So, since yesterday's update didn't have any pictures, here's to make up for that!
Here's a mid shot of the buggy, with the battery lying as low as it can.
This next picture shows the capacitor I had to put in the kit. The reason being is that the high powered savox servo was cutting power to the ESC when it was pushing a bit of weight, drawing more voltage. The capacitor is the exact same as the spektrum one you can buy except I made this one myself. This distributes the current evenly throughout the electrical components. ESC / MOTOR FAN / SERVO.
I thought it may be worth measuring the height of the 4s pack in it's new set-up. Taking into consideration the ruler doesn't start at the bottom. So it read about 4CM give or take a few mm from the side mud guard of the chassis.
This next picture shows the gap between the battery and the spur gear
Here we have my temporary fix of the front a-arm, 3 cable ties does the job
Next up, the battery tray mod to accommodate my large 4s lipo. This is only necessary because the pack I have features wires that come from the side, not the bullet style that are directly in the casing which are only used on hard case cells.
My Spektrum radio and the buggy after It had been out for a pack in the rain
I get atleast 25min runtimes with the 4s 5000mah pack. and the motor stays hot but still touchable. and the battery is at room temperature. Esc is warm.
I am having trumendous fun with this buggy! but I still don't think I'm ready to cast a final thought on the buggy.
So within the next few weeks, I should get to the track, and have my mind set about the buggy.
Cheers
