Starting a build thread for 2 reasons: to cross of the last thing on my account progress list and to keep up with what I've done and am planning to do. Its pretty basic right now with just a few upgrades:
T-bone racing bumpers front and rear
T-bone racing rear mud/stone guards
Basherqueen carbon fiber shock towers and top plate
M2C shock standoffs
40mm Rocket fan on esc and motor (need a second one for the motor)
I have 3 different sets of buggy tires: JConcepts Magmas, Pro-Line Badlands, stock Katars. The Magmas are my favorite with the badlands a very close second. The Katars do great on grass but I don't care for them on dirt.
Diff fluids are 20k/100k/10k. Had been running 30k in the center until yesterday, but like the way it handles WAY better with the 100k now. Might go up to 30k up front next now that I know I like the 100k center. Stock esc/motor with 18t pinion. Running too hot now that weather is warmer, hit thermal cutoff on 6s yesterday in less than 10 minutes and it was only in the low 80s. Hoping a second fan takes care of that or I will gear back down to the 16
When I got this I was expecting to truggify it, but honestly I don't want to waste the money on that because I love the way it handles as it is. I mostly run on hard packed dirt with a little grass, little to no jumping. The way this thing powerslides through turns and launches out of them so insanely fast keeps a big fat smile on my face! No real changes to the overall setup are in store, just planning to upgrade to M2C or Basherqueen parts on things that break.
Would like to add its hard to give this thing a fair durability rating because I just don't wreck it much. I've run through a 4s and 6s pack multiple times without turning it over or running into anything. I occasionally cartwheel it for 50ft or some end over end flips, but not often. Only breakages after more than 50 packs has been one wing, the stock rear shock tower, and 1 rod end, thats it. Really happy with it.
Will add updates as I upgrade or change things!
