I sorta lost track of this thread

but it is working now! I installed a Novak 3 amp High Voltage BEC putting out 6 volts to power my reciever and dig servo. Also I am using a 7.2v 4.5 amp (Off Brand) BEC connected directly to the servo power wires. On the motor I have a 15t pinion. I also bought some Zippy Rhino 3s 1350 mah 30c. Here is a video of it running around

Looks good man, I'm diggin the lime green body.

TheREDCAT · 11-01-2011, 05:50 PM

Thanks! Yeay I got this body with the truck and thought I didn't like it but I love it

ghtpdm5 · 11-01-2011, 06:11 PM

looking good man

great free mods on the lightened trays too.

TheREDCAT · 01-29-2012, 09:26 PM

Well I got dig back in this thing awhile back and went to a comp

Did preety good! Very fun truck.

TheREDCAT · 01-29-2012, 09:28 PM

Here is it now with lowered body. I also now have about 6oz in each front wheel.

ghtpdm5 · 01-29-2012, 11:08 PM

looking good

only thing i would fiddle with is the wiring, but i'm a bit of a nut with that lol. like the paint on the body too, how did you do that, just masks or something else?

TheREDCAT · 03-02-2012, 10:43 PM

Yeay the wires are getting fixed tomorrow

The body I believe used masks. When I got the truck it had this body

TheREDCAT · 03-02-2012, 10:48 PM

The worms were getting warm so time for some grease

I got some parts and tips to install tomorrow thanks to everyone at p.a.r.c. I will get some update's soon.

TheREDCAT · 03-04-2012, 03:58 PM

I installed a LCG dig servo mount, graphite shock arms in the rear and greased the axles. I have been playing around with the suspension too and now fine tuning it. The esc had to be moved to the rear axle to make room for the dig servo. I cleaned and greased the axles and after I ran them I repacked them for the next comp. I like Lucas products in my 1/1 rigs so the axles have Lucas red n tacky in them. I took it out today and did some awsome lines! This thing is very impressive now

TheREDCAT · 03-04-2012, 04:01 PM

Oh also im running some slightly modified Pather couger tires in the rear. The dig servo is now a Hitec hs-225 mg. Thanks again to all the guys at p.a.r.c

how do yo like the 21.5t motor? i have a 18.5t to put in mine, but was wondering about wheelspeed.

Tgreer · 03-05-2012, 08:24 PM

21.5 is pull your hair out slow, 18.5 is slow, and 13.5 is much better, but I'm thinking about a 10.5 ballistic!

I started with a 21.5 and thought it was just fine until I built my berg and started to get whooped by the ax10 rigs against my losi, then changed to a 13.5 and wished I had done that over a year ago! Great rig, by the way!

TheREDCAT · 03-05-2012, 08:49 PM

I must be a slow driver

I love the 21.5t and haven't really found a time I felt too slow.

The other day though when I hit the throttle I had terrible glitchyness so I shut the esc down and turned it back on with no problems. I hope the Goat doesn't give out soon. Thanks for the complement

Tgreer · 03-06-2012, 07:52 AM

I not knocken anything, I drove 21.5t just fine for a long time! It really just comes down to the driver and his or her style of driving!

Frikenwoodro · 03-06-2012, 10:30 AM

How do you like running the 2 different tires? Same size or? I thought about doing this to mine to over drive the front.

TheREDCAT · 03-06-2012, 11:57 AM

These tires are so close in size that I haven't noticed a difference. I mainly did it for traction reasons

ghtpdm5 · 03-06-2012, 12:14 PM

just a little observational input here. the xt60 to deans adapter is one of those things that i'm not a fan of...they are both decent plugs, but it would be better if you chose one or the other. then there's wiring...its way easier at the very least if you push for cleaner wiring, zipties are ok, but properly done wire loom is better imo. hanging wires tend to get stuck on things and make for a bird's nest when you go for dis-assembly, at least for me. also you could shorten up the motor wires a bit. not tearing your work apart, just suggestion.

i am digging the looks of the cougar and comp claw combo though.

TheREDCAT · 03-06-2012, 03:06 PM

Thanks for the input
