FMS f100 High Roller

Can you install a bigger pinion? That should get your speed up. If you have no temp issues, you should be safe to start experimenting. Watch temps adding a tooth or 2 each time.

Needs motor reversed, and launch aggressively increased etc. I reversed through the radio options for now. Need a programming card to set up correctly. The motor that's in there should be ridiculous. Currently not any more impressive than it was brushed.

Program card ordered. Looks like probably 2 weeks for delivery. I hope it works...

Program card is out for delivery....hope this 1 works.....let's be realistic, I hope it gets here and 1 if my neighbors doesn't get to enjoy it first.

 

[Ritz413]

Another hard no....none of my program cards including the newest 1 are effective at change the settings on this esc

Trying new things with this today. Got some 12mm hexes that let me mount different wheels, dropped the ride height a bit, and got rid of the high roller decals.

 

[Ritz413]

New wheels should be fun. Should be interesting to see what foams and balancing clay can do for how thing drives.

Just came in from running this around outside. The new set up is great!!! Still gotta get the esc sorted. They should all have a card bypass button for programming through the flashes and beeps so you can do it without 1.

And finally....a programmable esc and motor that make this truck everything it was meant to be.

Absolutely brilliant!! Can carry a wheelie for 50ft on blacktop no problem!

At least the waiting paid off! Sounds like a blast!!!

Yes sir!! Between the motor/esc combo, and the balanced tires and wheels with foams this is a whole new truck. Damn near perfect basher.

That does drive great! I'd like to see it drive with the stock tire/wheel combo too some time.
The body is pretty cool too!

It just enough power to be ridiculous when you want to, but not uncontrollable...perfect! 60s,70s,and 80s ford trucks were great looking. The new stuff doesn't do much for me. I will have more ford bodies eventually....got my eye on an 87 bronco body atm...I used to have an 89 1/1

87 bronco body

I have one of those somewhere in this house, I had a 1986 at the time (and a bunch of others, all years).

It's a lucky man who is flush with vintage Ford bodies

Except I'm talking about 1:1's, I have the 87 1:10 though...
