| And that was only the start of what I did to this thing. Today was very brutal on the truck. I am trying to find the chain of weak links when you put way to much HP under the........well interior I guess technically.

"water resistant" sounds more like it. Cant wait to see what the custom master will add to this sweet rig.

The LHS got in two VXL systems today, I was pretty happy The install was fairly painless, only problem was that motor shaft was too long. I cut it down and everything else pretty much fell into place. The only thing you need to note is where the motor wires are. You need to rotate the motor so that the wires are as close to the output as possible. This was the beginning of the end... |

So a combination of a MaxAmps 5250 3s Lipo and the Traxxas VXL system ended the trucks run quite early today. First victim was a knuckle. This was my fault There was still some water in the tires from yesterday and the rig landed on its roof. I "squeezed" the throttle trying to correct the rollover and ended up snapping the knuckle off. |

Luckily I had my spare parts from my XR10 build and threw a stock plastic knuckle back on. More bad news followed. The VXL has tons of power and the Ripsaws hook a little too well evidently. Something in the transmission has let go on me, not sure what gear it is but it isn't good Also, I noticed that I have put a very considerable twist into the driveshaft. This picture shows both the Cause and Effect |

I forgot to show where I had to relocate the ESC. It wouldn't fit in the stock location so I moved it to the rear. This also helped me get rid of that funky power wire going right through that awesome interior! There is a ton of clearance in this area for the dig servo Axial plans on. You can just barely see it peaking in the corner. The wires need to be zip tied up a little better still. |

| I don't know that I would call a VXL motor stupid power, but I guess it's relative to the stock equipment.
