Spoonmeister Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The build continues Is it just me or is that monumental packing wastage in that box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) The build continues Is it just me or is that monumental packing wastage in that box? I love the box. If I pay nearly £200 I expect it to be wrapped up nicely, loads of foam and very neat Really hope this soldering iron arrives tomorrow so I can take it for a spin! I'm just waiting for these inserts to dry then I can get the Badlands glued to the new rims Edited December 10, 2010 by revorocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outlaw Graphics Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 make sure you have plenty of thread lock on yer nuts as my front wheel just came flying off at full throttle down the car park, first outing today with a 24 tooth pinion with a 54 tooth spur, ridiculous speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) It lives! Took it for a blast on 4S just now in the dark, not for long but man this thing is fast! I'll try to get some video of it tomorrow Took me a while to work out all the kinks with the wiring and braking settings, updated the ESC firmware and programmed it how I like it. I did find under hard acceleration that the back end sags down so much that the titanium skidplate hits the floor and emits white sparks! Looks very cool I'll take some pics now Edited December 11, 2010 by revorocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Love this, I think a Revo is next (again) for me! You have more than likely answered this 1000 times but what wheels/tyres are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks guys, can't wait to take it for a spin on 6S tomorrow! The wheels are HPI black 3.2" dish 17mm wheels and the tires are Proline Badlands MT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revorocks Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Just been for a drive in the park on 6S, it's awesome! Slightly undergeared on 19/54 as the motor gets hot but the ESC fan is let to turn on the fan. One of the tires has come untaped now so it balloons a bit Still, very controllable and didn't roll it once. So much easier to drive than the Savage Flux as you can actually put the power down Got some video, I was driving with one hand and filming at the same time so excuse the bumpyness, the Savage Flux in the video is Liam's (liam09) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 i wrap my cars up in old rags and bubble wrap , if the car is dirty u can under stand , whats him problem with it in the house Well, I managed to convince him to let me keep it by the back door last night in a bin liner. He doesn't have a reason for not letting me have it in the house. If it's dirty and making a mess then yes I understand, but he won't jusify himself. He's just stubborn Looking really good mate If you don't mind me asking, how much was everything to convert it to electric? Thanks mate, I think the build worked out really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonmeister Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Any way you could persuade him to let you keep it in your room if it's double wrapped in bin bags and i only worked on in the shed? Or is he the type whos' word is final, end of? Just curious, that's all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He cannot be persuaded I don't know why as he has no reason. He's just stubborn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
