TOPIC:

so i got no videos from the skate park, and there is too much destruction if i take it there, so no skate park bashing anymore
i was thinking of upgrading the esc and motor and battery for a bit more power and cooler running temps
after my holiday, i will probably be getting a quadcopter from hobbyking as well as the esc and battery, not 100% sure if i should upgrade the motor

with this esc you can hook it up to your computer and tune it with software

i have the ball bearings, they make it run so much smoother
i will be getting the esc, my one is saying it is over heating (95C) but it is cool to the touch, and the 60A will be much better
found a different battery that will fit a little bit better than the one i listed
once my brother finishes sorting out the pics from our holiday i will upload them

pics from my holiday


love this pic










hmm might need sway bars
i couldn't be bothered putting the fron on
the tires i bought for the warhead have great grip (the tires in this image are those)
they are wearing out so i will buy some new ones
one of the front rims are in 5 pieces, the tire is holding it together





trying out the stock tires on sand, they are HORRIBLE, if you get one of these, change the tires ASAP







the rims got caked with sand, this made them un-balanced, this made the rear tires shudder, and hard to control

my chassis came, the hobbyking order with my esc and battery came
the chassis is for a different model so it doesn't fit. the diff holes are a bit further apart and the bumper mounts are too close to the diff to fit the bumpers.
i was also thinking of making a full new chassis with 3 diff mounts for a 6X6

ANNNNND the esc died before i even got to run it

i was thinking of using the aluminium chassis and making a trail truck from it with the jeep shell
should i?

badword! I was thinking of getting one of them? What happened to it?

one of the mosfets died, i think it was a dodgy one. i am trying to get a new one with warranty but the hobbyking support isn't the best.
when it was working it was great i could see how slow and fast it could go. i used the hobbywing software on my pc and updated the firmware to unlock the turbo mode
hope i get a new one soon

i managed to make the aluminium chassis work . i swapped a few of the steering parts with the warhead and moved a body post around. now when i order a new esc i will get stuff to make a battery holder. the old chassis had one molded in

anyone have a spare painted wild willy helmet they won't mid parting with?
