the plate for the speedo on the battery is what i was looking at,the only thing that worried me was the amount of heat that will get through from the speedo to that battery,

Is the hole in the finger meant for a screw or for air flow?!

Hi everyone. Just finished my 22 tonight and have just tested it outside. All i can say is wow!. I'm just getting back into racing and have decided to give off road a try. I have my first practice night next Tuesday at Teesside. The electronics install is probably not to everyone's taste, it's running Mamba Max with 7700kV motor, BMS 631MG steering servo, Futaba R153f receiver and Intellect 5000mah saddles. The Mamba was a nice snug fit and i will add some holes to the front after it's painted. Any advice for a noob is more than welcome.

Cheers

Lee

Looks like your rear shocks are mounted on the the wrong side of the tower ....

Here is my instal... took a bit of time to shorten the receiver wires and figure out how to place everything on the chassis; only thing left to get in the car is the PT and that will sit on top of the servo like many others have chosen to do so.

Looks neater with the motor wires etc going down the left and under the rear brace to the motor. Is that an LRP or SP speedo ? Looks more LRP. Will start my build tonight

Yeah, think it does look better with the wires down that side of the car, and yes it is a LRP SXX TC V2 esc. Added bonus was that the stock sensor wire fitted perfectly in the car so no need to go and get a different length lead

Enjoy the build... I did.

That's just showing off! Very tidy install and still some chassis visible! Wish I'd got those Losi Lipos now instead of saddles Looks like that motor wiring layout is 'the future'

OCD does have its advantages, obviously.
Tidy work fella.

I was waiting for the "Delves install" to see what CJ came up with...

One thing I do know is that the stock wires on an LRP are not long enough to allow some of the potential wiring layouts though.

What is that at the back? Is that a brass weight kit? I haven't looked into this yet but I know Losi are doing one for it.
