I’ve found the best way to mount the xlx2 and keep your radio tray intact is to remove the cooling fan cover/guard, use mounting screws to hold esc, and raise the rear body pins 1 notch. Only slight trimming of the tray was required to make it sit parallel to the chassis and the body shell fits nicely.
I made some holes in that esc holder used one layer of double sided tape ( for a bit of padding) and screwed 4 screws into the esc from under. Body fits fine. But where the body did hot was full lock with a scorched steering arm. 🤔 they made it look like on the arrma utube ad / reveal. That the xlx2 fit no problem. I had to take those angled tabs off like you did. Another funny thing is we’re doing the same build. I’ve had an 1100 sitting around for months. Good luck with your runs
Great I really appreciate you sharing and showing how to do it the proper way to install The ESC and not just hacked up. Your way is very clean and neat 👍🏻 thank you for sharing with the problems with the V2. Thanks 🙏
coming along nicely Earl..... no matter what the issue that rears its ugly head ... you always seem to find a way to make it work in a way that people would believe is from the factory..... and you always "clean up" any and all wiring that's necessary ..... Your build style is honestly the perfect way of explaining things to guys like me who are still learning the hobby.... at the risk of being redundant ..... thank you for sharing....
Looks like another nice and clean build Earl!! Great job as always!! I've never had a Limitless yet, but when I do I will be referencing these Limitless builds you do for sure as I'm working through it!! I really can wait to see you ripping this down the road!! 💯💯😉
Well so much for the "new & improved" ESC mount. I would say from the look of things it would work just fine with a different body style, like the full body cars most speed guys run.
I wonder if you could cut out a square the size of the ESC fan and sit the body down on it letting the ESC fan pull in cool outside air and letting the body sit lower? I mean, I’m not sure if it would look good or not, leaning towards not but it could look pretty trick and custom. I’m assuming this is for function over aesthetics though so may not matter?
Nice and clean! I’m currently struggling with the same issue of the ESC hitting the body. Any durability issues with cutting the receiver/ESC tray apart as far as the servo is concerned?
Now you have shown it you can see the Velcro won’t make any difference. The release date for the v2 has been pushed back again in the Uk to late September so no one here has seen one yet. You 🇺🇸 guys have bought them all up.
You just need to cut the switch and solder the two wires together and it’s permanently in the on position, just need to disconnect batteries to turn it off
