That trans will not last 5min on 6s. I thought you already upgraded my bad.

Installed the battery box and a 20T pinion and let it rip. Now we are talking. It has some speed now and the rearend squats hard. Surprisingly the trans held up just fine, but I wasn't getting all stupid with it either because it's not mine and I know how to respect 6S power. Of all things, the slipper gave me problems because the nut kept loosening, getting the steel spur so hot that it could have been used as a branding iron. I put some Loctite on it so that should be a non-issue. I'm gonna try a 22T pinion, box it up and give it back to the owner. Thanks for all the help and info guys, it was appreciated.

Final configuration. It's tight, but it all fits under the narrow Proline 50 Chevy P/U body.

Truck looks real good. It's a tight squeeze on any t-maxx chassis I see

Yeah that Supermaxx chassis made it more difficult than it should have been, but the plexi-glass plates made it all come together.

It's the Supermaxx kit. Everything is aluminum except the trans case, which I find odd. It's not my style, but my buddy likes it. The truck is very heavy....heavier than my Savage Flux. I'd guess it's around 20lbs-I wouldn't want to get hit in the leg with it. I should've weighed it before I gave it back. lol

Hey all, I've been gone for awhile and I see the thread died out a little bit. I moved back to the states and after a year I'm finally able to get back into RC again. I see how2rc made some new motor mounts, has anyone used those. I bought his low motor mount and my Tekkin motor is too big to use that mount.

yeah, I'm about to use the tekkin on my buggy and try a castle setup. Otherwise I'll have to order the how2rc high mount.
