Default My new Wrangler Rubicon :)

Got my new car in the mail today and after the first test run on stock setup and 2s lipo I found out 2 of the shocks are leaking oil.

So i quickly replaced them with some losi shocks i had laying around.
They are abit bigger and a little longer but it looks like they are working fine for now

Also trew on some 2.2 tires on proline bedlock rims and i really think it looks awsome





Do anyone know why the truck leans back to the right every time i hit the throttle?
And is there a way to prevent it?

Torque twist. You can mirror the transmission to help with this - I did it during my kit build so I never got to experience it on my Dingo. My sons Rubicon RTR does it a little though.

Trucks looking good. Just a heads up the Mamba Max Pro ESC has a fully adjustable BEC.

Yeah i know it has a bec. But I don't think it is as powerful as an external bec is it?

At the moment i am going back to original motor. My old torque master just wont run smooth :( So I am going to order a sensored brushless today

I know mine is set at 6V and can go way higher then that. I have never had an issue. Any input from anyone else?

So after alot of adjustment and part swapping i finally got the car just how i wanted it 35turn motor is just perfect for me Got speed when i need it and can crawl super slow
The powerful servo is also a must! Just an all incredible rc car I will upload a lot of pictures within the next few days Need to get it painted first.

Only thing left to "fix" is the back of the car has alot of movement left/right when i hit the throttle. dunno if thats normal or if I have done something wrong ^^
