Just found out the Bullhead was running 14.8V!!!!

My Rough Rider before:

and after


Survived one practice round and 4 races though. I finished the last 2 or 3 laps of the last race with only 3 wheels.

The TRX-3 ran faultlessly but needed more power than the 27T motor could provde.

The blue Brat is my son's. He managed to break a different front suspension arm on every single race. Not so much bad driving but old brittle plastic I think. Also, no diff and standard tyres made it a bit tail-happy.
On the last race we had to bodge a broken lower arm to use as an upper one. A bit frustrating for him but a learning experience.

Here's a nice video of the Bullhead from the Monster Truck race



2 x Technigold motors
2 x Traxxas EVX-2 ESC
4S LiPo (14.8V)

My TRX3 racing at the event.



Concours:

The wheelie race - yep, I remember toy car racing, & why I gave it up...

Mental Bullhead - perfect example of why you don't make clods etc faster - having to be careful to avoid crashing because the more violent incidents cause more expensive damage, just isn't fun.

1st Feb at Surrey and Hants RCC

See if you can spot my Stampede and my son's blue Brat.
