WesleyRoy's Mad Max inspired 6x6 wrecker

[jebster]

if those are some cheap ebay shocks I believe I'm running the same ones, just a longer length. jebster's mud truck

I have a second set on the way. first set was too long so I'm running those on my twin hammers now.

not much runtime with them but they do cycle pretty smooth and I haven't seen any leaks yet. for the price if they hold oil long term it would be better than I expected!

[WesleyRoy]

Oke thanks. Today i got a message from RC Mart, they contacted the manufacturer (Yeah Racing) about my leaking Yeah Racing Lizzard shocks, they told them all of there Yeah Racing Lizzard shocks leak, so instead of sending out a new set of shocks, they completely refunded me the shocks.

Bought Gmade RSD 90mm shocks. Read some good reviews about it. The cheap ebay shocks, i am going to try also, depends on what will arrive earlier.

Had a nice test drive with a 35t cheap CoolRC motor and a 3s lipo, geared 56/11t.

I also have a 27t Torquemaster Pro laying on the bench. I used it in my Wraith. But how about using it in a 6x6, what do you guys think, on 3s. My truck weighs around 8 pounds / 4kg.

Had a great event in Belgium yesterday. Walk The Trail. Took my 6x6 Mad Max truck with me for the first time on such a big event (280 competitors). Compared to my other 6x6 this one has more wheelspeed (3s 35t motor) wich helped a lot.



A friend brought his 6x6 also .


Sharp corners.






At the front a Scx10.2 from another friend. l\/laarten witch also had a build topic on this forum.

At first i went for cheap tyres (15 euro for 6 tyres). But i really wanted bigger tyres from the start already. A friend of mine sold 4x almost new Mickey Thompson tyres, exactly the ones i wanted, bought 2 extra. And now it has the tyres it deserves!

[WesleyRoy]

First test outside with new tyres.

Today i did a good testrun with the new tyres. Wow what a difference. Very soft and grip. Also less hang on rocks due to the fact they are bigger.













Now i still need to change my gearing. Motor gets really hot. I use a 35t motor on 3s, gearing 56t/ 12t. Going to try 56/ 9t .

I run 87/16. I also run dual motors though.

Oke, going to try 56/9. And otherwise a 13.5t brushless could be an option on 2s.

[wblteen]

I dunno about the 2s part. The saying goes volt up and gear down

Yes i prefer 3s also. I have some nice 2200mah 3s packs. Not so big as 2s hardcase. And enough drivetime on one 3s to last 1,5 hours.

I run a 6400 mah 3s. With dual motors, dual winches, dual servos, and a lot of leds I find myself getting a good 3-4 hours

Still have a Torquemaster pro 27t laying around, so going to try that on light gearing 56/9 on 3s. See how that goes. Should be at least better quality then my 35t Coolrc motor (10 dollars).
