IH CXT Build

Thanks. I know you gear your CXT builds even deeper than mine and with lover KV motors too, but I really like how this ended up now. I see Pitbull offers a new firm 1.55 foam, I may try those for my trailer tires. I wanna change up the grille guard a bit and add some fender protection as well, just not too sure on which way to go yet exactly. Ideally I'd like to remove the grille bar, since I think it looks better without, but I've done enough damage to this body already.
 
Yah, low kv's, low gearing and 4s-5s voltage for my setups.
I cut down some 1.9 CI single stage foams for my trailer foams. They hold about 75lbs. Added a swivel caster to the underside of the trailer for human hauling. Haha.

Not a ton of 1:1 CXT to pull ideas from on tube work.
 
Well, just hauling my Wraith around my place has kinked the hell out of the trailer leaf springs. Looks like I'm going to mount the axles solid. It looks like yours are solid mounted too? Hard to tell from the pic. I'll move the axles back an inch or so while I'm at it, they ended up a bit more forward than I liked. Loving the new gearing, in the cooler weather today hauling the Wraith around the ESC fan never kicked on.
 
So I still have this rig, took it out for a crawl up to an old fire lookout peak a couple months ago. I just swapped out the motor to a Fusion Pro, no more free-wheeling downhill when any throttle is applied. I had to install a spacer under the transmission as the longer motor was hitting one of the lower rod ends.

Also removed the 7950 servo and external BEC, and installed a 9381 servo. Also Cerakoted the wheels in tungsten since they were getting a little rashed up.
