Seems like you got a lot of attention with your BL revo then!! Over here people are still sceptical about them and avoiding them at all costs.. :)

Carefull with that schulze! you don't want her to go up in smoke.. Sell it while it's in 1 piece!! and get a controller with some service behind it.. :) (perhaps it seems like a joke, but i am dead serious)

the 6XL on 5S!!! WHOOOOOOT!! that's one HOT bugger.. my 7XL on 5S was freaking hot allready, i hope you are using the maxamps packs in 2P (8000 pack?)

if you want real power, set with a Neu motor. The XL motors are nice, but once you've got the Quark, nothing is stopping you to use a more efficient Neu..

One thing;

did you played with the timing on your schulze? you can set all sorts of things on it. (9/19khz, hard/soft etc)

Does the 6XL heats up btw or is it the schulze?

6XL on 5S? Geez, I thought the 8XL on 5S was too hot. LOL.

More power to ya!!!

The Schulze is heating up, but only cause I can't run it wide open......
When I have space to run it above 70% throttle, I have no problems with the controller's thermal protection....The motor is always the same temp at 130F....This i like very much.....

and also i am posting the videos of the other events for you guys to see on youtube....Stay Tuned...

Ok the rest of the videos are linked in the original post....

Nice videos, driving, and truck! :)

You really smoked the competition, you should have got 1st!

Atleast you had a fun time, right?!

Had a real blast right up untill the awards ceremony

Those vids show how much more practical electric RC is :). Great job!

Nice job, way to represent.

Who do you think is responsibile for the "politics" that allowed you to become victim to the old "bait & switch" ?? That would have made me sick to my stomach.

I know it must have been a difficult decision...........On one hand, you could have tried to make them make it "right" by awarding you the "said" prize you had earned, or giving you everything back you paid to enter the event & compete, which we know you did. OR having to accept what happened and just enjoy the exposure that comes your way and knowing that you were the BEST on that day.


Thanks for the great vids & text too. It is all very interesting.

I know who was responsible for the switch.....but i really don't care anymore...I got more out of this than anyone else did so i'm satisfied....even if i had gotten 1st place and the Savage X package I would have sold it on ebay anyway.....Nitro Sucks.....

You could have converted the Savage to Brushless and competed with it next year.

:018:

Now thats good thinking! Its a shame that HPI got embarrased by your BL Revo - "an electric traxxas beating all the Nitro savages, we cant have that" - but like you said, you got alot out of it and showed up everyone else in the process.

Edit: Just watched the videos.... You completely thrashed all the other trucks in the drag race, and the 1st run on the obstale course too. But the 2nd run- came off worse in the tussle around the bend, yet you still finished ahead of a few other guys with only 3 wheels.... I think that says it all really.

hey all,
I am selling my truck on ebay if anyone is interested.....
PM for price! but i am willing to negotiate if you can come close to the reserve price....
I am leaving next week for Iraq to do some work for a year and need the money....
I'm gonna build another one later....
