el_Fernando's NorCal basher!

[el_Fernando]

So many nice Wraiths man it's a little intimidating to post up my own stuff. Anyhoo, got this already built kit from another forum back in early May. Taking my time and reading and learning about all the stuff you all are doing.

Here it is right after I applied the FreQe skinz and ARB diff covers:





Then I added Motorworx Racing 10-hole beadies w/ RC4WD Intercos





Sloooooooooow build man. More to come. I have Vanquish Stage 1 kit and Ti links coming in the mail today

[el_Fernando]

Delivery today!

How do you like the motoworx wheels? I want that exact style for mine, it's the dropping of $130 for wheels that are gonna get torn up that gets me.

Johnnysplits these wheels are the sh!ts man. My first time buying into some nice scaler-type beadlocs. They are beautiful... I can sit and stare at em' for like 20 mins straight. They mounted up super easy on the tire and set in perfectly into the rig. I felt that if I was going to make a splash I would go all in with these. I like that you even get the centercap to make a complete setup. BTW, they just released some 8-spoke wheels that are real nice.

I have the same motoworx wheels and I love them,well worth the money compaired to some other wheels. They hold a bead very well.

Installed the VP goodies. Ti links all around. Chubs, knuckles and rear lockouts too. Still gotta do some adjustments to the steering linkage.Now just waiting for my HH BR-XL to come. Still undecided on motor though.

Mucho ecologico pancho mucho ecologico!

That tire and wheel combo looks killer!

[el_Fernando]

Gracias Marauder!

I just picked up a few HH TrailMaster sport motors. For that cheap a price I'll run em' till they burn! I figure I'd run a 56 spur and 12 pinion while running 3s lipos.

I can't wait to see this rig in one of your videos. Please upload one soon. Saludos!

I like the wheels! Do they increase your wheelbase width much?

Not too much man. They are much taller than the stocker wheels though. Gives way better clearance. They are softer than the stocker tires so I know they will make for better basher tires.

The wheels are sick man. They were super simple to mount up and they came with everything you need. Check out cephas here on the wheel porn threads. Dude has all the Motoworx flavors!

Sooooo my HK cheapo Yihua soldering iron crapped out on me. Eh... 15 bucks and it lasted 7 months I guess it was worth it. Now I have me a Hakko fx888d!!! This will last me until I need social security!

I did get to solder up the motor leads to the motor though. Now just need to do up the ESC and BEC and I can install all this shite and get rolling!

[el_Fernando]

Bye bye cheapo soldering iron! Hello Hakko sweetness. Now I only slightly suck at soldering.



Got everything all soldered and connected up. Next is installing all the electros into the rig then swapping out the pinion/spur to the 32p setup I have.
