Overkill Txt-1

[TXT overkill]

Here's an ongoing project that I've been working on for 8 years...

It runs 2 Reedy 15 turn modified motors

2 Super Rooster ESC's

and 2 3300 Trinity packs

I have been buying aluminum replacement parts because the soft plastic parts won't hold up to the torque... Let me know what you think.

why are you running two super roosters? one can handle those two 15 turns.

I used to run a TXT with twin 17 turn motors and twin 8.4v batteries (used 2 esc's too) and found the same problem you did forever ripping plastic parts to bits. The biggest problem I had was it ripping the upper ball links out of the top of axles I eventually had a bracket made over the top of axle with the ballends bolted onto that. Looks great, love the choice of bodyshell.

i ran 2 15 doubles on a 10 cell pack on my super rooster in a clod it flew! so you could put in 2 10 dobles and 2 10 cell packs for warp speed factor 10!!!

Just for the sake of insanity! Seriously, I just wanted to see what it would do, no real reason...

Haven't had a problem with ball links as of yet, but since you've mentioned it, I'll keep my eye on it. Thanks for the idea of a fix, in case I need to. Thanks for the compliment on the body. A friend's mom made little curtains for it. They look pretty good in there. I'll try to get a couple of pics of them.

LOL! Then all I'd need is a Starship Enterprise to put on there and I'd be set! "To boldly go where no R/C has gone before!" Thanks!
