JoeWorks Going Outlaw....RCMT-HI Outlaw Class That Is..
I paid $155 for my velineon esc and motor.
I just looked up, the motor alone, at tower, and its going for $75.
So, for a little over $200, you could run the Vxl3s esc, and 2 velineon motors.
I dunno if you can run 2 motors of 1 esc, but since it can handle 14 volts of power, I would imagine running 2 motors with less then 14v, would be no sweat.

Its the rc4wd 3mm aluminum ball ends that has been re-tapped to 6-32 to fit the TTR links.. Not sure of its durability and I'm not happy with its design where the ball sits a bit deeper then the plastic ones I've used in the past thus limiting its side to side angle.. I have managed to make it work but if I come across a different one I'll swap it out..
I like your design. Is there any improvements over the original?
Why did you use the Lundsford turnbuckles on your top links? Was it just laying around or is there a purpose for it?
Has anybody tried duel Tekin RS's and dual Brushless motors in a TXT-1?
I think you would just have more torque, more weight, and no advantage, but I'd like to hear opinions.
Thanks, and nice job on the truck

Back From The Dead..
Been out of racing for a while but now my outlaw is back and updated.
A complete redo to my RCMTC-HI Outlaw class truck that was completed with only a bench test the morning of our 2010 Wolds Finals with a poor first round and a lost in the final of the second round.
Overall I?m happy with the direction my current truck is going. It jumps well and with the center diff installed the truck is alot more stable and handles/distributes the power well and keeps the truck on all fours without pulling wheelies and get out of control when I peg the throttle. Of course my poor driving skill doesn?t help.:laugh
- Previous chassis went to my Mod 1 class truck and replaced it with my old v2 chassis
with the addition of an extension to lower the mounting holes for lower links based on
HawnMT?s droop setup.
- Link mounted the Losi crawler shocks with soft white springs using 45w oil
- 3/32? piano wire link mounted sway bars.
- Front axle with the BTA system stayed and had a rear axle lock out made since
I broke one side of the Cs during a previously bad landing. Stock track width with
factory wheel adapters.
- Replaced the first generation Emaxx trans with the current generation stuffed with
the available center differential with factory diff oil. Stock Traxxas E/Tmaxx drive
shafts links the axles to transmission. Transmission mounted in an angle to clear
the battery and to keep it centered from front to back and as low as possible.
- Replaced the Traxxas 3200 540 BL motor and MM Max ESC with a Novak 6.5 550
motor and MM max pro ESC powered by 2s lipo.
Upcoming improvements is replacing the sway bars to 1/8? or bigger and get new, better stickers made for the body and better driving skills.
