cool build, very innovative. ive just got into 1/5 scale onroad stuff myself and its a blast. the only thing i dont like is that i have to order everything i need online. its not that big a deal, i just hate waiting 2-3 weeks to get stuff from the US, getting parts from europe is quicker. this has got me thinking about the junk t-maxx i have on the shelf, and all the other stock t-maxx parts my dad will never use again. however im not really thinking of electric or gas, thinking something more like 4 .28s lol.

| thanks I get lots of complements when I take to the hobby shop. I'm not sure what the gas 1/5 weigh at but it might be even with mine. I think the complete weight is about 11 lbs heavy battery and motor and diffs i should go weight it at the post office |

Made some upgrades Needing new shafts . ( keep breaking) Installed my custom adjustable brake button on the DX6i (silver tab on the grip behind the throttle) NEW Tires ! Reinforced the chassis New upper chassis rails New Aluminum motor plate Moved the Motor and battery to left side for better weight distribution Results were great ! I was able to drive it with the huge body on it and reach 58mph before it STARTED to FLY up into the AIR !:surprised: what happen I think is the rear stub axle broke which could have aided in the front lifting. Happened so fast the front was an easy 10 inches off the ground before I released the throttle | |
