TheDriver Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Finally got to take out the Mte today, running on 6s. My first time running 1:8 scale. Im shocked..its a beast. Dangerous in the hands of a novice driver. I noticed mention in this thread of running on 5s...how are people doing that, a single 5s battery? I might try a pair of 2s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try a pair of 2s 5s is matching 2s and 3s in seriers same as 6s, personally I found 5s to be the trucks sweet spot.. If you want a matching pair of lipos give me a pm as I still have mine and I'm sure we could work out a deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Got it today Took it out of the box that's about it. Will give it a check over and change a couple of things. Just noticed I've a SkyRC 1550kv in my repertoire so may throw that in on 6s for runtime and keep the speed sensible Don't want to kill the 2200kv one just yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Bloomin' ebay purchases Looks like I'll have to go with the 4082 1600kv Leopard. Who's idea was it to put the motor mount that far back? The Skyrc motor I wanted to use only has a 15mm shaft so the pinny isn't on the shaft much when fitted. Might look at making a new mount or new mount slots if I can be bothered. The wiring/soldering on the Max8 and Castle copy is atrocious so those won't be up for sale, they'll have to go in something else once I tidy those up. Had a deans series harness lead on it that was only 14awg cable as well And one of the wheels is dodgy so can't shift those either. Camber & toe are all over the place. Just changed the steering mod, it was at 44mm which didn't look right to me so I've made a bar at 48mm which does look better. It could do with a bit taking out behind the diff to give it more throw tbf but not sure you can yet. Keep me busy messing for a bit. At least I've 1 clean & 1 basher shell I suppose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazp1976 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Well. Still going over my purchase. Just noticed the chassis has a sideways bend in at the front at the kick-up point Not major though so I'll live for now. Stuck a Skyrc TS150 and Leppy 4082 1600 in it. Gone for 18t pinny as a start point with Proline Shockwave/Desperado boots. Thinking Black for the clear shell. Shame for the nitro cut-outs on the other, quite like the orange/black.
