First of all, thanks to Harley and the RCC community for all the hard work and great info. I have taken a lot, from all of the hard work of others. I am not trying to get any credit just posting, as would any proud father.
It's been a while, but I recently got back in the game. Picked up a Wraith kit and robbed my shafty, installed a Brood hand wound 35t motor, micro mamba pro esc and JR 9100T. All the locals in my hood are running Scale so here we go.
First impression was good, ran 40 some gates had a great time but there was room for improvement. Weight bias was probably the biggest area for improvement. There were a couple of areas in the course that were straight winching zones. So I challanged my self and here we go.

Parts list:
VP Currie axles front and rear
VP Hard-pan kit
VP VVD axle set
VP Lockers
VP 10 piece Stage 1 kit
Fast Eddie bearing kit
RcBros Knuckle weights
HeyOK 4 amp winch controller
KMS servo winch 180oz
VP KMC XD-795 Black 2.2 Wheels
2.2 proline swampers
Crawler Innovations DD 5.5 foams
BGR front trail bar
BGR v1 rear bumper
RC4WD inner fenders
Gmade XD 103mm shocks

I'm sure I have forgot some thing, here's some pics

Did you make those inner fender wells or was that a purchased piece?

mccarsones · 11-12-2013, 05:35 PM

RC4WD on the fenders, I made the back floor and battery tray.

Just got conformation that my bomb proof tranny is shipping today, guess I will pull the brood and make way for the ROC 412 3100 and Mamba max Pro. Out with old and in with the new

mccarsones · 11-14-2013, 04:25 PM

I could not resist, Install the MMP and ROC 412 3100kv to test sensitivity, throttle curve and general feel of the bottom end ect. I like it

. Just took it a little to far and smoked the tranny

. Pretty sure it is the idler gear, I will look into it this evening and report back.

mccarsones · 11-15-2013, 06:43 PM

Idler gear gone, but I got an replacement

. Got to get the bucket lites wired, ROC waterproofed and new tranny plugged in.

Tmaxxed · 11-15-2013, 07:16 PM

Yes, Harleys method is what I used on the motor a little different on the esc and receiver. I used 3m liquid tape on the electronics I have had a can for years now and it's never failed me yet. Thanks.

Tmaxxed · 11-15-2013, 08:14 PM

Ok thanks. I should probably waterproof my pro4 in mine. Winters coming!

mccarsones · 11-27-2013, 09:06 PM

Got this last week, will set it up tonite and hopefully get some runnin on this thing tomorrow while the Bird get's smoked. Started another build for my 5 year old, he ran the bully crawler but wants a scaler

Mr Hyde · 11-27-2013, 11:13 PM

Wow this rog is sweet now all u need is to run a micro processor on it lol, this thing is crazy. Realy liking the build can't wait to see a vid on how it handles. Wanted to get those axles but I may cry after I scratch em up.

kdhill · 11-27-2013, 11:42 PM

Very nice setup you have going. I really like the remote for the lights. Went on amazon and found it. Here is a link if anyone is interested.

wow..
loving everything but specially this lights, Im all DIY (whenever I can) so Im pretty interested in this light mod, can you point me out which led ribbon did you use and how to cut it ?

I have basic electronics and soldering skills so I think I can do it, I just never knew about this led ribbons before.

I basic schematic of your light system connections would be awesome
