Installed CMS and panhard.....and new servo horn.

LEDs finaly showed up, time to get my 6 pack roof together.

Also picked up a 11.1 lipo since I installed a BEC. Holy smokes that 13.5 will cook on 3S

having the weirdest issue. At low speed when crawling my electronics will reset. I can run it wide open as much as I want and it's fine. Only low speed stuff. Tried a new reciever and 3 different BECs, different batteries etc. so weird. Is 14/55 too high to crawl with?

Running a Tekin RS on a 13.5

I always find myself in this situation. Scale event friday night and I have tonight (Thursday) to get my rig finished up. still have to wire my LEDs and install a different motor my 13.5 is suspect. Damn EXO Terra is a distraction!

Yep Like the EXO though it nothing special. It's pretty easy to do. You should pick one up and give it a try.

details on the LED install. I have to thank DinkyRC and BCracing for the assistance on learning this stuff.

I picked up a variety pack of 1/4 watt resisters at Radio Shack for 7 bucks. I'm running two 3 led series which is then run in parallel for the most efficient amp draw. Each series has a 100 ohm resister which I hook straight to a 11.1v pack.

I found this site helpfull for designing an led array.

Finally got around to installing my Mamba Max Pro. My Tekin RS developed a weird issue. It would stall under slow speeds. But I could wail on it all I wanted. Anyway it seems to run brushed motors just fine so I'll probabaly put it in my drift car or something.

VP has really outdone themselves on these. Nice job guys! Give the Wraith a "Finished" look!

You take off enough parts and you have a pile of stock parts. Wraith #2 is my next project.
