So I finally did it. Started the latest in my speed run builds. Started with a stock 3s Typhon. First upgrade was 6s Typhon shocks. Replaced the plastic steering assembly with an aluminum one from Hot Racing. Also changed all the plastic balls in the steering links with metal ones sourced from some 6s rear turnbuckles. Needed a little grinding for proper fitment, but much less play now. Changed the servo to a DDS3225. Managed to squeeze a BLX 2050kv and a BLX 185 esc without moving the receiver box. Had to shave both mounting tabs off the esc and a post on the side wall of the chassis. The esc is only press fit for now, but won't move because it's pressed against the bearing carrier for the center shaft and the wall of the chassis. I jammed some foam between it and the motor as well. Not a permanent job, but enough to get the ball rolling on some test passes. Using two of my high power 30 x 30 fans. One on the motor, and one on the esc. Hoons Whites are the first set of tires I'll test on. 20t pinion to start on the stock 57t spur. Wish me luck.
