Question: Why did Turtle skip the "logs" in the frame twister? (second last video @5:25)

He didn't want to get his feet wet:-P

After the water holes his right front tire went out of bounds so his run ended there.

This is the truck I plan on running. I still need to find the right balance of power, speed, and battery life.
Drive train is an R2 powered by a 19t double with a 10 tooth pinion at 70.08:1 on a 3s 2200mah 25c lipo.

[XSRCdesign]

that looks like a hell of a lot of fun

[JatoTheRipper]

Wow these trucks look so fun!

Are most of them based off of the Axial Scorpion? What is the red truck in the second video and the white truck in the 3rd video?

And what's the black Bronco/ProLine Decender looking thing with the yellow KC lights on top?

[C*H*U*D]

There will be one more next time!! That looks like a blast!

Looks like it has good wheelspeed. One thing to consider is the load on the motor and durability. The little white K5 burned up his motor in the mud pit, you can see the smoke in the second video.
The torque of the Cobalt puller can handle the huge loads placed on it from the mud pit. As long as you are careful and don't push it too much in the mud the 19T will prolly survive though. It totally depends on the mud too, ours was very sticky and weighed down the trucks quickly.

Pepe, is running an Axial tranny with 81/20 gearing and Guido has an R2 with a 14 tooth pinion.

Some of the trucks are based off Tamiya axles and some are running Axial axles.
-The red F100 is mine, it is based off a Reign K2-5 chassis with an Axial transmission and Axial axles. Pepe Build thread.
-The white truck is Kris', it is basically a Tamiya F-350 Highlift with 4-link suspension and 2.2's. Info.
-The black Descender with the lights is a CR-01. Belongs to TwistedXT.

A cobalt puller would be awesome. I always build around a pullers diamentions, incase I get one. The 19t with a 10 tooth gives awesome torque and speed I need to cover the endbell with something to keep debris out of it.

I liked when the white truck started smoking it looked real.

I have a foam outer filter from a nitro engine on the endbell of my puller motor. I used the Dynamite DYN2610 it is a tight fit on the puller motor, so a 540 can might need the DYN2616 but I'm not positive.

Yeah, that was it big hit when the smoke started pouring out.

I normally run a 7t puller in that white truck, but I ran a 27t epic for that event because I didn't want to dunk the puller in the mud. It was geared 22/87 on 3 cell lipo, and it was stupid fast

have you tried a 12turn titan yet?? I just put 1 in a 1.9 scaler to try it out, the thing has some rip, its cheap, and torque is good, only issue I have is it needs geared down a little more and with the axial tranny I have no more room for smaller pinion.. I am gonna try it this weekend in a comp see how it holds up under real use, so far though seems pretty good..

The rest I'm not sure on.

Thanx.
