What did you work on today?

Those wires on the battery cables look a bit small. What size are they?

Should be plenty. Higher S equals less current.
Report back though, my guess, you won't need fans on the motor due to significantly less heat being generated at higher voltage.

I don’t see a problem with running the fans you have them run them cool rig

I run a max4 in my other Outcast and it has the same awg power wires. Never any issues. Max5 g2 in this though so we'll see. The max4 outcast needed fans but im running 39/39 on the gearing. I went with 35/39 on this one. Ill run it soon. Let you know!

Thanks!
I definitely wanted fans either way.

Wow, Assuming the ESC's wires are 8, the ones on your battery plug look much smaller.
Nice looking chassis. Should run a long time on two 6s batteries.

[hobo]

Further mock up and test the drive train, After a rebuild and fitting the max 5 G2 1100kv combo with some new shoes, just waiting alloy centre, and bulkheads, uprights to arrive, looking at the infraction body this looks interesting and could be made to work.

'm going to test on these tracks if permitted. both should be interesting here.

I'll be testing these DXF packs that I picked up cheap, they seem to do ok on a first test on a stock truck, Anyone else tried them?

Yeah I went to one it's a 400mm track some footage of there in the outcast from entering and in and around part of the track it's also got a 2 mile track around park pretty cool, to be fair with more than enough grass on either side with some woodland areas to add, The day was cut short as the weather turned out bad in the end.

But will be returning soon hopefully on another dry day and see if we can get some 400m oval times on a few cars.

Very nice man cave

 

[Turbobrick]

Nice spot ! Having the rest working ground is half the battle when you can just leave your build as is and go back to it in the same place ... chicken dinner I'm still working day by day night by night on a kitchen worktop.

 

[fozzy71]

I am stripping down my FT > Kraton XL conversion to finally get rid of the FT bumpers and put on a K6 Wing. Also, going to start finally refilling all my 6s F/R diffs with heavier fluids.

 

[wadedog]
