My xbe to monster tuck build

[Knuckles]

So far this is what I got done, 7075rc c hubs,bearing holders,motor mount kit,custom made cap style hubs to fit my mcd tires and wheels, leopard 5698motor, castle creations xl-2 esc, 2 max amps 9000mah batteries, castle creation pro bec, truck front and rear bumpers. Have not even driven it yet. Will let you guys know how it works. The only problem I have is what to do with all of the stock parts I am not using anymore.

Working on it, I just had surgery. moving a little slow. Hoping to have them up in a couple of days.

 

[XDEEDUBBX]

Nice setup, I would suggest ditching the traxxas connectors. Are you going to be running 8s ?.

 

[XDEEDUBBX]

very nice. what body are you going with?

 

[Deluge]

Nice! Those MCD tires look good! I need a set for my MT.

Looks good. Anything with a wheelie bar is cool!

 

[Ron E]

looks great, very cool...

looks like a bigger version of my brushless losi lst.

That's pretty killer. Liking the tires on there.

 

[Keith81]

I like it, Looks good!

In testing it I tore up the plastic spur gear once I hit the hard packed dirt and tires got traction. 7075 is making me a metal spur gear, hopefully it solves the problem. Then I can see what breaks next. LOL

Tight fit?

Did the 5698 fit without modifying anything?

 

[Knuckles]

Just had to shave the inner support bracket because using a 9 tooth pinion it would not clear bracket. How is my steel spur coming along? Looking foward to driving it again.
