Noj Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Looks very nice Not sure those rears will provide traction, unless crawling Can't find grip with hostiles at the moment, which makes for much entertainment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hostile MX hard compound FTW Good to know you can programme it easily with the Toro Beast's program card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiden939 Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 I ran it today fantastic loads of power and handles excellent no different than the petrol equivalent, the rear tyres not ideal for a slightly damp field, I got 20 minutes runtime on 5000mah packs which i was impressed with doing a few speed runs and making crop circles which is very easy with the power it has. Next on the list is some custom diy fluorescent green windows and play with the programming to seen what it's capable of as everything is more or less set to its lowest setting. I will get a vid done ASAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Making crop circles So much fun to be had with one of these beasts, whether it's IC or BL. Smiles per mile can't be beaten IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yup, vids and more vids. 20mins from 5000mah is quite acceptable, may stretch that to 25 with grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Is 30+ possible from those 8000 bricks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm not sure, Noj, is it drawing more current (shorter run) when it's got traction, or wasting energy in getting going when it's spinning its wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'd have to do two different runs and check data.... I get between 20 & 30 mins per run, have been getting better times of late as I've not been hammering the throttle as much. For efficiency in runtime, ask our lass....

Popular Post Noj Posted April 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2015 Ahem....what's with this 'next weekend' nonsense??? As a forum pioneer in KM Evo ownership, you are honour bound to provide footage in a timely fashion, not tempt us with words of its prowess and fine performance, followed by a promise of things to come in 7 days time. We live for footage of large, BL behemoths tearing up public land, goddammit, pander to our needs!! Please rectify the matter forthwith, or face a trip to the vats of boiling oil.

Bigjimknickers Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Forgive my ignorance on the matter but what is the fail safe measures on these BL buggys? Is it a simple case of setting up the tx rx to shut off if there is a failure? Also still interested in what warrenty the electrics come with from rcmodelz.

sean-vrs Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 ive just checked on the website and as far as i can see its the standard 30days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Although they say 30 days, they'll often still do whatever they can to help you. Good group of guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Failsafe should be done via the TX/RX Jim. We use flysky, so set the failsafe through the RX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 However, when reliant on motor braking, if you strip your spur at speed, it'll roll on for quite some distance before stopping! Failsafe setting is moot should that happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 ^^ lol! Upped my brakes to 50%, amazing how much better she stops now....sort of.... Failsafe FTW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah, but rear wheel braking is poor on all scales, 1/5 being the worst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Agreed. Leave run off room and employ some hope Braking is overrated anyway, unless racing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 'employ some hope'... I think that practice comes into play more often than we'd like to admit running these things. Whether it be stealth or IC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I'm unsubscribing to this thread! I really need a 5th scale, had the funds last yr then pranged the 1:1 so have dabbled with 8ths since. Whilst trying to get back to sleep today I semi totalled the spend since Xmas on things and it's v v annoying! My patent for the drag brake is in the post First example prototypes should be crowd funded by the end of summer. Alt version for 5b and SC on the cards too, they just spring eject the body clips and employ the shell for what there good at....

autobutcher Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Need to see some vids of this in action, I'm 1/6th of the way in my saving scheme to getting one of these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
