|  The NERCC Hustler
This is the newest version of my clod. I bent my stick chassis previous to this build so I hope it will stand up to my abuse for a while. I went through 3 different chassis last year, I think this one will be the one. I took it for a quick run today before it was snowing and I am very happy. The brushless setup is so much better than lathes and super roosters.   Here is a quick rundown on the specs: DX6 2 Mamba MAXX's Hyperion 3013's 8 tooth pinions Aluminum lockers CVD's Aluminum Knuckles Hitec 5955's Knuckle packs 6 cell rx pack Moab XL's on Proline beadlocks for now |

Thanks for the complements. Those are Intigy shocks for a maxx. They no longer make them. The chassis only comes with springs no shocks.

More power, less weight, longer runtimes, little to no maintenance. |

I kind of like them all beat up. I realized after running it a little this weekend I am going to need to build skids to cover the motors. I don't want to damage the cans by running them into rocks. I didn't have to worry before with lathes but not now.

How much did the entire brushless system cost if you don't mind me asking?

are the motors the same diameter as a lathe and the wires coming into the end like a brushed motor. if so instead of skid plates you can always use motor heatsinks that snap on to the can like the ones integy has

The brushless cost about $480 shipped to me, It was a big purchase but well worth it to me. I can't run heat sinks on the motors because those would spin too, it has to be a shield or guard that is seperate from the can.
