Oh I finished this at like midnight and called it a night. Updated the post while I was "working". It's probably going to be a street queen. I almost don't want to take it out, since it's so nice lol. I've go another xmaxx that I can use off-road.

Pretty much done, minus fine tuning the esc and remote. I may change the battery leads.

I had to Google that model as it's hard to follow thir branding lol. They make a lot of cool RCs, I just don't understand the model number thing haha. There's a bolt by the trigger which has as spring attached to it. So like the idiot I am, I decided to turn it without knowing 100% what it does...

Powered everything up finally. Everything seems to be working. The flysky is super responsive. Tightened up the trigger a little bit and it's perfect. Just gotta figure out what to do with all the damn wires. The castle rx and aux leads are very very long for my application. I don't think I'll...

It came with spare springs fortunately. Just gotta find some English instructions 😂

Getting closer. This thing is pretty nice and much lighter than you would think. Smaller too. The trigger could be a little heavier imo but it's super super smooth.

I'm definitely far from a pro but that cheap soldering station you suggested @Greywolf74 works perfectly. I probably went way overboard on the solder but whatever. Tinned everything first, which was super easy with the fat blade tip. Got everything secured nicely then added some solder on top...

I'll probably leave it alone. I'm still pretty new to this and that's how they sent it. The lip flattens out to the middle. I did shave them down more, the ridges on the motor are touching the center of the chassis. that's stock

I was thinking 27t would work too but I don't want to have $200 in pinion gears if it didn't 😂. So the the motor mount area is a little lower the rest of the chassis. With the castle motor being so long, it over hangs that area by about an inch. With a HW 1100kv I think you'd get a few more mm...

I got the truck as incomplete roller. Not my first choice of colors but I liked the way it looked. I've seen a lot of back and fourth about their parts. They do feel a little on the cheap side. But the shocks seems extremely nice. They're very very smooth and the shock shaft is a little bigger...

Does the HW 1100kv fit in the mount area? The castle hangs over a good bit. Hopefully 30/54 will work for me. Took some pictures before I left for work. The grub screw isn't in on this video but it didn't make much of a difference. This is the motor completely bottomed out.

The castle 1100kv is a bit longer than the hw 1100. The back of the motor is resting on the chassis. From what I've gathered, the castle 800, 1100 and hw 800 are all about the same size.

Most of the stuff is here minus the radio... The castle 1100kv is too girthy to set the mesh right with the 54/25 mod1 gears. Gonna try a 30t pinion I guess and probably get the wfo gears... I hate how obnoxious these trucks sound with those gears..

2018 mustang. But yes, it gets very expensive, plus dangerous and illegal if you street race 👀. The fuel I used was about $7 a gallon. Expensive tires, expensive upgraded parts etc. Hell the driveshaft I used was more then a new xmaxx. I'll eventually get back into racing but probably in more of...

Let's see how this noble nb4 is. I think i might run it on one of my other trucks first. Get a feel for the differences. Plus ensuring functionality before putting it in a completely new build first.

I can't speak for others, but for myself, I am bit impulsive at times and others, well thought out. Obviously purchases are based on your own individual budget and what you deem reasonable for your budget. Which with a lot of things in life, are subjective. I just got out of drag racing because...

Man, I completely overlooked your comment and I feel like a complete idiot... At least I get like 25 bucks back with Amazon rewards 😂. I'm tempted to buy that too but I think I'll go with a lighter setup for my other truck. I'm still super annoyed... I've seen a lot of good feedback on those...

Damm, that's really cheap. Especially compared to the 300+ for a dx5 pro.

I wish someone local some that I could test out.
