That's a 1st for me, I've never seen an axle shaft twisted around like that before, nice job

Meant to ask, what temps of the motor after running it around ?

[willipmartinni]

150deg f. tops, the fan on the speed control comes on occasionally but usually doesnt run long. since these motors are supposed to go out and give there all for a long race there really isnt an occasion to max them out in these trucks. In second gear you really have to choose your moment to pull the trigger cause its on. The videos dont really do it justice. "Ballistic" is a good term.

That good to hear.

Ballistic land missile.

Trying to kill the slop in the summit transmission. This is the backside of the two output gears that have been machined so the drive tangs aren't having to travel the nearly 180 degrees that the other side of the gear provides. I believe they will still hold up. we will see wont we.

Great video and great truck ya got my vote for sure. I do have a question though about the full throttle assaults however. My truck which also has the summit and brush less combo always wants to swap ends like yours seemed to do? Any idea what causes that,im thinking tires maybe?

[willipmartinni]

Lots of reasons;
Foams, look at the big truggys that use this much power, the foams are closed cell, zero growth so the shape of the tire stays more controlled.
shock setup the shocks we run are long travel nice and soft, not at all like a road race car with huge spring rates and stiff valving.
sway bars would be a huge help also in just keeping the truck running flat.
Its always the fact you have to tune for your environment.
But for now, The high speed, break em if ya got em runs are purely for entertainment!!! Yeah

[willipmartinni]
