Maybe JRH will have his new ESC available by then with the internal BEC

Now this is a sweet chassis and your MRC looks awesome. Cool chassis and awesome wheels! I love those things!

Slacker didn't take you long to get it together. Did you get the day off again.

Can't drive a cement truck up a hill and pour a foundation in the snow without sliding all over the place and getting stuck

Maybe I'll pour it tomorrow....besides, uncle's been gone to Mt. Bachelor to ski since wednesday, when the cat's away......

I'll get some more pics tomorrow of the other side, I'm worn out from wrenching on trucks all day

Put the deans on the esc and shortened the battery leads, and mounted the body. Drove it in the living room over the normal obstacles(shoes, backpacks...and other assorted couch crawling:-P), and it's all I expected. VERY minute TT with the preloads backed off all the way, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS ON THE ROCKS

and start tuning for optimal performance.

billysnarf · 02-13-2009, 08:18 AM

thats one of the things i noticed right away when I drove mine, the TORQUE TWIST is non-existent!! Freakin sweet..

Timothy Hill · 02-13-2009, 09:02 AM

that looks sick the four link,the stance cant wait to see it on sunday? wish red skeeter was going to be here then to compare the two. I don`t know how it could be any nicer than what you`ve got your hands on

I hope you got to drive it today without it being a blizard

BILLYGOAT · 02-13-2009, 07:09 PM

The snow held off today, just flurried for bit while I poured a foundation by myself

, but after I got done with that, I did get a chance to hit my local testing spot.....................................and WOW

To sum it up in one word....AMAZING is all I have to say. I haven't even started tuning it yet, and it's just nutty already

. I do need some more wheelspeed, the Mini-T motor has more speed/power than the stocker(hobby shop didn't have any Slider motors on hand

)but I'd like just a little more.
