Got to see vertecs xr with the jp hellstorm chassis and novak m2 in action today and the chassis worked awesome flowed with the terrain and m2 worked top notch

Rebelspawn · 11-01-2010, 05:07 PM

Excellent video! Thank you for that, I appreciate it. It demonstrates the esc's capabilities much better than the Novak video of the guys just jabbering. I am gonna make sure the LHS has one of these on order for me. What radio are you using? Plan to run mine w/ a dx3e w/ a modded switch.

Very nice. I may have to look into one of those and a 4pl. As far as rear wheel weight you are a good bit heavier than I run. My rears are 5.5 grams. Rovers on SLW v3's with Nova foams.

I'm using a dx3r. Just set the proportional up last night will be fun to learn how it will help out on the rocks!

Thanks! I brought my stock wheels with rovers 2 with the weight rings and 2 with no weight going to see how the different weights work.

Tried the lighter wheels and like it a lot better. Went lighter on the front and rear now the down hills are really great this way. May add a small amount back to the front just to help it from wanting to raise one of the front wheels on side up hills. The lighter rear does help on pulling the rear around while using dig. Will just have to play with it some to get that happy medium! Have another video of the same rock as above and you can see that the lighter weight helps let it pull up on the rock. Sorry I was holding my phone upside-down and the video is that way and can't get on to Photobucket right now to try and flip it .

JonehRC · 11-02-2010, 07:22 PM

nagrom · 11-02-2010, 07:38 PM

Wish you would have got to stick around longer the more I drove with the lighter setup the more I liked it!

Plus I needed somebody to hold the phone the right way!

nagrom · 11-04-2010, 10:23 AM

Hey are your stock gears still holding up.Need to be out practicing with the m2 maybe go to the next etrc event.

lipbr302 · 11-04-2010, 10:53 AM

Where did you get that m2? And i heard that it can only handle 2s. Is that correct or can it handle 3s? Im getting a xr and im looking at what electronics to get. Thanks!

Rig Rocker · 11-04-2010, 11:19 AM

Glad I'm on a laptop so I could flip the video

You have to play around with weight to find your rigs sweet spot

My fronts weigh 16.25 oz, and rears are 11 oz

My sweet spot depending on terrain is same for front, and between 9 and 11 oz for rear

makes my complete rig 6lbs 11oz current

flapjack · 11-04-2010, 12:11 PM

what is your button setup? i am intrigued by abilities of the m2.....i run a 3r and wondered what you set your controller like

Wow I am running light. My temporary fronts are 8.5oz and my slw v3's with rovers and nova foams on the rear are 5.5 oz.
