I have to say that it was a blast building Kleo. As some may already know, this build was with my pup Kai in mind. It was all about building a fast, durable and reliable RC. The project started with a Notorious V5 RTR. Took the RC out with the pup and this dog was able to cash up to it without issues. Let me be clear, Kai is a 50% Boxer 50% Amstaff with a drive of gold. This pup will go after anything and destroy it. So, the Notorious and the wheeling and the overheating with bigger pinions, everything had to go. Got the Kraton 6s LWB chassis and tried a few motors with the Spektrum 160a ESC until landing on the 1250kv with a 30/50 gear ratio. Yes, I did tried the 1717 1650kv by Castle and it was overheating with a 21000rpm fan mounted. The setup feel comfortable to drive for me the way it is now and most important, the pup is not even close to catching this beast. I posted a link to a video with the pup at the local beach and it was just epic, loved it.
PS: Still have not find the body mount extensions since I want to keep the Notorious body. I do have it secured, but it will be great to do it the right way. Any tips on where to find them is welcomed and appreciated. Thank you in advance.
