Default just got it, build thread time

so after a week i got my stuff! it was in the customs for a day so i knew i would pay taxes (15% here)

now i have to admit that i understand what the hype is all about!! I just started my build and the parts come together nicelly!

the 2 FXR's combo looks good too! but i forgot to buy the hotwire :(

nothing too fancy so far, it's just a bone stock XR10 which will have soon the rc4wd delrin bearing carrier.
i received the 4 roover (i wanted a set of soft but i made a mistake and received the extra soft)

i got 3 packs of 3s 910mah, light and small

Intrested to see how these ESC hook up. I have done it in the past with two motors but I honestly for the life of me can not remember how to do it. well with one ESC anyways.

it's a bluebird high torque digital, i got this about a year ago and it was 80$ or so but now you can get them at hobbyking for about 50$

But I think that this servo will go in jammin scrt10 for racing and I will put the Jr 9100t that i have here

i just replaced the servo for the jr 9100t as i said i would. also i started the ESC wiring job... i am not really good at it and i don't have a good soldering iron so it makes things a bit harder..

however i don't like having 2 wires from each ESC that go to the dean plug, so i used on on each side that goes to both negative and both positive connectors on the ESC's
