i think i need to dail down some of the articulation

good idea"thumbsup" looks like a great comp rig though good job man

[gigercreeper]

not yet still need some upgraded motors and esc the stock motors arnt bad but. they fade hard and fast i bought some e-flight heat sinks cured that problem and they were way cheep i think i spent under 8 bucks

Great looking rig!! So did you get the Mamba working or is that the stock electronics? Before I had the mamba in my CC I did the single battery mod and used my lipo, that will certainly liven up the motors.

Andrew

also added springs in the rear and inverted the shocks and move the link forward 1 hole

Great looking rig, so what is the wheel base? On the stock ESC, the "b2" positive and negative power the BEC, so use those and you can have just one pack to run. You need to short the B1 wires to get power to the motor.

BTW do you have any more of those East Coast Hydro stickers?

Andrew

[gigercreeper]

12in axel to axel stock width. they are Green Coast Hydro and Green Coast MotherF*****. not east coast. i have tons of both
