So after getting the ProPulse back from zippo with its upgraded and finally working steel diffs and now almost fully re-enforce drive train and after ProPulses first day out in the woods I finally have some new parts, so far only one has shown its face but the other should hopefully be here in the next day or so....





Oh and if this seems familiar its probably because you've already seen it in Zippos thread

More photos:







Finally think I've got everything dialed in correctly... the brushless is mean... the slicks hook up nicely... the suspension is just about right... the drivetrain is pretty solid except for the fact that the diffs unscrew themselves in about 15 minutes

Will try for video soon.....

i'm going to have to wait to take mine to the tennis court to see how it is compared to the sidewinder. but if its anything close, you can turn any tires into slicks and your parts are in the mail

More updates...

Chassis is pretty much done and about as rock solid as you can get:





There was another sale over on MegaTech so I decided it was time to switch from my rather beaten black body to a sexy new blue one:




As MegaTech had them listed as a buck each I also grabbed a buggy shell:




Obviously it needs the correct mounts installing but I figured it was good to have it as a spare and I can pickup the parts as I find them.

I also purchased the official MegaTech 12v adapter:



Now I can put my quick charger to good use and charge each of my packs in about 30 minutes which is way better than the 8 hours it takes with the regular charger.

Next upgrade will be more power.

Buy a real charger with adjustable charging currents (most cheapos now come with 0.1A to 5.0A!) and you'll never look back.

She looks as solid as a rock. Probably weighs as much as one, too.

Very clean, B1G. Certainly jealous of all that blue alloy.

Cheers,
Kyle.

I'm going to convert to LiPo at some point so I'll buy a decent charger then for now the official ProPulse Quick Charger will do for the 4 battery packs I own.

LiPo? Oh geez.

What's the MegaTech/MegaPro/ProPulse brushless ESC rated for voltage wise? 7.4v? 11.1v?

I'm not 100% sure, the ESC does come with a programmable LiPo mode but looking at the instructions all I see is

"Up to 2 to 3 Lithium Polymer Cells"

I'll have to do some more reading for exact figures... I'm sure its on here somewhere...

So I picked up a Prerunner body as part of a big parts buyout from another member, he had cut it so that it could be run on a ProPulse, so I slapped it on mine it needed (and still needs a few minor) adjustments to get it sitting right, also the support posts on the ProPulse need to be lowered a notch otherwise it lifts up at the front end but I got to say that I'm pretty happy with it

The choice of aftermarket bodies for the ProPulse is limited and anything you buy needs some adjustment, I'm digging this one because it makes the ProPulse seem so much bigger....





Will have a go at stripping the paint and putting a new color schema on when I get a chance....

Yeah I really like it its not the prettiest body in fact its kinda squat and ugly but it changes the whole PP appearance which is why I think its pretty sweet.

Next will be power upgrades.
