I did this exact build but I did it with a redcat Wendigo, because the windigo is a rock racer it's super beefy it has a super thick chassis it has beefier four-link it has a brushless system it's just an all-around tuff truck that looks exactly like a crawler, but is built to go up and over rocks quickly and take some abuse, but I tried every wheel assortment there is and try to get the lightest clodbuster size wheel, and no matter which one I put on there it just seemed like it was so heavy on the truck, but I could put all four actual clodbuster Wheels which are some of the heaviest on a two-wheel drive stampede and it handles them like nothing, it feels very strong and not like it's putting a tremendous weight on it, what are your thoughts on the feeling of the wheels and stuff and spacers on the truck???🤔

I love these wheels and Tires, and they come with the wider offsets. But I still added a +10mm portal extension from "HOT RACING" so I have plenty of room to turn such a big wide Tire. The Tires come in two compounds, the blue is the soft, and the gold is the firm. The blue weight for one is 12.1oz and for all four it's 3lb 1.6oz I am also running a savox 500oz-in servo that helps greatly improve the steering with the 4" wide Tires. I was running the stock XL5HV with 17-39 gears, and I swapped it out for the Hobbywing quickrun fusion pro. Geared 22-39 and its stupid fast for what it is!!! The stock 550R motor was fine for the power and speed, but I was wanting crazy long runtimes. So that is why I swapped over to the Fusion.

Okay, so I have figured out my favorite settings with this Fusion 2-in-1 2300kv. I run these numbers now because I can be running 100% throttle, to 0% throttle. And now the truck slows down within around three feet, and it still has 100% drag break!!! So I can scale trail run it, and rock crawl it all on the new settings. I do have to use throttle for descending hills now, and if I should happen to Squirrel and let off the trigger. I don't have to worry about it rolling away. 1 = 1 2 = 1 3 = 3 4 = 1 5 = 2 6 = 1 7 = 9 8 = 2 9 = 4 10 = 9 11 = 9 12 = 9 13 = 3

Holy Hannah, I never seen this comment! I am sorry for this!! I use the garden hose after the run, then the air compressor until it looks about 95% dry. Then I take a hairdryer and heat up the truck overall and it always looks newer for the most part. Also I use WD-40 in the transmission and axles. Because I don't have any grease in any of the bearings. I also removed all of the inner bearing seals, and added 3mm set screws for the addition of the WD-40.

Beautiful bike !
Thank you!!!
my trx4 with traxx came with 11t..if i put the 16t will it go faster?? nive video btw. thanks
Yes it will go faster with the 16t pinion, but you have to be careful with the motor temperature 🌡 not to exceed 180°f.
The traxx have a lot of rolling resistance and this will also shorten your batteries runtime.
That is a beast!
She runs pretty good!! And Thank you for stopping by!!!

But can you do a back flip
I am not really sure about the back flip possibilities.
Okay, so I have figured out my favorite settings with this Fusion 2-in-1 2300kv. I run these numbers now because I can be running 100% throttle, to 0% throttle. And now the truck slows down within around three feet, and it still has 100% drag break!!! So I can scale trail run it, and rock crawl it all on the new settings. I do have to use throttle for descending hills now, and if I should happen to Squirrel and let off the trigger. I don't have to worry about it rolling away. 1 = 1 2 = 1 3 = 3 4 = 1 5 = 2 6 = 1 7 = 9 8 = 2 9 = 4 10 = 9 11 = 9 12 = 9 13 = 3
Thanks for putting your programming numbers up! Great video! Sub'd!
@@eyeofth3b3hold3r you are welcome! And thank you for stopping by!!
Holy Hannah, I never seen this comment! I am sorry for this!! I use the garden hose after the run, then the air compressor until it looks about 95% dry. Then I take a hairdryer and heat up the truck overall and it always looks newer for the most part. Also I use WD-40 in the transmission and axles. Because I don't have any grease in any of the bearings. I also removed all of the inner bearing seals, and added 3mm set screws for the addition of the WD-40.
What pinion and spur are you using? Correct me if im wrong but the 775 motor uses a 5mm shaft, and the fusion pro uses a 3.2mm?

I was running 14-68 for first test, but I swapped out to the 22T and this was the biggest pinion I could fit. That was for the speed run test.

How long have you been running it like this? Did you have any problems with overheating?
Im looking to upgrade my stock 775, besides the pinion anything else you changed? Was it pretty much drop and install?
Looks perfect like that👍🏼👍🏼
I love the street truck look! And wish that horizon hobbies would not have discounted the Duratrax Tires. I will find a new set of mud slinging Tires ;}
That wintergreen is 👌🏻
Really wanted to buy the black core 1, but it was sold out. The the core 2 went on sale for $1'200 I was so happy that I missed the core 1!!!.

How long was the shipping
10 days.
And that was going to Idaho Falls I.D. .
@@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT thanks
How fast does she go on the flats compared to a roadie or recumbent?
25-MPH full tilt, but she's pretty heavy! Like 38lbs. So I can't hold it very long!! But the ride is so comfortable!!! You can spend hours riding and not really know it. Its wonderful!!!!!
I pedaled up the biggest mountain I could find for a down hill speed run. And running in high gear, all I could get was 42-MPH. I have added a little skinnier set of Tires and she handles extremely well!!! But its a little different ride, because of that 51" wheel base 🤔
@@BUILTLIGHTWOUNDTIGHT 25 mph even for a little bit is pretty darn fast. Does your butt slide off the seat when going full till tilt on the flats? Even cruising speed sounds like it can go faster than a typical upright.
@@deltafour1212 butt stays planted due to the awesome backrest! And of course pulling hard on the handlebars, because my legs are so far forward. At cruising speeds I usually run in 14th, so the middle gear up front and high gear out back. I think its a little slower at the cruising speed, because you can't really tuck from the wind. Its like I'm pedaling around on a well broke-in lazy boy recliner 😈 So I can pedal it for days and not even feel any fatigue. Would be awesome if I could have a 700C version of it.
I pulled a 700X38C off one of my other bikes, and it bolts right up! But I would have to remove the rear bracket above the rear tire for the extra clearance needed. I think if I could buy the Samson version, I could pull off a 700c wheel set. Then I would think the overall cruising speed might come up a little bit, because of the weight savings. And less rolling resistance.
