Are you really running two 6C packs in series, and not parallel? Seems a bit much, can the rooster handle that? I guess it's not that much more voltage than 3S.

 

[klabeaume]

I think he means parallel

 

[BORG]

no there in series lol im using a traxxas series connector (y harness) to run both batteries:twisted: and yes the rooster esc seems to be holding up quite well lol

How did you mount that light bar. I have the same light bar and roof rack, but the light bar is too wide for the body. I was wondering how you mounted the light bar.

I think it looks good with the honcho bumper maybe paint the aluminum bits black. I would get rid of that tamiya style connector tho. especially running all that power thru it

 

[OKJeepin]

Looking good!
I would suggest putting on a different bumper also, and change out those tamiya connectors too. "thumbsup"

A friend of mine uses a Summit front bumper and they look good.

You are way beyond what that ESC was meant for voltage wise. The stock specs say "Input Voltage: 4-7 NiCd/NiMH cells (1.2V per cell) or 2 LiPo cells", definitely not 12!. Traxxas offers both series and parallel wiring "Y" adapter, sure you are not running the parallel one? I would think that the ESC would smoke immediately.

Im doing a full swap motor esc servo today ill post sum pics later and yup Idid fry it after 20 mins lol lesson learnd

The truck is looking good man, Im really diggin the body. I would definitely ditch that honcho bumper.

 

[209SCXCRAWLER]

I personally think the Honcho bumper looks ok... U need to drop the body down lower so there isn't such a huge gap between the body and bumper.
Although a DH FAB bumper would look 100x better!

Here's my rig with the Honcho bumper... Please excuse the giant 2.2's... They were just for the beach rocks

Nice lookin rig overall... Keep up the good work!
