Thats just screaming for a disjustingly poweful brushless system.....:eek:

The HPI engineers have been busy then.

A small detail but i like how the diff outdrives sit on bearings in the diff cup rather than the usual metal on metal.

I'm in love......certainly more detail put into it than buying a cheap 1/5 from a Chinese distributor and slapping your name on it......::COUGH:: Duratrax and XTM ::COUGH:: :D

EDIT: Just noticed they went with an 8mm thick chassis, holy cow will that sucker be durable!

[Sneeck]

Yeah and 2wd. AGAIN!!

I can't beleave there are so many 2wd lawnmower powered bigscale's. It is a nice design, but comon, a true offroad must atleast have 4wd.

Maxxdude,

You mean something like this?



(yes that is a bigmaxximum on the left)



Allthough that's an 1:5 onroad, i'm sure it'll fit in any 1:5

[Serum]

Ouch.. You hurt my feelings Sneeck..

That is one UGLY car... ( i simple don't like those 1/5th 2stroke cathedrals..)

[Sneeck]

I hope you can forgive me but I couldn't find an offroad bigscale with such a massive bl motor.

[Serum]

The 2280....

[Serum]

I can forgive you quite easy sneeck..

[coolhandcountry]

I would like to see a better pic of that 1/5 on road with the fat plettenberg. How many batteries do you run?

[Serum]

It's not his, it's a german experiment..

I would put my money on a 2280 over that baggybigmaxximum (as investment)

[coolhandcountry]

OH! The 2280 is not small motor either. I like power. Big motor means big power. :)

[Dafni]

Uh oh. We have everything converted here. We have a Jato, Savages, Buggies, an MGT, LST, Revos, HB Lightning, HPI MT .... but for this one, well, I think we have to draw lots.

:L:

[Serum]

i told you about my brushless Volvo?

[Dafni]

LOL Trunk, back-seat and passenger-seat full of NiMH cells?!? :L: Does it wheelie?
