Oily stuff

Very cool. What did ya think about it? Go together good?

Struggling mightily with the electronics but the 1st part of the build was so fun. All of the pieces fit perfectly. Well thought out and good detailed instructions. Great experience so far.
Forgot to take pics of me putting the wheels together
I didn't cut the body all the way down (yet?) In case I need to make adjustments since I had to mount the ESC above the radio plate (top chassis plate?) since the Mamba wouldn't fit. Also I need to touch up some spots and add more black to the part I'm pointing at since I think it will look better that way.My free Castle USB connect thing is coming in the mail today so I'll do that and then hopefully I can do the firmware update and use the Bluetooth connector properly.

Thank you

Did your body clear the esc?

 

[primebeatz]

I haven't tried yet because I'm still working on the wiring.

 

[WickedFog]

This is what the top plate used to look like...

And this is an aftermarket one that you mount the fan on it apparently.

 

[primebeatz]

I might need to order that old top plate

 

[WickedFog]

You have a dremel?

 

[primebeatz]

Yes... but I don't want to cut it!!!

 

[WickedFog]

Here is the upgraded one. You might ask the seller and make sure it fits your chassis.

Not sure why they closed that top plate off like that, but it wouldnt hurt to cut out an opening for the esc. That chassis is a lot tougher than most buggies. Hell, most are plastic nowadays.

Added carbon front and rear shock towers, titanium adjust rods front and back, front and rear stabilizers and gold shocks

Not finished with wire management but here is the body so far. I kinda like it without the wing . I also got Optima wheels but haven't tried them on yet

 

[WickedFog]

Very nice! Did you get a new body as well? Pics?

 

[primebeatz]

Changed the wing setting. I may paint it black
