Got a little bored waiting on parts to get here. So I decided to enlist the Revo in a weight loss plan!
She went from 9lbs 8 ounces, without batteries, to 9lbs 1 ounce. When I change motors, another 4 ounces will drop to make the weight 8lbs 13 ounces. I'm thinking about maybe trying the Badlands tires/wheels, so that might shed a little more weight.
I decided to get rid of those gawdy "sideboards". I shaved them on down. This allows me to lay my Lipo's down for an even lower center of gravity.
Ok, maybe 4 Series 10,000mah Lipo's are a bit bulky. How about 4 Series 5000mah Lipo?
OR, if I can settle on a HV ESC that I like, How about 8S1P A123?
I also trimmed and slimmed up the motor mount some.
My Tower Hobbies order should be here tomorrow. The rest of the parts will be here either Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm ready to get this thing going.
