she’s going 8S boys! Swapping out the 4985 for a 4990!View attachment 354311

There’s been quite the pause on this build. Turns out the Vitavon 6S shafts do not work properly with the factory Arrma 29mm EXB diff cups. The Vitavon shaft is 1mm longer than stock, and that combined with having a rounded shaft end keeps it from being able to seat properly, and pushes the hub out where the tire had positive camber. I fought with Vitavon for 2 weeks on the issue. After they refused to do anything I finally just gave up and ordered the Vitavon EXB diff cups to be done with it, then waited 2 more weeks for those to come in.

I think this one turned out beautiful! I’ll have to weigh it with the stock body, but it should come right in at the factory weight, even with all the motor and aluminum component upgrades.

No battery weigh in

A good balance with these batteries. It should be right on the money with 8S batteries.

Nice catch on this and good info for those wanting the Vitavon shafts.

The whole build is really nice!

I took this out for its maiden voyage today. “Oh my!” is all I was thinking lol. On 6S it is controllable, but still silly fast. I was halfway on the trigger when I put the hammer down. It pulled a wheelie so hard it scraped the top of the back bumper. I was in awe, I cannot wait to see it on 8S… and to get some footage. I left my GoPro at the house
