Or you can do a basic adapter like this if you dont want to solder new connectors. Just make sure the pos and neg are correct obviously. www.ebay.com/itm/393169729907?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=J5f-2z7STPS&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Get it going! I'm using a pretty basic Spektrum servo, S662. If I go brushless I will likely use a Hobbywing 10BL60 because I have one already, and a 4300kv motor. I'm going to try gearing first but I think brushless is the way to go just due to it being a sealed motor can. Theres a lot of dirt that gets flung into the motor area.

I agree, the stock esc had horrible control. Stock motor is actually really good with the HW1080

Thanks man!

Awesome little truck for the money. Great looking body

Thanks!

3542 - 2250kv outrunner (globact off Amazon) and a Castle Mamba on 4S

Wow! Thanks for the heads up, some bodies hold up way better but you normally dont know which until its too late. Ill def reinforce it. I'm making some tube steel bumpers as well.

Lol!!!

Already have one, lol. Its fun to experiment, these drive very different

That would be perfect, you def need to watch the power especially on 2wd. The law of diminishing returns... more is not better in this case

Awesome, You're going to love it!

It does! The slower movement also helps avoid a roll at times because it gives you a second to maneuver

Yes, I run EC5 on all my big trucks. You can find adapters to mount them in the original spot in the chassis

sort of, you do need to add oil to shocks, paint the body etc... Its a half assed kit. Lol

Did you use polycarbonate specific paint?

I've found that it bottoms out a bit too easily on rough terrain and kicks around because of it. It also really helps with jumping higher.

Thanks!

Thanks ✌

Def going to reinforce this one

Thanks!

Do you run the stock plastic gears i run mine on 2s and a brushless system and already striped gears once or twice?

@@laurenzholzer2441 plastic gears so far, but I went through the rear axle and cleaned and regreased everything before I ran it. Also got the slipper set pretty conservative.

Thanks! 40 sounds crazy for this truck, lol

Thanks!

Hello Scotland! Get one! Really nice kit for the money. There are steel gears available but they are like $110. I think brushless on 2s will be fine if you keep the punch set low and don't drive like a basher.

@rcilluminati26 Thanks mate.!! 👍 👍 You might have just helped me decide to get myself one.! 😉 😉 Hopefully I'll turn out to be as pleasantly surprised as I was when I tried my first Tamiya, again, it was the plastic gears that put me off, it turns out they're as tough as nails.!!! Oh yeah, it's definitely not a basher.! I barely drive my actual bashers as bashers tbh.! 😉 😉 I aim to have as much fun with my RCs as I can & take them home in one piece. It's nice to know my Mojave 4S or MT8 can do double backflips 60 feet up in the air, but I won't be trying it.! I much prefer to drive in a more realistic way... Also, I can't drive that well.!! 😂 😁 Cheers mate..! Subbed & liked & the very best wishes from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🙏

Glad I could help

I was thinking that but need to do more testing. Right now 25mph seems about right

Cool, did you see the new FMS Chaser? Mini solid axle trophy truck, looks pretty good for a backyard baja course

@ yeah i always come up with the idea for sumtin and someone comes out with it b4 i get 1 built lol i can't remember is it a moa

Awesome, thanks for the Sub!! enjoy your UDR when you get it. My go to method is E6000 in a very thin coat inside, let it almost dry then use Gorilla duct tape. Super strong and way easier than drywall mesh method

Do it! Its such a nice scale truck for the money. All it needs is basic electronics (recommend a gyro), some lights and a nice paint job.

I think thats the trade off for the heavy rear axle setup. The stock tires are pretty stiff and the cold makes it even worse so I'm thinking a lot of that can be tuned out eventually

Awesome, It def needs an interior. Happy to hear it holds up well in cold. I've broken a lot of plastic parts in cold weather so I hesitate to run some of my trucks this time of year.
