It looks like you're off to a great start! I'd start looking around for a stronger servo, you're going to need it with those Moab's. Watch that esc, I've seen one catch fire

yeah i got that covered its just the stock connector that catches on fire not the actual esc.....i ordered some deans connectors.....yeah the servo isnt too powerfull but i thought if it can turn the big tires then mabye the moabs but i think i may try and find a jr590z i think u can get those pretty cheap and ive herd they were good servos

looks like your off to a good start. Can't wait to see some pics of that chassis.

I'd be wary of the venom transmitter, they like to heat batteries up to dangerous levels.

truegaintfree · 03-18-2006, 08:46 AM

Really ive had that transmittor for awhile and its the only one ive been able to keep no matter what it always finds its way back but it works ok with a tq3 reciever havent had any problems o and also does anyone have a servo they wanna sell like an jr590z or any 2055's that will push the 2.2's??

Trike Kid · 03-18-2006, 05:36 PM

I's just warning ya, my short lived mini giant's TX used to loove to heat up batts. Some do it some don't.
