HPI Nitro MT Conversion

Figured I needed to build a Nitro eater.

Looks pretty normal, a sleeper some may say.





A little closer look reviels a few things.



Pull off the top and you find a Mamba Monster Max, and a feageo 9l and two 5000mAh Lipo's.







Can't wait to get some new tires and put it on a track

can you say over kill

if i was you i would pick up some diff's.

i know a fue plp that have done that with a mamba maxx and it killed the diff's in one pack but is shoud be fun.

you will have to get a vid of it so we can all see

Actually the diffs are doing pretty good so far, I replaced them with new ones when I first got it.
Aluminum diff cases and e-savage diff gears will go in it soon.

I havnt had a chance to try out the lipo's yat since I didnt get the plugs soldered on them, and get them charged up until it was dark and its been raining all day today.

Heres a few test vids running 3300mAh 6cell nimh packs.





These vids are from before I got my 2.4 radio and it was glitching like crazy and had very little range.
I guess MMM andAM radios don't get along well

that looks pretty awesome but i'm gunna say that maybe to much power for that truck. but you need a vid of it with the lipo's oh and you need to let me drive it

Well the first run with it blew up a tire, and destroyed the rear diff gears.
I've never seen a tire blow like this before.


Shot that chunk of tire about 25 feet in the air ""shudders"" man what a bang it made.

Second run, broke a dogbone, ran it 2wd for a while.
Got MT2 output cups, axle cups, and dogbones and new properly shimmed diff gears in it now.
Have run it around 6 times now with zero problems its a beast and I've gotten to where I can handle the power now via esc settings and learning what it will do.

I'm super happy with it, just a few more upgrades and it will be ready for about anything.
If you wanna drive it come on over I'll let ya

Was nice today so I figured I'd see how this thing did on lipo's.
I was beating it pretty good loving the new found power and agility from losing so much weight.
Well I knew I would need to upgrade the centers to MT2 before long well before long is now.
Well the heck with it I was only like 10min into the first run on the lipos and really wanted to see how long it would go before hitting the cut-off in front wheel drive so I kept pushing it.
Was still having a blast doing speed runs but 10min more goes by and I started hearing a funny noise. I looked it over and figured out what it was and was like the heck with it too late now to worry about it.

What was I hearing you may ask lmao.



lmao ok fronts are a little bald rite, worse









Oh well was fun, I was basicly testing out the lipo's and they did great the packs were still at 7.54volts each so I think I could get close to 45min easy on one charge.

Well new tires on it and MT2 parts on the way to upgrade the weaker MT parts.
I'll get pics tomorrow, had to some what clean my pig sty of a shop.

Ask freelife he was here yesterday lol

Nice one. Really interesting to se.
