Getting the itch to build something, but what? - 08.18.2011, 03:32 PM

I currently Have one rc running (T4) and its getting boring, I am thinking of building another but what? I have two options, possibly three, Two I already got most of the parts for, the other i need the truck, but they are cheap to get.

Idea 1. I have a Losi 8T to convert, It's from my year or so running in the darkside. My plan for it will be to use a 2250 lehner 10t (1184kv) a Quark 125 car and my outdated (for now) flightpower 20c and hyperion twenty 20c lipo's. I know it sounds overkill, but using this motor on 4-5s should be less stressful on the batteries than my Neu 1515/2.5d/1600kv and get good speed and runtime. I know the 8T can handle the power, people have played with 1717 castles and Mike himself has run a 2230 lehner on one. The only things i really need for this one is the motor mount and battery box.

Option 2.Rebuild my G2R revo, The only major problem with it is a broke Diff pinion (RC-Monster 1/8 diff conversion V.1) Yes, this is the second V.1 pinion I have broke. My plan is to either just get another pinion, last i talked to mike He still has a few, Or get the 8mm unground one and a matching bearing and be done. Third possibility, The V.1 was designed specifically for Hot bodies diffs, Was there any other diffs that fit with a 5mm pinion? Ofna Maybe? For tranny i'm torn between a E-revo with a fastlane adapter, or Mikes center diff conversion with possibly a slipperential. If i go center diff, it will also be 2250 powered. Tranny, Neu 1515/2.5d

Option 3. Get a CRT.5 and convert it, I would have to get the car itself but they bare cheap enough

I would have to make a battery box, my plan is to run a 5s 2500 25c flightpower lipo. with a 1200kv Lehner basic xl. Would also need a plastic 32 pitch gear from the SCRT.

This is my quandry, would like some input. I know most would say 8T, Due to size and wow factor. I like the CRT.5, due to size and ease of storage. Similar prices to do both these. The revo really needs the attention, but the most expensive to bring back

Thanks for any input and sorry for the long post


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
