Gorgon Ran my Gorgon with the 4000kv BL setup

[Xjeepguy]

So I just got back inside, ran out a full 5000mah 3s LiPo, and the best way I can describe it is that it’s like a chihuahua. Small and light, nimble, but always chooses ultraviolence. If I even think about going near full throttle, even though the punch is turned way down, it wheelies violently. The thing is stupid fast, and the tires I’m running suck out loud in grass and dirt. The shocks are really bouncy, but I have a fix coming for that.

The thing that impressed me most, is that I beat this thing like it owes me money, but although the body is junked, but the truck looks completely unscathed. At the end of my run, I could hold my finger on the motor without burning myself. What a great little truck!!

One thing I've noticed about the Gorgon is that all the YouTubers who've put high powered brushless systems in it are always amazed at how well it handles the power. I've never seen anyone break a drivetrain component. The only weak link seems to be the body.

You need to shoe goo that body!

I even upgraded the body and it got junked.

I ordered a new body. That one’s gonna be cool.

Not gonna lie, it’s way more fun than Arrma intended it to be. I freaking love this little truck.

Its always the ones that weren't meant to be, that is!
I think that's why I like small scale so much also.. way over powered small scale is a hilarious good time!

The only thing i broke so far is the servo saver on mine. Besides the body that tears very easily. I also can run 3s. It handles way better then expected.

Having that battery so low in the chassis just makes this thing handle so well. It’s a brilliant design, and I hate to admit it, but I e been having more fun with this little truck than my $1000+ rigs.

Sorry to be off topic (like always) but how do you like that HW esc? I was looking to buy one the other day but thought it sounded to good to be true on price

First hobbywing esc i have had for the most basic version it is pretty good and the feel is smooth. It is not a sensored system. I wanted to try hobbywing setup to see if i would like it and i do. You do need a program led box to adjust the settings on that setup. Well worth it. I think it is the perfect system for the gorgon that you can go 3s and go stupid fast for the truck. But on 3s ypu can back flip it very easily which is very cool on a 2wd druve truck. It has good air control with a 3 s lipo with a 14t pinion
For the price it performs way better then i was expecting and is super smooth for a non sensored system. It also runs very cool temps with my setup.

Awesome, sounds like just the ticket for what I was wanting it for. Thanks for the input!
Carry on!
