Carpmart Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Bez guna be converting this to leccy? Why does everyone think it will be Bez doing this.... I am capable too! However, it will most likely be a Bez project! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover Man Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Get much more satisfaction building it yourself So get building and keep us updated. May need to find something to run myself but it will run on dead dinosaurs not electricity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Bez has done all my soldering and he makes it look very neat, i agree with what RM saying but i know Bez would be able to do it right first time. if i had to do it then id probably blow something up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Very nice kit, the body fits the slash with extended arms I've been looking for one they look sleek. If it's mostly x3 sabre 100mph should be easy. Ther on youtube hitting 90mph with hobbyking looking electrics lol. Mayb gear changes but the chassis looks mostly standard. I couldn't imagine a total custom gear set on 8s+ There's a 12s traxxas rally that's hit close to 130mph. If ide seen it ide have brought it too very nice buy. The x3 sabre is top of my list for next rc especially pro spec. Edited September 9, 2015 by RCbutcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Only 8s? Big girl....10s or nowt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 But Noj, I need to comply with the class structure in play.and 10s is a whole different place cost wise! Plus I like the look of that new Hobby Wing 200A ESC, so should be a relatively low cost SPEED project... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 6 months is plenty of time, when I get my teeth into a project it will come together quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Must not mention Baja Mention away my god man.... Every cloud and all that. Its all about cause and effect! ............ Had Bez not lied and told me the Baja would do 100 mph, I wouldn't have been at the ROSSA event. Had I not been there, I wouldn't have taken my HN SC hybrid. Had I not taken the HN, I wouldn't have got 92 mph.... Had I not got 92 mph, I wouldn't be hooked on SPEED!!!!! So its just as well the Baja only did 62 mph......

Why do you think i left the leopard at home. not sure the speed trap registers below 35mph lol But im going to have a talk with Mr O and see what he thinks would work best. im thinking 23cc screamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I can't speak for the legitimacy of that one, nor have much experience, but looking on speedcalc It seems doable on 6s with 1:1 gearing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm not sure that car looks like it's doing the speed the video suggest. I think I shall preserve with the plan and go for the 8s plan..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
