The brushless serpent 1/8th onroad project!
 

Arh, it's getting closer to a complete vehicle now..

Here the solid rear axle is still on, it's a balldiff now. One of the sweetest balldiffs i've ever seen.. Lets see if it keeps up..

Did you make the upper deck yourself?

It's really tempting me.

Be sure to get a vid. AND try the FUN600 to give me your opinion in them.

wow! Nice Serum, sure looks like a nice setup. Clean, and setup very well. What are the FUN600 motors equivalent to?

Yeah, all is homemade, the fun600 we discussed would be a nice thing. i made the mount so it can hold small till large pinions, giving some nice gearing options, running different KV motors.

I am going to run 5S2P 4400 30C peak pack; the 4S2P is capable of doing a good 1500 watts, so i am looking forward to the ~1900 watts for the 2.5kg heavy onroader

Very nice work Serum! Honestly, it really came out great.

Can't wait to see it all done!

Bye:018:

I see a Savage spur gear :).

It looks great! Can't wait to see a vid of this thing.

I spy with my little eye! winner is Metal!

Plan is to gear it to ~60 mph, with the body on these things stick to the road like glue..

There!

finished her.

Very nice work Serum! When is the maiden run with her?

Glad to see its finally complete Rene! A vid is a neccisarity with this ride! Looks beautiful!

Looks really nice!

Can the MM controller handle it though?I thought it's only officially rated for 3S,or are people running them over spec without problems?

Lets see what the MM is capable of.

running it on 5S isn't something new. It uses a Ubec

The weight of this thing is about 1/2 the weight of an MT. I'll hook up an eagletree and see what it does.

Lets find some nice tarmac...

Technically, 12 cells (which the manual says is ok) is the same voltage level as 4s, nominal and right off the charger. I don't know why they rate it 12 cells and only 3s.

How did you cut the Carbon? It's amazing. The little features like the carbon on the fan really finish it off nicely.

Top work Serum.

Very nice speed machine! Great work there, Rene, congrats!
