Build Thread Corally Shiroi XP6

[9x19]

Not too much to 'build' on these, but I did buy the roller version, just because I could add my own Hobbywing electronics cheaper than the HW stuff that comes in the RTR.

I wanted to go with the 4268-2600kv motor in this as I plan to run it mostly on 4S. I had the Quicrun 8BL150 ESC on hand but had to order the motor... should be here next week.

I was just looking at this rig. Please let us know how you like it after the first rip! I’m very intrigued

@AjDale .. I did a quick writeup/review of mine over on the Arrma forum, the thread is called Ahoy Shiroi..

Edit: I now have a build thread for mine on RCTalk

Will do... I've been well pleased with my Asuga and Kagama models which is why I got the Shiroi. These things are built extremely well compared to most other brands I've owned.

Any particular reason why you are going with a 4268 size motor?

Just becasue that's what Hobbywing offers in a 2600kv that pairs with their ESC I have. It will run on 4S 99% of the time, so I wanted a slightly faster motor than the stock 2050kv. I have the HW 4274-2000kv in my Kagama and it works great with those larger tires. The Shiroi uses the same chassis/drive line just shorter arms and smaller tires, so giving up a bit of torque didn't worry me.

It might be a bad choice, it might be perfect for my use... time and testing will tell. It wouldn't be the first mistake I've made in this hobby, for sure.

Got the motor installed, trims set and ESC programmed... ready for the park!
