Exceed mad torque Build

[dannymac]

So I got my exceed mad torque a few days a go I got the green version and thought I would give my thoughts on it and show what I have done to it. So stock it crawled good but left room for improvement first off 2ws sucks so I put my 4 wheel steer on which was much better. Also don't like how you have to put the spacers in the shocks every time you want to adjust them so I got the aluminium ones for it that are threaded that way I can adjust them fast and whenever I want without having to carry around those spacers. clod stall wasn't really a problem as what little it had didn't really affect how it crawled to much also I crawls up stairs very good stock.






so the tire compound was alright so I fiqured I would stick with it for now till i can afford something better so I planned to make the tires better so I cut a piece out in the tread which made them grip better also got some foam from Walmart for $6 That was 18x18x3 And did all four tires and it worked a bit better




Then I cut shut them when my wheels came the next day and cut the wheels down to 1 1/2 wide and bought another foam from walmart and cut them for the new tires

I also got the lower links from the maxstone 8 and used a 2.2 chassis I had which worked out pretty good and am using a 1550mah lipo from my e revo in it mounted on the top front links on a piece of lexan from a body with velcro and zipties to hold it on. I also put some lights on it for when I crawl at night Also put a big nut on each of the front axles for front end weight it's not much but maybe it helps maybe not I plan to get some stick on wheel weights for cars to stick in the rims

Looks cool, Danny, you will be changing those servos soon. Like duals on the front with those big wheels.

Nope i do run a external battery voltage horn that beeps when the vattery gets low.
I now run dual stock escs with 3s lipos and higher torque servos with no problems works great
thanks Danny

HUMMM those tires and wheels look oddly familiar

[Nimyad]

I know it's been while since this threads been up. But when you started running a lipo did you run a bec as well, or just leave the electronics stock and throw a lipo in there?
