Yeah no kidding... I completely agree with johnrobholmes.

My BL setups are pretty up there (no where as fast as some users), but my CRT .5 has enough juice to break 65 without a sweat if I put 4S into it. Normally it runs 3S (Lehner 1930/7 with a 17T pinion).


Anyway, when that thing is going fullspeed, its pretty scary. I can only imagine if I were to plow that into my foot at a decent speed. Would leave me in a cast for a couple months no doubt.

On the Traxxas forum I read enough about people crashing Revo 3.3's and Jato 3.3's...and while both of those are very fast trucks, they still have a pretty friendly throttle delivery when compared to high voltage brushless. The last thing we need is some dude with deep pockets wanting the fastest truck out there and then putting a hole in his neighbors house when he hits it doing 60mph, not to mention burning his own house down trying to charge the Lipos...


BL Revo: CF G2R, LMT1940/7, 6S FP 30C Lipos, MMM, Hitec 5955TG
CRT .5: 7075 Ext Chassis, LMT1930/7, FP 25C 3S Lipos, MM
