*do at your own risk* but I have HEARD that if you disable the BEC (no red wire on the servo leads) you can run a 3S with an external BEC

Mind you its still a gamble but its worth a shot, as for the rooster, its an ESC but a sidewinder or a mamba max kicks its butt (i have both a rooster.. and a mamba max and guess which one I run

)

Apparently this thing can only handle 2s, so i guess those 3s i bought were a waste of money, espically becuase one puffed. But i am going to run this off of GOOD 2s lipos.

Get a smart stop and put on it and run 3s.

I don't want to take any chances with it. I still have to put an external BEC on it though.

True, but guess which one costs more?

Right I know, whatever, just me though

If you look you can pick up a Sidewinder micro for cheap, not that its the "best" and I did smoke mine after a while on a 3S with a 55T but then again I call it blind luck and my crappy motor. That said, you get what you pay for, for the most part

You could always sell your body on the street. That is what I do.

I need to crawl, so im swaping the rooster out of my other crawler and putting it in this one until i get my new rooster in like a couple weeks.

Ill have pics up later.

I found this HELLA ghetto place underneath the train tracks and next to a creek where all the bums chill and is all tagged up. But its not to far from my house and its a decent spot to crawl. The only carnage i had was my upper link ripped out of the rodend.(no biggy)

skypyt · 08-29-2010, 05:36 PM

nice work!

very cool

Crawling Calvin · 08-29-2010, 05:42 PM

Looking real good

I love it how all the good rocks... are where the bums are... go figure

Found a nice wash with some wicked steep concrete to climb, only problem is the area isn't somewhere I like to spend forever in. Ran into some BB-gun toting kids and didn't get the nicest looks

That said, get some vids of the car

As i was leaving a bum was coming down with his bike, but luckily for me he was on the other side.

I just cam back from crawling again from a different spot with my friend.
So i will have more pics up in a couple minutes.

shelby · 08-29-2010, 06:04 PM

There, is that enough pics for one day?

shelby · 08-29-2010, 06:32 PM

When i was crawling today, some times my power would just shut off? Is it becuase i need a BEC?

Also, when my battery started to die it seemed like my dig servo wasn't holding up and would let the DIG shaft slide back into 2wd. Does that make sense or am i just crazy?
