so obviously the gen2 bec is robust enough to run the servo and the led kit..

So far I haven't had any issues. I want to power my LEDs separate though and set the BEC to 7.4V, my LED controller will only take 6V.

thanks ty

Took the JK out for a drive last week...

looks like you got a little buried in the soft stuff

Great photo.

New logo we introduced this year. Got some fun things coming out!

[fr8cture]

Must be pretty soon then huh? The end is near for this year.

[Ty@Tekin]

Well the logo rolled out with the new GEN3 motor we recently released info on. Just updating our look to go along with the new stuff I can't say much about yet...

are you confident in waterproofing the BL stuff or would you stick with the brushed if there is a chance the motor will go under water?

It can be done, CorrosionX seems to work well on the sensor PCBs in the motors and keeping the ESC in a box works good for splash resistance. I'd never drive under water on purpose though, I always try to keep water crossings scale to the rigs. I like to keep my stuff running.

Thanks. I new to the crawling stuff and all I hear is water proof and brushed. I would rather run BL and if I can stay BL and not worry about it just "in case" it gets wet.

I don't plan on driving under water, but from what I understand with the g6's you never know what you may come across.

Ty this is a very nice build. I like it in aspects you did some hand made and then some bought and you mixed it all together. I want to do a build very similar to this. I already have the tekin electronics we so we good there ��, now all I need is the jk body. Anyway I am thinking now you need to build or buy you an off road trailer, with the same wheels/tires and then I will be very jealous and want to buy your setup lol. Very nice man can't wait to see videos.

Can the rs gen2 run the roc412 with no issues? I thought the rx8 was needed to run it.

I've been running an RSG2 in this rig since the beginning, no issues. You'll likely want a BEC module or run the servo off a battery.

I have almost same setup. But RSG1. Would you mind posting your settings in the esc? I'm having trouble mostly with start up not being smooth.
