Brett92 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 just wondering if anybody else got a brushless rage?? opinions on what they think of it etc? ive had 1/8 scale, 1/5 everything but this little 1/18 is my favourite car yet.. in a few days im getting the mtroniks g2 esc and p2 8000kv brushless motor and putting it on 2s 1600mah with 2.4ghz etc, 3s is a bit too much lol tried that with stock set up. anybody got a say on these little beasts?

creamsodauk Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 had a play on a demo one when the ripmax rep brang one down to a local model shop, to be honest i wasnt too impressed, its a cool size but the spur gear etc is open to the elements and not enclosed so a quick blast on gravel saw it clog up and make some rather unpleasant sounds! The car also struggled immensely to get grip, from a stand still it would just spin round on tarmac whereas a mini revo will back flip, maybe the diffs need oil or something as they just unloaded too one side the moment you hit the throttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barker Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I used to have the brushed version...was ok for a quick nip around but i always broke something on it so i sold it.could be worth hoping it up with a faster motor and a wheelie bar lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett92 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 when i bought it new the stock set up seemed fine and i had no problem with the spur gearin having any troubles threw at it, but i had the bodyshell on it at all times.. stock its good for a beginner or as a bit of fun in my opinion but its also something good to hop up since u can get aluminium / carbon pretty much all around, vital parts anyway and then the brushless combos u can get for it.. never tried a brushed rage though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barker Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 i know wheel spin sell all the spare parts....can cost you a far amount too with hoping up! you must have a lot of love for that small thing! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett92 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 to be honest theyre not that cheap to run if u count parts and stuff from the times u will break them (everybody crashes sometime lol) but im not going alluminium or anything at the moment just my running gear im upgrading really cars got a little sentimental value behind it to be honest, reminds me of things i shouldnt have done, things that wouldve changed my future but yeah.. sad but deep, either way its an amazing car!

RooBoonix Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 my mate bought one, crashed it into a slide and the front wheel snapped off!! i looked into getting one but thought it was too small, i wanted a 1/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowie_no7 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I bought the brushed one for my son for xmas mainly to keep him off my hyper as it was toooo powerful for him as he's only 5. Overall I think it's OK, nothing special. It is quite fragile as ive broke it once as has my son. I personally feel that it's mainly to help younger kids into the hobby to gain understanding of them or as a big boys toy to give a little blast around the house!

Brett92 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 honestly ive had it for a while with my new stuff now, i had my 8000kv motor in there but the shafts too small but my pinion so i took it off in the end, i need a 48dp or 06 mod pinion with a 2mm shaft if anyone can help me? untill then im on my stock 4811kv that comes with the car but the speed controls boosted it a hell of a lot, yeah ive broke a few things but its just a car u have to be careful with really, if u got skill with driving then ur sweet.. ur bound to break something sometime as u are with any car but ill honestly say its as much fun as any other scale car!

joe of loath Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 48dp and 0.6 module aren't interchangeable, you'll need it to match your spur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
