The runcam5 is probably more durable than the 2, but it also sticks up more.
I had a heck of a time figuring out a mounting solution for camera's on my trucks. I didn't want to just stick one on for a minute, then take it off. I run it and record the entire bash so I can have the PIP footage...
On the roof. I have the traxxas roof skid and the front of the mount butts up against it while I use some other generic 3D printed "body skids" that came in a set with some I bought for my kraton that looked goofy for their intended purpose. I use the 3D ones to center the camera mount and I cut...
I ran 29/46 with the max5/5687-1100kv and it did pretty good. With the tires wrapped, it really kills air control, but I finally got my first "on purpose" backflips with it! I ran 3 or 4 sets of packs through it with that. I've put 31/46 in it to see how that does for me. 29/46 was pretty fast...
It's braided 200lb kevlar cord that I wrapped around the tire. Helps limit ballooning and blowing tires apart when doing backflips and whatnot. On most of my tires, I used cored 500lb kevlar cord, but it was too thick to fit in the channels. It does hold up longer though when running in rocky...
I had the spare max6 already, so figured I'd see how it does with gearing that works for me. As it was, I ran 4 sets of 5000mah packs through it today, back to back. No issues, except the motor got warmer than I'd have liked (170F). I don't think bending the traxxas heat sink to fit is the best...
I just cooked my stock motor with a max6 and 21/50 gearing. The rotor kind of exploded.
First session, I used 18/54 with the vxl-8s.
Second session, I used 20/50 with the max6.
Third session, I used 21/50 with the max6 and halfway through the first pack, the motor died.
I got the truck used and...
