Really nice work....

 

[strodedawg]

[rampagemt]

That's a badd ass xb-e . Like how you used the losi center diff. That rides build like a tank there . I wanna see some speed runs lol

 

[Guest]

Nice build!

Are you only going to run one battery?

 

[strodedawg]

for now yes, trying to keep it light.

built an e-baja for someone with two 4s 5000mah packs and he gets 12-14 minutes of run time on the track. this is a higher c packs and i am only geared for about 36mph. lighter car hoping to get same run time. quals where i live are 10 minutes. mains obviously would be a problem, but i don't care to compete with gassers, trying to build the electric class - 7 min qual and 10 min mains for now. want reliability and durability right now as 5th escs are sketchy at best. also depending on the esc i purchase i have found some shorter but taller 5s lipos that would fit as a saddle pack in the rear.

Nice. Is losi center diff direct fit? or it requires some drilling and matching?

 

[Deluge]

That's awesome! Still impressed by the size of those shocks.
