I'm also going to go with mechanical brakes (brake bias woo!) and a HV-110, I really don't want to use the BK in this, and MGM's are just too dang expensive, and apparently the software has problems. I am also making the wheelbase shorter than the last drawings I did, so the wheelbase should be very similar to the FLM extended kit. I thought I wanted to make this truck into something resembling a 5th or 6th scale, but with the recent headache of trying to find a place to put my Baja, I think I'm going to tone it down a bit. Although with this new power system, I hardly think it will be toned down! 
The only problem I can for see really is that I think that I am putting a bit too much weight in the rear of the truck, but we will see. I can always modify these new drawings I am working on to adjust the balance a bit. My personal deadline for these new drawings is 1 week from now. Once I finish these, there will be no more changes and they will be sent somewhere to be machined, and I will (hopefully) have my Savage I've always dreamed of!
So, I now have a question:
will this thing have too much power?
I'm afraid... |
No, it will be fun power
. I still have to try my 1527/1.5Y in my BPP truck. I tried my 1521/1Y with 10S that was still geared for 6S and that was too much. You will have a good time with that set up.
