Tug Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 At last some proper snow. Had the E-Revo pulling my 3 yr old on sledge, it just managed to find some traction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamsodauk Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 had mine out 3 times and will be out again when the batteries are charged. I have to say the snow is so deep i struggled for grip but attaching cable ties around the wheels helped a fair bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creamsodauk Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 yer stock brushed. had it out 3 times now just cant charge the batteries quick enough lol. When it goes brushless its gonna have to be waterproof, im thinking 2 mtroniks 8th systems as 1 isnt gonna cut the mustard lol i do love an all weather basher!

Tug Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Yeah, I've been thinking of trying the Mtroniks ESC with the Mamba motor, just to give me all weather protection, but I've heard they're not so reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamsodauk Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 not sure i haven't heard alot about the mtroniks systems. i do know that mtroniks are super with warranty business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hide Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 It won't roll too freely because the motor has a lot of torque. With my Neu 1521 is near impossible to turn the shaft with your fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 LOL @ this been upside down, dont know how I did that: That beast ain't never gonna roll freely! No way, those motors are in a league of their own. You will never regret that purchase, even if you live as long as Yoda! Cane that babies butt, do it!!!

Kpowell911 Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Clive, Couldnt see anything in the manual about the order the wires plug into the ESC (the motor bullets) So i put them in any old how for pics, Can you confirm how they go? Thanks New shell looks good too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hide Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Just plug them in in any order. If the motor spins the wrong way round swap any two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
