Some picks from today's work at the office. EXO style :mrgreen:

Beefed up areas I could, Ti links, RC4WD rod ends, RCSkewz, 36/14 gears, Power Strokes. Runnin' 48/22 spur/pin, 3s, Mamba Max w/5700kV. Insane wheel speed. For general bashing, might just use 2s(wrong!). Waterproofed ESC, see my thread http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/electronics/26785-water-proofing-electronics-post3590585.html

Gearing to tall. Took outside in the real world and thermal shutdown. Going to drop pinion down from 22t to 15t and see how that works. Here's some more pics of build. Proline Shocks on rear will make you work to get them to fit right and provide the best dampening and free movement.

 

[Hunter711]

Here some tweaks to conceder:
Rear camber -2*
Front toe out about 4*
Rear springs yellow/green
Front springs yellow/red
Nice to be able to adjust ESC at a whim.
This brings back memories of my MP6 racing days with junior.

You want to share what you did for the external esc plug ? I used a Y harness and made a double male connecter that plugged into one side of the Y which led outside of the box for easy access...Didnt work with a rx8 esc.

(wow, that really could be takin in the wrong context ^^^^^^)

Y harness allows signal to flow in both directions (not good). CC Quick Connect lets info out but not back. Go to Castle's website and read about it. It also works on several brands of ESC's. Holme's and Axial ESC's requires it. DO a search on this site and I'm sure you will find more info also. "thumbsup"

 

[hotwheels000]

Perfect, now to find out if it will work with my rx8 or put the MMP back in if it doesnt.

I was thinking along those lines when it didnt allow adjustment,except I was trying to figure out how to kill power to the rx and still allow power to the esc for programing

I checked Tekin's website for you! Rx8 use's their HOT WIRE to link to PC.

 

[hotwheels000]

Yes they do. It would be nice if the hot wire sends the same trigger to the CC to shut down the rx side. I have put it out to the CC techs, waiting on there response. If not,maybe a bit more inquiring/research or just put the MMP back in.

 

[Hunter711]

Some pics for ya! Have fun doing your side panels!!! Going to leave lights and interior off, this is going to be a basher, not a HO train set :shock:

Hunter, looks sweet dude. Like the colour, or as the common term in over there, "color" :ror: let the dust spraying and madness commence
