What's going on folks. Used to have a tuber wheelie king build on here back in the day... Santa brought us some new trx4s this past Christmas. So here we are back into it!
This is my hightrail. So far, the servo broke, so I upgraded to an eco power 250t. While doing so I put softer springs all around on it. Whelp, once I did that, the front end is designed so poorly on the hightrail that the panhard bar was just sitting on the axle and servo horn. What a terrible design.
So I got a aluminum panhard mount, chopped the oe panhard mount off the old servo mount. Got a front bumper/servo mount to mount the servo away from everything. What a difference! Now I have the droopy, soft suspension I was looking for. I wanted it sitting lower but not losing out on travel. Wanted to fit the interco irok super swamper 1.9s on cheapo 1.9 steelies. I think it sits real nice now. Performs great!
Then randomly my RX fried. When I say fried, I mean, toast. Like might as well have been in an oven, or under a torch. It came down off a drop kinda hard, on the front wheels, and I think maybe the servo spiked or something, and fried the rx. I didnt have a bec or anything. I bought a new rx, and added the traxxas bec to it. While that does seem to be working really well, I decided to swap to a CC bec wp... and gonna just bypass harness the RX as to not fry it while running stock esc for the other micro servos. Anyone ever see that happen before? Thought it was kinda odd tbh...
Anyways, I'll put up some more pictures soon.
