receiver and so far it is handling it great...in case y'all wanted to know

So the EDF cooling overall is a win it sounds like? What about running one pointed at the motor instead of dedicated motor fans?
