| Re: DMG Thug Chassis based build....
The battery came in today and I must say I am impressed with the HH brushless trail master motor! The 3s 60c 3300 lipo I got makes this thing come alive!  It is pretty impressive on 2s though  The brake/drag brake is much stronger than my ROC 412 3100kv and my redline 13.5 motors... going to try this out more nov 2 at the NWI TTC annual comp. I just need to get the beeftubes in the front axle before then, they are supposed to be in this saturday |
