Looks like the makings of a awesome build. 7t puller on 4s They are insane on 3s! I'd say some fans and a very easy throttle finger would be in order. What servos are you going to use? Kieren |

I was trying to save cash on the servos. I'm using a pair of 1/4 scale Hitec 805BB servos. I stole them for $30 for the pair , But they are HUGE ! At least they will get the rig up and going. I really want the the new Hitec 7980 (611oz of TORQUE) BUT my wallet can't afford them. I may need to borrow someone elses wallet   |

Modified the Hellstrom chassis by angling the skid plate for better breakover clearance. Started lower link mock-up with some 8/32 all thread. Lower links will be cut from 1/2 delrin. wheelbase is set at 17.5" with 5" or 5.5" skid clearance  Last edited by toytech93; 06-10-2010 at 07:56 PM. |

Well, she's done ! I was able to finish wiring last night. Now just need to learn how to drive it. I changed wheels to a 3.8" PL zero offset rim for more clearance. Cut lower links from 1/2" sheet delrin and decided to run a short revo shock to limit flex What do you guys think ?   |

I think it looks awesome-- the rear clearance, with the arms, is sweet. | |

I test drove the rig today and the 4S was too much for the 7T pullers. The motor temps were too high so I had to switch back to a 3S Even with the tires not glued, the truck did really well. After I add some frontend weight it will do even better. |

went out for another test session today, after glueing the tires. I still would like to add a little weight to the frontend But the truck is performing great.  The rear link clearance worked out great for tall ledges !  Last edited by toytech93; 06-13-2010 at 02:42 PM. |

Looks like you built a very capable rig I have heard that the 7t pullers don't like to run 3s on a heavy rig. Try to keep an eye on the temp. But could work out just fine. |
