Alittle more down on her. OK, here are some pics, and took her out for a little test run (no mud yet)....:sht: Used an axial trans instead (metal gears and hd outputs) and vxl, ran really well.   'bout ready for paint!!  Probably gonna change the electronics mount, didn't come out as I had planned, too tall for one..  |

Those motors are not waterproof, took mine apart because it wasn't spinning real smooth, had water and alittle dirt in it, cleaned it out, put dielectric grease on both ends and sealed it with the liquid elec tape, also put dielectric grease in the unused motor mount holes and arounf the front bearing, seams to have worked so far. | |
