Aaaaaah yep that'll do it. You must've got one of the pre-recall kits. Makes sense. Well as long as you now have the revision you should be good to go. Sorry about that man!

Thank you.

And to the second question, yes it's stock radiator.

How did you know the top speed wasn't what you wanted without completing the kit?

 

[Maddog Madigan]

Ran it without cage.

 

[hh65flyer]

What did you do with the shocks if the cage wasn't attached? Or was it just a bench run?

May I ask why you are using a BEC? Is it for the LED's?

 

[Maddog Madigan]

Let me say, it takes a lot of paint.

 

[chicklet]

Blood splatter! Where are the other panels you tease? :roll:

 

[RockEd out]

Love that hood panel Maddog!

 

[Maddog Madigan]

She's a roller! It took a couple backup parts lying around. Axial notified me and is sending out my missing parts soon.

All I have to say is I love it. Being a slash owner, this handles like a Ferrari. And I'm glad I went with the 2400 setup. Gobs of torque to raise the front up like a dragster. It's a blast! Going to Jerry's rc tomorrow and try it on the track. Just finished a night run and had plenty of light.


Just a heads up to all future owners.... It sucks installing battery then if lucky you can strap it. With this 3s, it's a pain. Love the battery punch and run time so far. About 2-20 min runs on each cycle. Checking temps and loose things. Was running @ 86 degrees with a ambient temp of 75. It was a beautiful today. Vitamin D

VERY NICELY DONE! What are you using to run the LEDs...controller or what? Any additional photos of mounting the light bar?

How did you go about mounting the LED Light bar? I like it!

 

[Soulo747]

Agreed. A blast to drive. Just buttery smooth. I can't seem to shelf mine for more than a few hours. This is one of those vehicles that's even fun in the driveway ya know.

Today was great to get out and test this thing out, loved it.


Had a little damage...


Now to clean it and inspect it for more damage tonight. Temps were running a little warmer today, as high as 110-119, @ambient temp of 85.

Can you comment on this?

Thanks?

Late but better than never, sorry guys my phone is not updating. I used rc4wd spacers from the screw kit, 31.95 I think. But used for all my stuff. Great little screw kit. With all the abuse it has taken lately, this light bar from Gear Head rc that was purchased through RPP hobby is bulletproof in my opinion . There are much better mounting options out there now. So I would suggest checking others that are installed with the light bar tucked back more under the cage. Much cleaner look.
