Thank you
I would not recommend cutting the motor wires. I don't remember offhand, I will try to find the definitive answer, but I want to say the motor wires are part of the windings and you'll affect the kv/timing if you cut them short. I don't see any problem with cutting the ESC wires, if that is what you want to do.

Iīm talking about the 3 collors wires betwen the motor and the esc. The ticker ones. Becouse when I mount my tekin, I didnīt found any recomendation about this size from tekin. Thatīs the wires that you would not recomend to cut?

Default I got mine...one more!

Hi...I test my MT4 today. It is amazing car...I always had truggys and this car really looks like a truggy with esteroids...
I try the original setup with 50 x 12t rate and try too a 15t pinion with the 50t spur. The car is só fast with 50x15t and still with a great punch. Is safe to use this rate 50x15t with the original combo? I am using 2 x 2s nanotech 5300mah 60C hard case...means 4s and it is enought for sure!!!
Best regards
Ivan

This is my favorite truck, and i just got done building a flm emaxx. the mt4 is lighter, handles great with a better servo and just rips. Stock servo will get you by but that would definitely be one of my first upgrades, and luckily the only real upgrade you would even need.

Thanks! This is helpful as I also have the Team Magic E6 which is basically the same as the Robitronic Hurricane.

Hey guys! I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these babies! Can someone tell me the maximum battery dimensions that will fit so I can purchase ahead of time? I wanna be ready when this beast hits the doorstep!
Cheers!

The Sky 5s 5000 mAh LiPos drop in without any modification to the tray.

GensAce 2x 2s 5000 mAh hardcase batteries will fit (snugly) when hooked up in series.

Check out the batteries section of wondertiger.com for the rest of the batteries owners are using.

47mm from top of chassis to bottom of top chassis cage. 53mm wide. 141mm length . There is a little built in molded plastic spacer that if was grounded away would make the length 150mm. You would be fight the angled corner though.

Hooray!!! Finally, someone who owns a tape measure!! Thanks Mack!!!

Anyways, I just picked up my new baby today and.... what a fricken BEAST!!! This thing looks like it wants to stomp some!! I can already see others fleeing before my glorious onset when I alight upon the field with this monster mwahahahahaa!!!

Ok, phew! Anyways before I actually run this thing here's my planned changes.
  1. Change that awful body! Pro-Line F-650 PRO319600 to add some mean truck looks.
  2. Futaba R203GF 3 Channel receiver so I can use my 4PL. Will flog off the kit RX/TX set.
  3. Get rid of the token servo and fit a Hitec HS-7954SH running off a CCBEC at 7.4V for 403oz/in and 0.12 sec.

Can't wait!
