Stopped by the LHS and picked up a new Castle Mamba X to go with the Castle 1410-3800kv motor in my Senton. I got home and charged a 2s and a 3s battery while I installed it. Calibrated the esc and set the punch to 30% (this is like a 7 in the BLX185). I never got to run my new badlands because the old castle esc died a minute into run after I installed them. So this was testing the new tires and the new esc.
The truck ran fine on 2s, albeit slow for my tastes. I ran it for about 10 minutes and decided to put the 3s battery in. That sure woke it up and it pulled its very first wheelie. I then decided to do a few jumps. The truck was launching, about as far as my Kraton. So I figured I see if it could do a backflip. Here you go ?
Truck took a decent beating as you will see. The skid plate finally broke at the end. I have a spare so it’s no biggie. Finally this truck is fun ?
