Your thoughts on this absolutely unnecessary XV-01 Setup?
 

So this quarantine thing has gotten me pretty bored, so I decided to order myself a Tamiya XV-01 Subaru WRX kit. Pretty normal right? Until you hear that I'm putting a Castle MambaX with a 1410 3800Kv SCT motor........On 3s.

So anyways, here's the build:
-Castle MambaX with Castle 1410-3800KV

-Savox 1257TG super speed servo

-77t Slipper Clutched spur, 22t pinion (may change)

-XV-01 reinforced drive belt

-60wt shock oil front and rear

-7k front diff fluid, 2k rear

-Traxxas receiver and Transmitter because I've got a couple of those layin around

I'm also doing a camo vinyl wrap job with a carbon fibre hood, it might turn out good, but I really don't know.

Do you guys think it can handle the power without snapping some axels if I keep my hand from going trigger happy?

Keep us posted on the build. The XV01 has been on my want list for a while. I’ll probably end up buying one when I get all my other projects complete.

I'm currently waiting for the kit to arrive, might be a week, but I will do :)

That motor on 2s is almost ludicrous in my Rustler. I can't comprehend the level of out of control on 3s with relatively small rally tires.

Seeing as how much of the drivetrain is plastic I predict premature failure as a result of your experiment. Just make sure to post vids of its first runs please.

I'm probably going to adjust the motor setting through the app, make the throttle curve really flat and limit the peak power if possible.

I'm using it for heavy bashing, and I figured that a more powerful motor would run cooler. That may be bad logic though.....

3800Kv might be okay if you can gear it down. Should be a lot of fun. Use a lot of Tamiya anti-wear grease on the diff gears if it came with it.
