Jumper Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 62mph. not bad. i presume that will be on 3s with a different gear ratio. than stock so will it come with the extra gears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Not sure about that. It has a 4.5t motor ie something like 7500-8000Kv at least, which is way more than the 2500-3500kV of most 3S 'speed cars'. I don't think it can even take 3S! It might well be 2S with a mega high gearing, and pretty mental even at a lower gearing. For once the 'Extreme' title is well justified.

I could be wrong (check the source) but I think it's 2S at stock gearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 2S and high KV always worked better for me than mid KV and 3S... My Rustler with a 3.5t and a 2S lipo was much better than a VXL on 3S. Will certainly be fast. Not that great off road I wouldnt have thought. But I like the idea of this alot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Many many years ago I had a AE T4 it had a 7700kv motor, with big gearing and on 2s it wasn't far short of 60mph, it was just stupid and nearly impossible to drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Coe Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I've run a similar LRP in a 2wd truck (RC10T so it at least has the advantage of weight) and it was crazy. Fun for sure, but unlike the lower Kv + 3S option there is no just pop a 2S in instead for when you want a more drivable car. I think this is the better route to a quick truck, but with the problem of a truck that is only ever quick..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Wonder if the included Radio system has adjustable end points enabling you to dial out a bit of the power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely it'll ship with this: http://www.lrp.cc/en/product/lrp-a2-stx-pro-24ghz-fhss-radio-set/ If so then seems so, though the description only mention's steering, there's a lot of knobs to twiddle just for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Regardless. I like it. RC needs a few more ott models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I don't understand why they have used the twister platform for this. The s10 bast would actually handle the motor,the twister will imho not. It looks like Lrp have been reading A traxxa s marketing book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy122 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Its got 2 big rivals already... The rustler vxl and the firestorm I think the shell is nicer then vxl But who knows Nice it has a wheelie bar from the word go...

Kpowell911 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Ill hazard a guess itll be cheaper than the Rustler and Firestorm though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I wonder if they will be bringing out a new blast as well. That was a great truck for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) They brought out a new blast late last year i believe Edited May 10, 2016 by Deafty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
