I know I need to buy some extension wires.
But wondered if there was a specific harness I need or if I can just plug these fans into fans into the top 3 channels?
Or something completely different?
Max 5 g2/56118, Monster perfect pass servo with stock XRT receiver
Or do I need to upgrade my receiver too?
Building my version of an XRT Ultimate.
Still waiting on some vitavon and m2c parts to complete the build but the fun stuff arrived today!
It’s freaking heavy!!
Shock upgrade inbound
Hoping I didn’t go too big here.
No regrets as of yet, hoping I made the right choice with the thermaltronics but time will tell.
Still waiting on my mod 1.5 gearing triple fan setup and rear motor brace from vitavon.
M2C esc plate and adjustable motor mount should be here soon too.
Can’t wait to get this beast dialed!!
In your opinion what’s the best truck or buggy out there?
Can be geared more toward bashing or realism just wondering what else is out there.
Looking at the new losi 5ive as well as Kraken vecta 5 and just got thinking what else I’m missing?

Not sure how I ended up with this list but it’s all here or on the way. Hoping to get a 55mph truck I can still bash.
Am I crazy or is this a good setup?
Still in my planning and parts ordering stage but one of my final thoughts were what about my lights?
I actually like using them for a visual of the truck at distance.
I guess I don’t necessarily need the brake lights to work or reverse but if I could keep that functionality somehow be cool.
Otherwise is there a way to keep using them just on all the time?
If I have to I’ll shelf them and buy a different kit of some kind too.
Any suggestions?
Thank you and happy bashing
Doing a final sanity check before I pull the trigger here and order everything.
Everyone has been a great help in deciding what soldering iron to go with, appreciate it much, thank you.
Upgrading my XRT and want to make sure I’m purchasing the right parts 1st time.
Any other recommendations for cooling or a better motor esc combo?
Looking to get 50-55mph out of it with 20/46 gearing to start and eventually plan on going mod 1.5 possibly and upgrading all diffs.
Am I thinking right here?
Happy Bashing!
Going to install a better motor and esc in my XRT.
Is the iron I pictured a good starter set?
I’ll be soldering qs8 connectors and possibly 8 gauge wires.
I was going to order a few extra tips in different widths as well as some rosin solder.
Sorry if this comes up often, just looking for a sanity check or want to make sure I’m buying the right tool for the job.
Any recommendations or tips are appreciated, happy bashing!
Went from maxx to Xmaxx and got a little over confident, oh well parts are cheap;)
Happy Bashing
I’d like to keep performance the same so don’t want to change gearing just looking for a more durable option if it’s available for the XRT.
