How would that compare to a FXR?

i was just wondering why you guys did not want to run a BEC?

Honestly the only reason I did not want to run it is because the truck is so small it gets cluttered up easy with all the wires

[swisherteets]

i really do not see any need for a BEC in these trucks they are so small and with even a micro sidewinder ya got more than enough power out of the BEC I feel for what these trucks will do

You are right

[billysnarf]

Hmmm. I am running the stock ESC, HH torq. moto, overkill hitec TG servo, and 2 cell lipo.. not sure if i need to be running a BEC or not.... but i am.. Yes you are correct it does add a bunch of addtional wires to place...

[swisherteets]

yea with your setup i would definately run a BEC with the stock esc

[billysnarf]

That was my thinking too... I would like to upgrade the esc.. although i think im torn between an FXR and the mamba micro pro... I run the FXR on my 2.2 and love it..

[billysnarf]

Back on topic, I will wait to upgrade my ESC until i get my Mini GC2 built up!!

[swisherteets]

I gotta be honest i would rather have one of these in the black delrin.
i really like the way they look its some really nice work on this chassis
I am more of an SS limited articualation kind of crawler but i am serisously considering one of these

[Gatekeeper]

It will be a while before I get them made in delrin

I'm running my MRC with a B1R. It's internal BEC is set from the factory at 5.1v and 1.5amps. I had problems with my receiver cutting out once I upgraded to a hitech 5645 micro servo. It eventually burned up. Since then I put a 645 and a CC BEC. No problems. Been running it now for a couple of months. I'm still rocking the sled nimh 7.4v though

[swisherteets]

yea the 5645 is digital so it will actually have a higher drain. I cant speak for the tekin stuff but my mamba micro pro and micro sidewinder hold up fine to the beatings i deal otu to them with the 645MG once again though too its analog

I've never had an FXR Joey, so I don't know how they drive, but the Micro drives just like my Sidewinder or Mamba Max, only considerably smaller. I'd say the Micro and FXR are pretty close sizewise.

The little truck pulled out a win yesterday at the E.T.R.C. event
