A knock out from E-Bay. Painted desert tan in honor of our troops in Iraq. I've been building it up extensively and will hopefully have the pics of what I've done so far. I don't plan on modifying the motor right now but maybe something a little more torquey in the future as I also found it to be a pretty good rock crawler. Here's what's on it so far:
1. Rubber sealed Ball Bearings
2. Mtroniks Sport RV ESC
3. Sanyo 2400mah 6 cell battery pack
4. NATO spec Machine Gun
5. Celica Gr.B Headlights
6. Custom TA01 bumper
7. TB-01 silver motor heatsink
8. Airtronics FM Receiver
9. Stock RS-540 Motor(good enough)
10. Tamiya aluminum motor mount
11. Front ball differential
UPDATE: Just replaced my Futaba ESC with a brandnew Mtroniks ESC Sport RV. This ESC has a higher frequency which gives it a smoother power delivery. It enabled the Hummer to crawl better.
3/6/05: It now has a 55T lathe motor and crawling has never been better. I just had to gear up the pinion to 20t to make up for the slow speed but I'm thinkin on going back down one to 19t. Lots of torque!
