Warbys LimitlessV2 build thread

[Warby]

I wasn't going to bother doing a build thread for this build as every man and his dog has already done one and mine is no different to most.

But I noticed I haven't yet posted a build thread on RCT and thought, what the heck.
Because this was unplanned, the photos were also not planned so are a bit all over the place, sorry.

This V2 Limitless roller was bought for me last year by my lovely wife. Little did she know that the initial cost of the roller was nothing compared to the overall cost to finish it .

My intent for this build is speedrunning (surprise surprise). I'll hopefully start off close to my Typhons PB and aim for 150mph. I wanted to also try products I haven't experienced before like Castle Creations and Perfect Pass. I also didn't want the electronics to be the limiting factor on this build. So the XLX2 was a no-brainer.

This 1/7th scale platform is completely new to me as well as the products I've added, so a lot of research and questions were required.

Parts I've fitted so far:
CC XLX2 esc
CC 1721-1260kv 8mm shaft.
CC 8mm bullet connectors
QS8-S connectors
PP monster servo and horn
PP Ultimate driveshaft kit & spool(very nice)
cf side skirts
cf front wheel space air dams
Alloy wing supports and brace
Plaig Bearings ceramic hybrid bearings
Radiolink R7FG rx
2x CNHL Racing 120C 8000mah 4s batteries
GRP GTJ04-XM3 slicks on rigid white rims
1M diff oil

Suspension has been tuned, diffs shimmed and 1m fluid. GRP have beed balanced.

Calibrated the xlx2 to the TX.
Downloaded Castle link and upgraded the software and adjusted some of the settings.

I've yet to decide on colours and paint the body.

Yes, this is a brilliant strategy by the Arrma marketing team who are husbands

Looks great so far!

Very cool. You have a spot to run this monster?

 

[Warby]

Yes a back road. It's no airstrip but it's been good. As long as they don't fit catseyes to it.

Catseyes I assume is reflectors? If so, yeah, those are easy to pull up

 

[TRAT]

Ohhhhhh I like!!!!

I had to Google it. It looks like it's also video surveillance?

Vaseline for those

They are reflectors in the middle of the road.

They have them in the southern states, like Texas, Not much snow or ice. We don't have them here where we live.

They have them everywhere. We have them here.

In Maine? Show me the way?

They have the ones that break off, so the paint guy has something to go on.

This build is just as interesting as the others, thanks for sharing.

 

[Doom!]

@Warby What a hunk of junk! Seriously what are you thinking I'd be embarrassed to share this. I will happily dispose of this for you to save you the embarrassment.

Lookin' good, can't wait to see it with the body finished.

 

[Warby]

Took the Limitless on it's maiden voyage yesterday. Well just a quick run up the street a few times just to test it. Went well, no problems. It drifts really well too. Nothing stopping me from doing a speedrun now except for finding the time to do it.

I still haven't decided on the paint yet.

 

[Doom!]

Looks like PS-23 is a contender.

 

[Warby]

Looks like PS-23 is a contender.

Yes it's on the short list but I'm still not sure. I like metallic colours like gun metal, grey, silver, etc but its not really practical for a speedrun car. I should paint it all one bright colour but I can't choose one. Bright so I can see it.

PS-23, PS-12, PS-58 and PS-30 with PS-31 windows, are on the list. Or a combo of some. But that could change tomorrow.

I should paint it all one bright colour but I can't choose one. Bright so I can see it.

If I had a Limitless it would be a neon or fluorescent color with black accents for that very reason.

Yer that makes sense. Idk why is paint colour the hardest decision on this build? I did think of buying a second body so I can have one for speed runs and one to look pretty but the limitless body is $$ and not so available over here.
