| Foff build
Been to the beach today and convinced me I need one Need ideas and advice Current ideas Scx axles HD gears od front std rear vp stage 1 kit Exo gearbox with modded output shafts Std wildboar shafts due to they'll be open to sand and salt so will be replaced frequently Not sure on kv of motor yet as not worked out gearing of an exo gearbox probs about 2200kv Will be run on 3s Not sure on the best style of paddles to go for?? Also weight or strength opinions? Do I build a cage for strength and big chunky 6mm metal links ect or plastic cage and plastic links to save weight? |

Hi The panther paddles will give you better performance vs the proline sandpaw (personal experience). Scx10 axler are ok, use them myself, but the steering is a bit limited, the AR60 axle has better steering angles. You can, like me add burleytubes to the scx10 axles and add wraith c-hubs, knucles and xr10 driveshafts. Dont know about the driveshafts, but I've have run E/T-Maxx driveshafts with good reliability. As for electronics, I've run the Traxxas Velenion system (on 3s) and the CC Mamba Max pro 5700 combo. The traxxas system lacked a bit of power, but very good for just getting started, the Mamba Max pro 5700 combo was too much power... Hopes this will give you some ideas for what to do..

| Re: Foff build Throw some paddles on something, put as much power in it as the drivetrain can handle and start driving up hills. Doesn't take much I typed this almost auto correctly free |
