Looking good man!


How are you finding those shocks?

[mszymanski25]

Are those rock sliders something that you had previously? I am ordering a JK kit and I want to mount some batteries to them, but they are out of stock everywhere. Just wondering if there is a place I can order them from.

Nice jk. How are those tires working so far?

[Shinjari]

Yeah those twin hammer tires any good for slow crawling?

[juttsvw]

Shocks feel alot like the RC4wd king shocks. Little bouncy but strong enough to hold the frame from hitting the axle.

The side rock rails I got from rc4wd about 2 weeks ago. Alot of things are sold out that I want!!

Twin Hammer tires. Well they are a little stiff. Really wouldn't suggest for hardcore crawling. The foam needs trimmed out for that. Tire compound seems to be good. I mainly use my truck for trailing in the woods rather then crawling.

Anyother questions please feel free.

The interior is the same because it was a RTR truck not a kit. I just bought the hardtop and painted it to match.

Can you please post up a small review of the SV3+4600kv combo when you get it installed? Looking for some input before I buy.

Once I got the combo in the mail, I installed it in my 2wd slash to bash around a bit till i decide to put it in the JK. From what I could tell in the slash, seems to be a great system. Looking forward to being in the crawler soon.

It seems like a nice combo, great price, and waterproof. I'm hoping I can gear it down for decent low end torque without too much cogging. If not, the sv3 will run a brushed motor too.

[juttsvw]

Thinking I might just keep this SV3 combo in my Slash and pickup another one for the Jeep. System doesn't get hot after 3 packs running hard.








Heres the other Beast i'm working on

Just ordered the RC4WD Bulldog 9300XT Wireless Winch. Do yo guys wire the controller box right to the ESC power or do you guys get a Y harness?

There are options, but I'd probably just run it right off your battery pack.

I see you have a 6-cell NiMH pack, and the specs say it can operate on 7-cell, so you won't quite see it's full potential. Another option is to get a CC BEC and run both the winch and your steering servo off of it. This option would be best if you were running 2 or 3s Lipo and a high voltage steering servo with the BEC set to 7.4V. Finally, you can get a small 2s Lipo if you'd like to give the winch it's own dedicated power supply. That's probably only a viable option if you already have a Lipo-compatible charger.

What I wouldn't do is run it off of the ESC as to not overload its internal BEC.
