got out to the backyard rocks wife is back in town and I got a minute love this rig but need to change the motor to a lower KV's in the low 2000's the 3300 KV's on this thing make it seem like a rock racer and definently change the pinion down and the shocks need a little work but overall she did great those rocks are slippery even when dry Colorado river rocks.... BUZZZZZ....

Same here up in Nashville its been wet all year but I have made over 1500lbs of Honey so that's a BUZZZZZ.....

But dry crawling has been a little difficult this year but no fires or droughts.......

That's a nice rig you've got going there. I've always preferred the higher kv motors, assuming you can gear down enough. Get better low speed control and drag brake. But if you can't gear down enough you gotta do what you gotta do. Looks like it'll be a performer for sure.

BUZZZZZ.... STEVE.... Thanks man its a work in progress im still trying to tweak this rig!!

Trying to adjust the 2.0 low trans and motor situation to get lower gearing on it and I may sell the HH PPS 540 3300KV I have a brand new HH PPS 540 2700 KV so let me know abut that and also working in moving the MambaX and installing forward motor mount and waiting on a set of titanium links for the axles... BUZZZZZ.......

Di love it always wanted a Yellow Jeep Wrangler!!!!

IT'S RIGHT UP MY HIVE......... BUZZZZZZ........

BUZZZZZ...... I absolutely do not like the 3Bros Yellowjacket 2000kv motor it did nothing and was so weak on a pretty light 6.5 rig I can only imagine using it on a very small scale vehicle 1/18th or 16th and even 1/24th!!!!

Going to install the HH PP 540s 1800kv and put a 9 tooth pinion and see if I can slow this thing down a bit but have some real torque!!! BUZZZZZZ.......

Awesome looking crawler

Finally back out on the rocks after months of no RC action! I forgot after 6 months some of the settings on the mamba x go back to original settings and the beeping was annoying but the the noise of the Snubnose V3 1850kv motor made the run not so fun! It performed very well just the noise ;(

Question? Any options on the Mamba X to reduce the motor sound? I know the beeping sound can be shut off

I have a new crawl master V2 esc I have to solder up and I hope that will take the motor screeching away???
