Where abouts is that? I currently have an open challenge for any Xmaxx driver... £100 if they beat my YXL over the same grounds... £100 to me if they don't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QRC Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Got around to re mounting the Vanguard esc this afternoon on the new plate, only for the plastic holes on the sides of the esc just fall to pieces. Was planning just to stick down with Gorilla mounting tape and wrap cable ties around for good measure, but then thought better of it, no access to the receiver box. Had a quick check on YT, low and behold, there is Traxxas E revo esc mount/ clamp which fits perfectly, so ordered one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is held down with cheap double sided foam, it's been soaking wet and you can pick the car up by the ESC lol, it's really solid stuff, but if I can get some kind of clamp system like the 1/10 that would be a bonus!

Traxxas plate/ mount for esc, think it's for the the Monster Mamba, but should work with my Vanguard esc, part no. #5626. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Aye when I saw the price I took a punt on it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Couldn't believe the price with the word Traxxas associated with the part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 That's why I jumped on it in case they missed out a zero. That would be more like Traxxas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Can confirm that mount doesn't work with the QuicRun 150a... It was only 7quid with postage to find out, but it doesn't, it's not tall enough and the design at the top fouls the ESC so there's about an inch gap between the bottom of the bracket and the holes, so even if you modified it, you'd still need massively long bolts lol. Might try and modify it, but I can't see it being strong if I remove the material necessary. EDIT; I've modified it now, but I've cut away so much material, the arms feel very flimsy and I think on a decent impact, they would break, unfortunately I've not got the right length bolts, but it does fit into place, I've just ordered some bolts for it, so I'll give it a whirl and report back.

QRC Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Mine arrived in yesterday post, should get five minutes today, to see if fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 If you use the Castle/Axial ESC, then it should, in that guys video, you can actually see on the ESC itself, where those parts I cut off slot into. It was obviously designed with Castle ESCs in mind. I've ordered some 45mm M3 bolts anyway, which should reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 It does fit the MM2. I had it on mine. No adjustment needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I couldn't be bothered to go back and check what ESC he is using definitely isn't a direct fit on the QuicRun 150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want the expense of beadlocks and you want something stronger than the standard wheels, RCmart have an offer on Trenchers at the moment, it works out to about £72 for a complete set of 4 posted (free shipping atm on them) which is about £16 cheaper than MS, with the state of UK post atm, it's worth waiting an extra day or two IMO. http://www.rcmart.com/trencher-series-terrain-tires-mounted-tech-black-wheels-p-35784.html?cPath=35_994 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
