Why does everything have to be negative? With due respect learn the whole story before you make comments.
I met alex (thepopenj) at the track, his first time racing, he ended up needing a part for his savage, but didn't know anyone. So i went around to all the people i could, running around...
The power system ismy own. no electronics were donated (aside from a steering servo) Receiver, Mamba monster and Castle 2200kv motor are my personal units.
I don't think I mislead anyone? The tvp's, suspension, body mounts, shock towers, shocks, etc were donated I just happen to be the recipient.
yeah I remember now.
Change of plans

Another Big up date. scavenging around the shop today i was trying to figure out a way get the steering installed.. My main problem was finding bearings to fit in the steering assembly. The answer came in the form of bearings from an old transmission out of an electric duratrax evader... Next...
SOOO. finally
ARound 11 alex dropped off the parts for my truck. come to find out he left the transmission home, so no motor mount or anything.
Then sifting through the parts, i found that it didn't have any suspension hinge pins... So Try and find substitutes, wait and get them or make my...

Mounted my wing on the wing mount, ready for everything else. I get the things tommorow!
Not entirely true.. all depends where you get them

AJ, look into the Hyperion Gx/vx series...
To my dismay, the Hpi motor clamps are not going to work :(.
one of them will fit on the front of the motorr, but the rear clamp just wont work.. So, on to the alternative. I'm going to make a standard motor plate out of 1/4in 7075 aluminum stock, and bolt it to the flux motor plate and braces...
Werks B5 is best bang for the buck.. alex.. too much power is a bad thing at trax70, too much wheelspin.. run a non modded .28 or .21... power doesnt win you the race and i doubt that motor will have anything to nut up with in comparison to some of the other mills out there....
