Ok, update. I got the wedge installed and it came out really good, Installed the tranny, and I installed the drive shafts. Electroncs are in, but I need to program the Mamaba and get the ESC to recognize the radio, and mess w/ the gear mesh. Cant seem to find a sweet spot? Should'nt be to long and it will be on it's way back to it's owner! Here are a few pics. Nice pinion angle! |

Hrm, bent angle aluminum? I wonder how it'll hold up to the bouncing stress in the back.

I regularly use the 1200's and get 35-45 minutes depending on the weight of my throttle finger. | |

BTW, 1.5" angle alum works perfect for getting 4 mount holes top and bottom. Plus it leaves enough room to drill guide holes to get the screws next to the bend as well. I'll take pics tomorrow since I left my CF reader at work. I hammered it out and drilled it all up since I said it looked cool in the other thread. |

It's such a simple design, I don't know why everyone w/ a BM-V2 doesn't run one! |

As if it didn't have a high enough breakover angle before, I'm already seeing a benefit to this driving around my garage. |

It was originally put together for Harold Pressley (hlpressley). I ended up buying it from Harold. Harold wanted out of the hobby. I never ran it myself. Then Neal Cahill bought it from me. Hopefully the third owner actually get's to run it.

Neal switched it to Lipo and I snagged the 6 cell for my BMV. The rig was going well though I think, I do believe he had a breakage of some sort today though. The BM's were doing great today! |
