Its alive!

Well I'm sure some fo you will have been reading my project thread on MSUK, but my X1-CRe is now finished so i thought I'd post up a few piccies of it
How it started, pretty empty looking


RC8Te battery tray modded and installed


ESC in and plastic spur installed


RX and Servo in


And the finished product






Its so quick, even on 4s. Currently geared for around 50mph and I'd say it definitely does that. The only oil I had spare for the diff was 3k though, so the front wheels do spin up quite a bit.

Looking forward to giving it a proper test on Sunday

Matt.

Matt that is a cracking job

well done, an a BIG pat on the back for you

cant wait to see this thing flying on sunday


but as you say, i would switch to a higher diff oil, when you can


ask nick they get VERY hot

Cheers Mark, it feels good to have something a little more custom than the usual stuff :D

Oh and I can't afford one of those Slipperentials, and to be honest I'm not sure on their reliability either I won't be running silly power all the time so I should hopefully be ok.

its awesome bud

an the slippers work really really well

but you do need thicker oil at some point

nice mat, the biggest problem i had was keeping the heavy batteries in. I have a spare RCM battery holder if you have issues looks pretty secure though
