Just useless with no video shame on you! LOL j/k but sure wanna see it in action. These mamba monsters sure perform well, mine after about 15mins never broke a sweat motor only got 111 and fan never kicked on. Read somewhere the degree it kicks on but dont recall maybe 150?

Yes, 150 degrees, I read the manual Sat night soldering on new Deans plugs..
I think the fan only kicked on because it sat idle while I pushed the WC back across the parking lot onto the sidewalk. Man, I'm out of shape this winter I spent way to much time couped inside. I haven't gone anywhere in months. :bang My fault, been trying to save EVERY penny to buy a savage new. I think the last time I went someplace was December :shk
Now when the BLUR ESC shows up from HPI I have to e-bay it and pay my mother back. I couldn't wait, power hobby had this castle monster in stock and it's close enough I get items in 2 days.
Awesome to have a mom like that my friend! Grandmas rock to, mine supported me a long time in this.
Tell ya been couped up myself with the slump I got myself into last several months and was a blast to 2 things run rc's again and meet a good guy as well, were already talking about a may 1st outting in my area next :tmb
To bad your a little to far away lol come and have to test drive that freak for ya :laugh:shk

That thing runs very well tho, turns really good figured it would take more space then that. To bad that fence was there could try for some air! Looks like you were gonna hit that van at the end and had to bail lol :tmb

I like vimeo better, haven't even looked to see if the youtube loaded. Figures they nuked it, but it's on the other Vimeo vid, oh yeah spiderman :tong
As for turning, I'm happy. People kept telling me I messed up by widening it with the XL axles, hey it's only an INCH total. :bang I am going to leave the diffs as is. They're stock, it turns and traction is good so why mess with it?
Going to get the adjustable upper arms and sway bars though, it's only like 34 bucks from TCS for both.

Soilwork (John) drove the ''Freak'' today. I think he was impressed for the short time he drove it. I would not be surprised if he doesn't build one once he has his home in order.
The run was cut short, wheel fell off. Lost a barrel or cylinder nut that holds the integy 17mm adaptor on. I think I'll opt for red loctite on them when the replacement arrives. I have a mini/micro hobby torch if I need to remove it again.
