You guys know theres more then just mad that makes plug wires, right? can use whatever you want as long as it fits the hole in the coil.

 

[PortCityRC]

Yep figured might as well get mine done too while the weather is crap. ..Cleaned up the wiring in the box. Secured everything(servo voltage regulator, killswitch and buzzer) to the box lid with gorilla hot glue, I'll get pics tomorrow of the arrangement because the futaba receiver will not above battery fit if using 14.8 killer rc battery with the plugs sticking out, mewch better...shes fully ready

 

[Haric]

I have the wirings on the box lid also. The receiver on the side of the of the bottom tray or you can also put the receiver on the box lid held by Velcro, and also instead of using the padding that came with it, you can use Velcro to hold the battery down

and guys, FYI i’ve never drilled the antenna hole, and stopped drilling the killer rc indicator light. You have the option on how to setup your box, and not everyone run the killer rc indicator light.

Just got in a mode today when I was cleaning house said fek it because i had the extra antennas and mounts from some unfinished boat projects. I was also thinking about grabbing the super 3m velcro to use..its nice stuff, use it in my boats

 

[Haric]

Buy it from Amazon it’s cheap
This is the v1. I got this idea from one of the guys that bought my box

Is this what an rcmax with a non billet head looks like?

 

[PortCityRC]

????
Do you mean color on it as in anodizing?
This is a dual splash over black anodizing

Is this what an rcmax with a non billet head looks like?

No the bullet head is there

 

[PortCityRC]

Mine is just the head red anodized. @dougstar has my 65 fully red that I originally ordered, it's actually a pretty special engine not sure if he knows
Here's your non billet head rcmax engine..this is a 40gt

For anyone using irp hubs did you also had to shim them? Mine has about 1/4 of play.

 

[PortCityRC]

Mine have play too but I did not shim them, RCMAX makes their own upgraded 7075 sets now, I'm gonna check them out because I need about 3 more full sets anyways. https://www.rcmax.co.uk/product-page/brp-wheel-adaptor-losi-vekta-baja-rear
I have the same measurement of about 1/4"

 

[niz55]

These are the ones I got. Not sure if they are the new version of old.

[PortCityRC]

Them are the old style(IRP) which is what I have too. I know the studs are definitely upgraded on the new RCMAX adapters. Not sure if this tolerance is the same on them though. I'll order some monday

Little run vid for today, this 80 is stupid fast. Half throttle runs and she gets really wild, still haven't seen full power. I had an issue with the starter pawls on the flywheel

 

[siblues]

That thing is just insane and it sounds good too

 

[PortCityRC]

Definitely heavier diff fluid needed when the powerband hits hard, she wants to twist even being awd..you can see it in the vid, cant hold this open at all still need 2x the space and adjust the brakes a bit better, other than the starter pawls..drivetrains holding and I blipped it pretty hard a couple times even on pavement, and !!
