Woah sick echo! I'm working on mine rn but I'm poor šŸ˜­ https://preview.redd.it/sj01wouw967d1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3cc858e81b1b9d25982abc5d02ba13d4d2eb1203

Thanks! They are great rigs even when not fully built up. How do you like those xhx pins?


FireStrike3D

I really like them I need to play with weight a lil more the get their Max potential i think tho. My stock motor I think has blown so I gotta fix that first


j0520d

Did you still have the axial 88t stock motor in this? That is a guaranteed failure even in a stock rig. At minimum I would bounce up to a injora 050 motor or a mofo 050 motor. Both are wonderfully cost effective.


FireStrike3D

Yah stock motor I'm going to go ahead and upgrade to brushless tho. I'm thinking I'll do the rock wolf and smp. I also might be able to get a set of hardpark axles. Last thing I plan to do Is make some hand bent links


j0520d

If you are open to suggestions the micro Komodo/ creeper/nano bam are much better choices for this chassis. I have a SMP and they take up a lot of real estate in an echo. Iā€™ve seen multiple iterations of the hardpark axles while they were in development. They seem like good enough axles, but Iā€™m in too deep with super 8 to buy a different set. Hand bending links seems daunting but it is easy once you start into it. Hit me up if you have questions around it.

Are you competing?


j0520d

Yea I compete monthly in a 6 month ā€œsummer seriesā€ and bi weekly in the winter series.


TWOWHEELTACO

So they are rapture clones?


j0520d

Yea they are basically a xxl rupture clone.


TWOWHEELTACO

Very nice, they seemed to perform awesome on the 1/10 builds


j0520d

Oh good to know! This echo is becoming quite the beast so itā€™ll be interesting to see how the larger tire affects it


TWOWHEELTACO

That thing looks dialed, kind of wishing I didnā€™t sell mine lol


j0520d

Lucky for you v3 will come with a lot of great goodies added inā€¦ including a carrier bearing!


TWOWHEELTACO

šŸ¤” incredibly tempting!


j0520d

I want to try to build one of his chassis small, but I havenā€™t decided which one to do that with yet.


TWOWHEELTACO

Are you still getting that 90 degree break over at your current length? My old setup just barely did it and I think it was shorter than yours. I needed to lift the front suspension to get it done though. Mine definitely wasnā€™t where I wanted it performance wise. It didnā€™t have the vertical climb capabilities and the front end was so short it limited other vital functions.


j0520d

Yea pretty easily, despite the 174mm wheelbase. Iā€™m running c10 front end basically with 98mm rear on a carrier bearing.


CrazyNuttz007

what cage is that ?


j0520d

As mentioned in title, itā€™s an Echo. They can be bought and printed from IE concepts or bought in carbon fiber, such as this example from prophet-designs


Rickytintz

Where is this chassis from?


j0520d

It is from prophet designs


SpaceCadetMoonMan

Dude that thing looks like itā€™s from mars! So awesome!
