Quick question. After reading and going back and forth on trying to make up my mind on my next project
What are the absolute must have upgrades? Servo arm,steel center diff gear from what I’ve read are definitely on the top of the list. What’s the largest motor that will fit? Since this truck is lighter in what I mess with a 4038 1700kv motor should fit or maybe a 4038 1550kv Tekin be enough? |
You definitely need an aluminum servo arm. But the plastic spur gear is very durable. A steel spur is a nice upgrade but definitely not essential.
|
Yeah I’ve yet destroyed my mt4’s plastic gear so I can leave that off.
I got a airtronics rx/tx a Hitec 7050th and a sanwa servo Tekin gen3 rx8 and half set of trencher x’s that I was gonna use on other build Is the truck about as big as the mt4? If so then I’m down Also best deal to get one at? No local HS carriers in my area |
It’s right about the same size as an MT4-g3. I can take a pic of the two side by side tomorrow. I got both my Tekno mt410 and et48.3 slightly used with extras on eBay and saved a few hundred dollars over new.
|
I’ll keep an eye out but I like building hence my lst projects lol
Thanks for your time and I’m sure I’ll have more questions after I buy one |
