.AJ. Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Kit arrived to today and built it up in a few hours this afternoon, no real problems, but the diffs were as fiddly as I remembered Just trying to decided what esc to run, think im going to give one of these a gohttp://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-quicrun-10bl60-sensored-bl-esc/rc-car-products/382832 Edited April 30, 2014 by .AJ.

silone74 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Looks a good esc to use, I am using 60a trackstar esc I had to raise the body mounts but I am happy with it. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Cool, I'll just run XB4 body mounts like I did on my old buggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I need to shorten the wires and tidy it up when I get a chance, raising the body gives quite a good amount of space under there so it opens up alot of choice for esc's, I could probably stick the fan back on but don't see that it needs it really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Been on a shopping spree this morning, ordered everything I need to crack on with the build Hobbywing Quicrun 60a esc Programmer card Solder 14awg wire 2x Lipos XT60 connectors Xray body mounts And a few other bits Edited May 3, 2014 by .AJ.

chewbacca Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I run the 60a v2 in my Baby Badger, it's a great speedo for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Some bits turned up this morning so been cracking on with the build Still waiting on the lipos and bullets to connect up the motor, as you can see I'm modding the battery/esc position and running smaller 1300mah lipos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Spun the esc round and now I can fit the fan The battery posts are just mocked up in position, once the lipos arrive I will drill and fix them in place and fab up a strap from some 1.5mm carbon fibre sheet I have 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 Are they sos carbon or the lc carbon top deck and towers, I use long batteries so have to mount esc on the top deck, gotta love the shiney newness Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Yep SOS, I had good luck with their parts on the first EMB-1 I had, the idea of running the esc on the chassis is to drop the COG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) These seem pretty tough to get hold of, are they discontinued? I couldn't see them in stock at Apex. Just read AJs first build, look like a great little buggy a & fun build too! Edit ! Just found them! At Apex too.

silone74 Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 (edited) I would run everything on the chassis if it would fit. The front sos cf tower I had snapped I have the v2 sos tower but not had chance to fit it yet but I do like them. I think wheelspin have them in stock Edited May 3, 2014 by silone74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 My first one came from Apex, they had to order it in for me though, this one came from a Wheelspin and was instock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) A couple updates on my build Now got alloy hex's (GPM M8's) and M8 soft springs The new front springs are a lot softer than the stock fronts and the rear are about the same taking into account that they are a touch longer Also got some RPM rod ends I couldn't decide what colour to go for Edited May 9, 2014 by .AJ.

RadicalEdward83 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Depends on what colour wheels you are going to be running? I would have to say white if it was me to go with the white colour on the shell... but then I would have to run white wheels... lol... I have OCD when it comes to stuff matching... lol...

.AJ. Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I'm thinking white as well If anyone wants to buy the yellow ones let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 The alloy and spindles look awesome but are a bit over priced imo compared to the price of the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, have you any photos of them fitted with the esc in that position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
