sean-vrs Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 That's cool, It's a great truck just a good size and weight it's given me the most grin factor in my last several purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Makes me want one even more... I very nearly pulled the trigger after speaking with Jon some months ago now, so I've certainly been tempted by it before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 No point listening to me....I did and look where it got me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) I don't recall a time you gave me bad or not accurate advice about anything electric Still unsure if this is right for me yet of course. Since having the private field to use and getting the Baja out and getting it running like a train on this new oil, I've seemed to re-kindle a bit of the old magic.

sean-vrs Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Managed run her again today, get a solid 32 mph on 5s. There's oodles of torque still too I'd be happy to run this on 5s with the stock electrics. Will upload some more video this weekend Still can't get any heat into it to give any meaningful figures, can't wait for the summer months this thing will fly.

Oh How Original Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 As long as nothing thermalled, then the heat can't be that bad. That's very interesting, faster than I expected it to be if I'm honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yea I was happy at that, need ramp it now see what's what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Set the Gyro up today, it'll now launch straight as an arrow but as I've found out you can't reverse with a gyro as it constantly try's to correct you. HobbyKing Gyro on 5sc Flux (Testing): On this slow motion one you can really see the correction being applied to keep it straight and true, a great device for my young lad who I'm sure will be able to control it better, won't leave it on for everyday bashing.

Tug Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 They're tricky on high traction surfaces, is that what prompted you to fit one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 More so for my son who I let fly with the petrol 5th kits, however this has instant power and I'm frightened of him binning it. That and I was also intrigued to see if it would take to 5th scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Limit him to 3 or 4S? I'm sure I've seen him driving largescale in one of your vids, handled it will if my memory serves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Yea he's fine mate, just has no appreciation for what it is he's playing with lol it's all age related I'm sure but still it gets expensive. I guess I'm being over cautious this truck has left me surprised at the punch it packs, with the petrol kits they have a dead space for a few seconds before they let rip I want another one!

Tug Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Another what? Super 5sc or just a new rig? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Super 5sc, can't help but think having 2 flying around would be awesome, that and nothing else coming to market gets me excited as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Wow! You got it bad! Yeah, I'd love to pit mine against a second one! That would be awesome! How close are you to London? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
