No, actually by a custom big motor mount conversion kit by stupid rc!

Interesting mod for sure.
I gather from the pics you’re going to stack two 6S batteries in that tray yes?

You own plenty of Arrma rigs I see. Were you not comfortable doing the mods on your own? I don’t know if I could trust anyone else doing that stuff for me.....I’m funny that way.

Have you put this thread in Build Log section?......get that badge dude.

cheers,

@KevinC actually no this is my first rc ever lol! But honestly yes, I could of done it myself but unfortunately I do not have all the tools needed at the moment so I had them do it for me because their builders are awesome and do an amazing job I have seen lots of their work so I was fine with it! its a pretty nice price tag too smh but worth it. From now on tho yes I will be doing everything on my own after this haha. Two 6s batteries stacked up that's correct, I only have 4S one's right now so i'll have to get some 6S one's asap and I will post this in the build section now thanks for the heads up!

@Niz55 I actually don't right now but if you go look up stupidrc.com you will find them there and all the other dope mods and stuff that they have!

So for your 1st RC ever you thought it would be a great idea to go with a 1/5 scale, 30lb. machine, on 12s, with custom work, a $hit load of money, and no driving experience?
I think for your 1st run you should go to a crowded playground in between a fuel depot on 1 side and a fireworks factory on the other while holding a lit flare hitting a 3 foot ramp at a 45° at full speed!!
Lmao!!!!

Well, I was thinking the same thing but I didn’t want to poop at a party.
Paul....you better be gawdamned careful with this rig. I hate to be preachy (I’m a noob too). My two cents.......look where you are driving before you drive your rig in that direction, use wide open spaces without TREES, CURBS and most importantl, PEOPLE.

Good luck bro. This is a lot of rig and will most likely be a missile.

cheers,

Yea I know buddy thanks haha. I had a jlb cheetah 4S before this one but the thing is garbage I still have it but i broke a suspension arm and blew the motor (cheap Chinese crap) I have parts to put it together to make it more durable but I'm giving it to my son when he gets older, so instead of paying a load of money to keep fixing it I just went all out! You want the best stuff, you will have to pay the money for it, you want garbage and to penny pinch, you will get exactly that, GARBAGE lol! So yea, I have some experience under my belt no worries haha it was a much better investment. @KevinC
