Hi,I love nitro engines but they got too expensive to run for me,all the glow plugs and nitro fuel,after run oils etc costed me lot's of money,even in one week I could use well over 1/2 gallon of nitro fuel if I was in mood... and that costed me nearly £20 for just one week of using it and then after I had fun with it all the maintenance etc takes really long especially for me as I like my rigs when they are really nice and clean...
and I also wanna something that I can just come back from school,plug in the batteries to the truck and have fun with no matter if it's hot or cold,I wanna something that doesn't need much maintenance as I don't have time for that any more because of bloody school :banned:
so I have decided that the only way it to go Brushless...
So I will use a Traxxas Revo on 3.3 chassis with few hop ups (more to come)
and convert it to BRUSHLESS by using a Tekno Revo Brushless conversion kit.
my budget is low cause it's only £300,just the conversion kit will cost me £100 so now my budget is tiny £200,that have to be enough for ESC and Motor...
I will be buying batteries and chargers later so for now all what I have to buy is conversion kit and motor plus ESC...
I want my Revo to go fast and do wheelies on demand for sure but also I wanna run at safe temperatures so ESC or Motor won't get fried...
I also don't wanna over charge my ESC with some super power full lipo's!
the Revo would be used pretty much every day so I need something durable with high specs and fun and easy to use as I'm complete newbie to Brushless and that's why I got to ask so many questions,so please help me out in which motor and esc should I use,the Revo would be used on road and off road and it will be used for just messing with it and for bashing not for racing.
so what Motor & ESC do you lot recommend me? and also what do I need to make it work?
The Revo has Forward only conversion,3.3 chassis,sway bar kit on front,stiffer springs on shocks,red anodized aluminum rods plus RPM bulkheads on rear,23mm hex's by Pro Line and also ProLine road rage tires but also got anther set of ProLines Bow Tires,it operates on Spectrum DX3.0 and Spectrum Receiver as well and weights about 4kg with all the radio equipment (no batteries),it has single steering servo XP Digital DS1313,not sure about gearing but possibly its stock.
thanks for help and for looking...
