MC201's Propulse

Wen't to rat shack had tons o upgrades for 2 dollars so I swept the place clean. Just need a good motor...

nice i just got one and a bunch of stuff for like 55$ they gave me 4 hop ups for free with the truck (buggy) but any tips for a new owner?

If you run yours a lot like mine, get a rebuildable motor or brushless as you willl go through a motor in about 3 months if you ran mine as often as I did. Deffinetly watch out for the stock shocks, they tend to leak easily but my new threaded aluminum ones look great so I can't wat to give them a run for their money! Make sure your spur pinion mesh are very good, cause this will make your gears last A LOOOOONG time. I ran about 3 motors before I had to replace mine and I put some rc18-t steal ones in. I'll ahve to get pics up with the new shocks.

Okay heres some quick pics. Also this servo is bigger than stock propulse...how should I mount it?

How about servo tape...?

I had that idea put is it going to hold and will it lift the servo because if it does it will become a problem.

It's a bit extreme but you could superglue some small nuts to the bottom of the servo then make small holes for them to fit in (in the chassis). Then use a washer (and the bolt...) to secure it to the chassis. But I'd try the servo tape before any radical surgery.

Would double sdied foam tape form like CVS work.

It should, but servo tape is designed for this application, hence the name.

it really is the samething, i use some stuff from 3M 3lbs holding strenght + regular mounts works great for servo's tho for esc's and revievers i'll use 3M dura lock that stuff is sweettttt

the lug

Or you could just glue it.

Don't want to permanent glue it and when it breaks I can't fix it...I was thinking hot glue but I will try the 3m double sided foam tape and if taht doesn't work glue here i come!

yeah hot glue silicone glue, would work fine, but i'ld go the double sided for sure...

the lug

Actually I was kidding about the glue...but, if all else fails...

Yea I'll probably go pick up some of the tape today thanks for your help guys. Then the last thing left is....finding a motor...

If you check on ebay you can now get UBER cheap stuff on their just search pro-pulse...

everything neatly mounted with double sided foam tape as well as the servo, I wrapped the car in glad press and seal and went out in the snow I got a vid too.









Here its is cozied next to the fire after a snow run drying off...

nice, that looks fast and tons of fun

the lug

Ahhh atack of the wire monster!!!!

LOL, looks cool man! must be fun! Another tip, spray your car down with wd40 or moo slick! it will help to repel water and keep parts form rusting

Also, you need zip ties!

lol I know I need to ziptie everything, I sprayed everything down nicely with wd40 before I went out in teh snow. This thing is always a blast to drive, the wires on that battery pack are just too darn big.

I got new street tires in and they worked so so cuz my road is like a sand pit. Howevery my servo arm is stripped so theres anothe rproblem. this things still a ball of fun though.

Dude that thing is so sick what's the speed about??

Using frame by frame on my camera I found its about 32 MPH give or take.

crap that's flying for a propulse!!!!!!!!

Srry for spam where is mtm

He's been around, where have you been?

Long story ive been so busy with school i could not even go on the computer lol
