I never posted pictures of the electronics after it was finished. I want to shorten the wiring and do a little reorganization now that I have more time. I may try and build a tray that allows for lower battery mounting. There is a lot of unused room down there. |

One other thing that really worked out well was my modified VP knuckle weights. Also running the lower half of a quarter inch ring on them. Painted black for stealth reasons, and the brake rotor hides them on the wheel side very well. |

Are you running vented wheels, tires or not vented at all?

I disassembled the motor and dipped the boards with Corrosion X. I left them out over night and then reassembled. I shot video on this process but have not finished editing it together yet. I misspoke during it and that is bugging me. So I am not 100% sure how I am going to finish it up. | |

You need to stop messing around. Your ultimate G6 machine is missing a key ingredient. |

Right now, I think I'm staying with the dependability. I really thought about the IFS, I love the styling, but the front shaft questions just kept popping in my head. Plus after driving my Twin Hammers I was just a little underwhelmed with the performance. Granted I don't think the benchmark is all that great. I think as far as the speeds that are realistic for me though (being able to run behind it) I wouldn't see enough Pros to out weigh the Cons. If I was doing more of the Terra X where I could stand in one spot I think it would be an easier call. | |

You've been under a rock, haven't you? The Twin Hammers is nothing like these rigs. You might as well be trying to base the performance of these things against the CC01. "I was underwhelmed with the IFS on CC01 so I decided not to put IFS on my Wraith" These things dominate a Terra-X. I just wish VP would get the Exo VVDs on the market already. I ripped through ~600 gates in the G6 and ran two heats in the Terra-X before breaking a wheel axle in the main after two repeated bad landings. Based on the amount of abuse I gave this thing in such a short amount of time, I'm not worried about front shafts too much, but I would like to go to VP units. | |

I think sticking with the solid axle is cool. Don't go mainstream. Keep it original and build it the way you want to Sent from my PG86100 with Tapatalk 2 I <3 Tekin |

I just still don't see the big G6 advantage when we are looking at a medium run/jog speed (especially @ my crippled speed). The Terra X is where I see them killing it in comparison. I don't know that the Exo VVD's will ever hit the market, but I'd like to see the option come around as well. For now, I have put the idea of the IFS to the side. This setup worked too well on all the areas where it needed to to think about needing a change along those lines. | |
