After all that it was about done. Just had to reroute the wires and reassemble the belt guards. Ended up going under the guard for the motor to esc wires and sensored wire and over the guard for the power plugs. Also because I resolder almost all my lipos with new wire to my length that I like and because they put that huge 8g wire on that makes it impossible to work with. Also because of how the wires exit the pack. I make them to wear I can run them in many of my trucks and not have to cut up the battery trays/doors to make them work. It’s time consuming but well worth it to me. I used some zip ties to hold the wire out of the way and inline with the belt guards.
All in all the truck was fun to build especially with a power tool. I still have to paint the body, wire the bec, and redo the shock. I have added sway bars front and rear, STRC aluminum pulleys front and rear, 30k diff oil in the front, 5k diff oil in the rear, MMP esc, Tekin 4.5 motor, Savox 1267 servo, FT aluminum hexes, FT HT slipper pads, and on the way some of those upgraded shock o-rings. I guess they are on back order till next month or so. I also need to get some mod .8 5mm shaft pinions since my original plan was to use a castle 3800 motor that has the 3mm shaft. I have a ton of pinions for the 3mm shaft but not for 5mm shafts in mod .8 gearing. Trying out 14/62 for now since it’s all I got. Need to get some decent wheels as well. Oh and have some DE Racing wheels coming to.
That’s it for now. I will report back once the rest of the parts get here and I can finally drive it. I also have a Losi SCTE coming so I will see which one suits my driving style better. One last thing, I think I still need some weight on the electronics side so can I use the Losi stick weights for this and if so how do I position them in order to balance the truck out.
Thanks for looking.
