I was going to run my xb but I blew the front wheel drive. So I ran my shreeder for the first time. Please note the grass was high cuz the park districk did not cut the grass.But the shreeder plowed right thru it. The driver is angry records (his first time with a bigger electrick) the female voice is the camera woman Andrea (angry records main squeeze) the voice in the back ground screaming don't worry about reverse go forward is yours truly. th_001-3.webp

I don't know but gaurnteed it will be faster on packed dirt or concrete. Rolls very smooth.Also should have more zip and run time with 5000 mah batts.The batts. in the shreeder were the 3200`s.
 
My friend Rob and I had fun driving the car. It will be much faster on hard surface for sure, this was the first run ever out of the box though so the high grass wasn't so bad incase anything happened, my gf and I are going to get the xt and have some fun with it. I'd say for the price and size this is a great start. You can always change it up on the esc, run in parallel for longer run times as well as use bigger batteries etc. You could always put a different esc and motor on it as well i'm thinking for other purposes, haha I think the build is sweet though and the car is virtually weightless compared to the rampages, etc.
 
About 15min for the stock 3200 ,2s,20c.I`m hopeing for 30 minutes with 5000 mah,40c,4s. We have a local 1/5th track here in the chcago area, packed dirt,but I just haven't had a chance to get on it yet. Rest ashured I will have a video,I probably will be chaseing light force.(off the track) ha ha only kidding cuz it will take a hell of a platform to chase lightforce off the track.

Hi Cordy I just bought another V4 MT and I`m modifying converting chassis drivetrain and handling/steering to be a race buggy . This weekend might be ready(Hope). But will have to take it easy cause it`s new:)mhmph
 
Hey Cordy I am thinking about buying that car or a Rampage xb what's the max cell that car can take? and which battery would you use to get about 30-45min run-time.

4s on the Shredder and 6s on the XBE. For a 30-45 run time you'd need 10000mah at least. You could get an adapter made to run the batteries in parallel.

OK thanks.
 
Ok don't put your stock batterys in parralell,if you put in 4s batterys you wire them in parralell. Putting the batterys in parralell will give you longer run time but it will lower your voltage,so 4s would be 14 volts but in parralell would give you 7volts I think. Putting in 6000 2s 20c may give you about 30 min run time. To wire it in parralell you need to make a parralell harness and jumper. You can get the bullet connectors from ep buddy in ohio. I am shure others will chime in as I am new to electric and learning as I go.The esc will handle 4s but thats tops nothing bigger.
