well i bet you thought i had dumped my 1/6 beetle .lol not so .good progress has been made .the esc and reciever are installed .also the hobby servo .this was buy far the most difficult to install .due to the hobby servo being very large .the stock location for the servo is underneath the chassie .this space was to small for the hobby servo so i had to build a platform inside the chassie.much cutting and fabrication work .but i got there. here are a few pics .


One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem. ~Alexander Jodorowsky.....

the white substance you see is a strengthening filler from most auto shops it will be sanded down and painted black like the rest of the chassie . Cool

yeah I saw the fitted one before but didnt know what she was.
What do you know about the titan 12 turn 550's I just obtained 2 of em and not sure what to add them too. for options I have, clod crawler, or a 2 wheel drive hummer like your bug. I am not sure if they are a speed motor or a torque motor. I know they are low turn so they should be speed but they are 550's?

She is looking good M8 Smile

E-MAXX has different Titan motors then the Rustler etc. 12 turns motors. E-MAXX is a 23turn

From what I hear the Titan is a sealed motor so when it goes your all done with the motor. Can't replace brushes etc. A 12T would have a problem getting up the power to run something like a big tired or heavy R/C, Possibly fry the motor just trying to get it to move.

I`m not sure how long the motors run, before the brushes etc give up the ghost.
