.AJ. Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Guess it depends what you want to do with it, you won’t be doing flips at BMX with it, but it will be awesome hacking along at 50mph+ over rough terrain and doing smaller jumps, I’ve got mine as a show boat kind of RC and have no intention of smashing it up at a Skate Park lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QRC Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Very disappointed about no skate part action !!. Maybe I will just get one, just for that occasion!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I took mine to my local skatepark, but did nothing major with it. Was trying to get out some of the crap I'd picked up from the field! 8S is overkill really. It gets a bit tail happy on 6S, so 8S would be mental.

I honestly wouldnt bother with the E Revo 2.0. I was dead set on one. Theres some horrendous reviews and issues across the pond. Id definately cancel. Wether you go for an SBR with the money is upto you, but I certainly wouldnt get the ERevo 2.0. This is coming from a die hard Traxxas fan. Id 100% change it to this if you can. Or depending on your finances see what the Traxxas UDR is like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv been having a read through the traxxas forum and initial responses aren't too good. Like you I'm a traxxas fan but I may well end up getting the SBR or the UDR. Il pop into wheelspin when the SBR is in stock and make my mind up. I don't mind spending £800+ on an RC aslong as it looks well built and parts support is 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 The UDR is certainly more scale looking, but apart from that I know what I would choose.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this stage the SBR is looking like just what I need, I'm just a little dubious about how everything is accessed from the bottom, looks like it could be a pain, but then the UDR is the same.

.AJ. Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 With the right tools I can get the the cage off in a couple mins, but you wouldn’t want to do it in the middle of a bash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The only reason ive not got an SDR is its made by Losi and distributed by Horizon. Still kinda want either an SDR or UDR but not enough to pull the trigger. Id need a go of one but they seem annoyingly tail happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot ther usually imperial hardware but saw reference to 2mm and 2.5mm. This set is metric i think but they might have imperial. Hobbyking has some nice turnigy t handle stuff i got nut drivers and very very happy with them. Bit old but i got these draper set. £13 for the whole set and draper is half decent kit. My mechanics boss used draper and kamasa. The manager had snap on everything. But the boss swore his tools were as good. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F172785312600 Not sure if reach is enough though.

.AJ. Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 It’s all metric, you need a T Bar Allen just for 2 screws, they are tucked away and no way you can use a normal driver and get your hand in the gap... 6s lipo arrived today, so looking good for a run out at the weekend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says it’s a 4WD but it’s more a AWD. It defo seems biased to the rear for power. 6S - 50% throttle mode is basically 4S 100%. It’s a monster. The cage aside, it’s great fun and I enjoy it. to be honest, I’ve kept it in 50% most of the time with the occasional crazy 5 minutes on 100%.
