i dont know if its just me ... but i find the GP3700's cooler even after long running periods. havent really tested a it on any of my crawlers (been running my drifters lately) but the 3300 really has a higher temp after running em.

Post 37 has some comments after the initial outing with the Revolver/Mamba combo.

EP's 14'r

Overall the truck is sweet. At that GTG it made everything the TLTs did, and made it look easy. It also followed a Super sized comp TXT with 4WS and a 65 turn lathe with a GD600 with no problems. And at my testing grounds there's some stuff it can't do, but only because it's a little short sometimes. But it's fun that's for sure.

Stu, of course I know you've been busy, when aren't you? And I love that thing, and hope to see it soon.

Though I did just move the Revolver into the TLT for some trying outing.

Here's how sweet two 35 turn Integy lathe motors look. With the 9 tooth pinions they're a little slow, but they definately have good power. I forgot how good two motors are at drag braking.

Instantly noticable is the weight up high compared to the lightweight Revolver motor.

As I sit around and wonder what this truck would be like with the tranny flipped back over so it's upside down I am always impressed with the way it drives as is. So I haven't flipped it yet. When I originally had it flipped the motor gets beat on nicely, as there isn't a skidplate, and it hangs very low. I figured it was no worse off than a motor in a Clod, and those get beat hard.

But the motors look pretty sweet through the windshield.

I've run a few different motors, including using the GD600. Most recently it's got two 35 turn motors in series. And it works great, maybe the best yet.

Before it recieves a complete makeover, cough brushless pede tranny cough torsion stick cough 4:1 axle gears (!!!!), I took a picture. Total old school, 14'r with big ol' Giant Tracs. And if everything falls through, the next incarnation should be pretty sweet.

Thanks EeePee, this thread on your 14'r is one of the reasons I pulled the TXT off the shelf and did my 650 project. I took your 14'r idea and put it to a scale build.
