hey guys i shot a video of my driving my rusty...
IM running a 3300 MaH NiMh (8.4v?) 6 cell pack
the original upgrades are listed in the thread above
the battery is around 40% charge(its an estimate, it had started going a bit slower when i started to record this, so i figured 40% should be about right)
I also bought the stock xl-5 rusty front wheels(2.8, up from a 2.2)

-EDIT:
ignore the part when i zoom in, my camera was acting up.. and wouldnt zoom out
nvm its a 7.2v

[Donziikid]

If it is six cell it is 7.2V (1.2v/cell). ;)

Nice ride.

Cheers,
Kyle.

[mycrors4]

dangit! i knew it was either 7.2 or 8.4 thanx donzii

[lol]

You still happen to have the MSC? If you do, put it back on, and lets roll oldschool style with me, and XXX. :D

[mycrors4]
