Looks amazing Brad. I love the red against carbon fiber. Setup wise what is different now from Nat's if anything?

Is there a specific reason you inverted the rear shocks and not the fronts?

Looks Bad-Ass with all that carbon and red  Are those body mounts what you need when switching to carbon? Or can you use the stock mounts? And are those the stock axial red springs? |

Thats pretty slick for a plug and play rig! So when do we see the return of Bender customs parts?

Did you narrow the NWTT Rockhammer foams? And are they #5 or #8's?

Really nice, I love the red all over it. Where did you get those shock caps?

You can still use the stock body mounts with the CF upgrade kit. I went this route to try and shave a little weight off the top of the chassis, but I don't think it saved much. The springs I am running are prototypes from Axial. The front's are 1.04 lbs/in, and the rear's are 1.43 lbs/in. They are very soft, softer then anything else I have found that is available right now. So far they work awesome. Quote:

Watching Bender and his rig is impressive to say the least. Here's a pic of his rig in action from yesterday's lunch practice session:  |

Bender, can you walk me through how you wired your BEC? I am building a kit right now with the exact same electronics, and I could use all the advice I can get with the BEC before I start to solder. Looks great by the way! Last edited by eddiepfund; 09-23-2010 at 01:53 PM. |

The easiest way is per the Castle directions. Pull the red power wire from both ESC's. Then solder the BEC + and - leads to your Deans plug coming off the ESC's or to either one of the battery terminals. Then, just plug the BEC into the battery port on your receiver. | |

If you want something different you can try soldering the wires directly to one of the "+" & "-" battery posts on the FXR's. The BEC will receive the same voltage at this location as it will directly from the Deans plug at the ESC/Battery connection. In the picture below you can see the BEC wires just long enough to solder to the FXR battery posts. In this picture the black BEC wire will solder to the post with the blue (negative) and the red BEC wire will be soldered to the post with the red (positive) on the ESC. Please ignore the ugly soldering | |
