Boats to braun, bring on the the bush!!

[millzee]

It's done, my head got the better of me so keep an eye out for discounts on my fe U-build packages so I can pay for this sucker. I plan on floggin the stock motor until it dies and then it'll get either a 960kv 2225 neu or a 725kv 2230 and a huge esc, as always I'd like overkill to limit the headaches. Thanks for all the help over the couple of years guy's, you have all helped me through detailed threads and answering all my silly questions over the years. The bomber boat is off to the St.John of God Hospital on the 17th for display until the gala fund raiser evening in Febuary next year, if anything good has come out of my crazy"FE" period in my life it was this boat, it means so much to our family now and you guys helped make it happen, I can not express my gratitude enough, thank you. This hobby has changed my "old ways" and for this I'm a better father, husband and person, again, thank you. I hope to move all the fe boats as me and my boy's bond better bashing trucks out the bush.

Have fun guy's, I'll be back when my boy's don't want to spend time with me anymore, see ya in a few years (I hope quite a few)

We're off to get this thing dirty, out!!



collection complete (for now)

Beastly truck there too!! Have fun with your boys!!

[millzee]

Thanks guy's, I'll be back!!

wow it's fun to drive and handles well but I'm yet to let it rip to hard for too long as I'd like to run the engine in a tad before I kill it too quickly.

I remember driving my xxl with a LRP .30 in it for the first time and all I can say is.................it's nothing like driving one of these big suckers, the sound, smell and feeling is what I've been laking since going brushless. I can say from my experience from switching and coming back to a gasser is yes, brushless will always have much more punch than a nitro or gas but for god sake after driving this afternoon I realise why I've been running my chainsaws the way I do, I love it. RrrrnRrrn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but what'ya I know.

1717 or 2028?

[millzee]

Done!!!
I ran out of free time to drive for too long but from what I've seen so far I like the truck and look forward to hitting the moto x track. I used a Mr 3000 so I plugged the brake servo into the 2nd throttle input an adjusted it so it runs free until the servo pulls the mech brakes into play, I have the front a little tighter than the rear atm and the brake setting on the esc at 40% and it pulled up well after some fine tuning on the tx, trust me, when this thing is doing 70kph toward you and you jam the brakes on it brings a rush of blood to the system for that split second when you think you may have two broken legs, lol. I ran for around 20 minutes including adjustments, a few speed runs and a few donuts/ playing in the dirt and the packs only half empty, temps where all good but we'll see how things go at the track. Weight distribution seems to be ok at this point after a few throttle punches over the speed humps in the park but I want heavier springs before I'll jump it too big.
I'll try getting some video soon but I have the bowls open on Saturday and a bloke has entered me in a tournament on Sunday so this week ends out, I might have to get out of work one day this week, damn good weather!!
