I don't mind at all. Are there any tickets left for Utah? If I went it would have to be last minute.

I got my mambas all wired up. I opened the cases and bridged the on/off switch with solder. I also removed the white motor wires. The Rx antenna is tucked into its case.





I set up my radio per Harley's thread. I'm loving it already...I can't believe I waited so long. Had some fun couch crawling, now I can't wait to get it on the rocks.

I just had the same batteries turn up in the post today!
I wired two FXR`s the other day, but those micro`s look more compact.
Whats the dimensions of two together like that?

I've never said this about a cluster of electronics before, but that's a work of art...
I am always trying to make my electronics look neat and tidy.
And it does not get any cleaner than that!

The drag brake is great. I have it on the 213% crawler mode. How do you have your radio set up? I use the button on the grip for front dig.

Together they are approx. 1.5"L x 1.1"W x 1.2"H

They are similar in size to an FXR. It's nice not dealing with capacitors though.

Got the Avid bearings in. I got the standard 5x8x2.5 for the plastic side, but I replaced the flange bearings with 5x9x3. They are about twice as strong.

Size comparison



I used a round file to reem the holes out, it doesn't take much.



All ready to go.





I did some hard digs and burns out front, and everything is running smoothly. Now I can drive with a little more peace of mind. Pretty sure I have a bad knuckle bearing. I'll check it out when I get my VP knuckles in.

Nice bit of tech gravy I like this option because I'm assuming that you don't need to mod the case or space out the motor like you do with the 5x10x4.
