anything rated for 6-10 cells and modified motors should be pretty much fine running a reasonable brushed motor (13 turn at the lowest?). Lipo or Nimh, but you just need to realize that these older esc's were not rated to run for more than 6-8 minutes, so heat is the dominant killer, running longer ...

I run several vintage ESC and motor combinations and have no issues. I don't run lipo. NiMh and some older 3000 mAh NiCds - everything works just fine. I have a couple Optima Mid's and my favorite has a LeMans 240SB (that's an old 30,000 RRM mill) with a vintage Tekin 411G. No issues and everything ...

My printing company offers it as an option. And ORB delivers dyed parts too

And then here are the final final pics after applying all the decals. Funny, the instruction manual actually contains a guide on where to place everything to match the box art, BUT they actually miss a couple of them.... so keep a keen eye if you want to match the box art. 20191007_180623.jpg 201910...

Wiring still needs a tidy, and the wing side panels fell off mid-race and i only had black servo tape available on the day.... but at least you get an idea for the set-up. Now it has had a run, and freed off a little i am totally blown away by how efficient the drivetrain is. Virtually zero resistan...

Fusion Speed Build No. 2

I won't post too many pictures until it has safely landed on my doormat, but this thing is completely bonkers. I am also really pleased to say that it is the 4wd version.... something that i had never seen or heard about previously.

Quick teaser:-

The motor guard is finished (.060" aluminum). I have an original Ultima motor mount plate but it's bent and has a stripped screw hole so I've gone ahead and made a replacement using the same .090" aluminum plate material used to make the front kickup plate. P1010532.JPG P1010531.JPG A simp...

XLR8 what did you use for the chrome strip around the door ways ? Looks really nice , the whole truck looks very nice . Thank you Dadio. I have a roll of adhesive-backed aluminum foil tape that came from Lowes - it's meant for sealing HVAC ductwork. The foil is thin and has no coating so it stretch...

Ok it's a roller now. Super stoked how this has turned out. I have a new reciever and new esc I will install shortly.

I just won a PB on eBay but I'm not sure if its a mini mustang or a maxima , what are the key differences between them ? Amongst other things: - Mini Mustang has the same upper and lower arms front to rear, full chassis, ball joint hubs, and coarse pitch belt. img154_01102014013235_2.jpg img154_011...

Vote for Demon ESC they have similar second side of esc maybe it's good clue.

Quick question , is there any issue fitting a Maxima body and under tray to a Mustang ? You may need to check the fitment around the rear arms, as the Maxima uses a slightly different setup compared to the Mini Mustang. You might also want to check the chassis shape, as the Maxima is obviously comp...

The fist time i test drove the Mustang i managed to put i minor gauge in the fiberglass chassis plate at the front and looking at other peoples cars this seems to be common so i drew up and printed a little nose cap for the front and a strip that goes along the center spine and under the diff at th...
