I think I have found a use for this thing.

Do you have to run a body on a FOFF rig?

If not I just need some paddles and a new shock setup

I was running mine with a velineon vxl setup and paddles. It worked really well. A bunch of mods for better handling on the sand was all it took.

Sweet, its already running a 500 puller on the stock tranny but I may swap it out for an axial trans.

What sort of mods did you do to it?

KC_JoNeS · 03-23-2011, 02:34 AM

yeah, switch it to something like a Mamba Max and 4600kV motor....it would rip!

I've been thinking about using some R1 axles on a go fast truck... are the shock mounts on the axle really high? will you use shorter shocks?

Highlucks · 03-24-2011, 10:50 PM

They are quite high and the shocks ar quite long at long extension. I will aim for links parallel to the ground with a sprung set up.

Hey guys with size being an issue in the R1 How do you think this motor speedy combo would go?

VXL3m ESC, TRAM3375
Velineon 380 Brushless Motor, TRAC3371

johnnyh66 · 03-29-2011, 09:28 AM

The 380 is the 1:16 motor. It's a wildcat in my Mini E-Revo... but the MERV doesn't weigh much. I don't think you'll get the power to weight ratio you want in a 1:10 truck.

BTW, in the US the product number is TRX3371, all the Traxxas parts start with TRX.

Thanks man I just copied what was listed on the bay.

Any one else have some input on this combo and application?

It's a 380 size motor........................it won't work.

Cheers, Can you suggest a possible alternative for a transmission area with not much room. the 500 puller is a squeeze, if there was not so much sand involved I would just put a larger pinion on the existing motor.

Just ordered my Panther paddles and a 13.5T Exceliron System. this should be fun
