Do I like speed? and other contemplations...... - 11.14.2008, 03:45 PM

I like building trucks that is without a doubt. I like planning and seeing things come together. However, after several builds I am coming to the conclusion that although I love brushless the speed factor does little for me after a few passes.

What I have found is that I like driving my RC tanks around slower than molasses on an uphill climb. I also really dig the trail trucks and scale builds on rccrawler.com as well as the rock crawlers. Personally I like the technical aspect of maneuvering and crawling much more than driving off road at a rapid pace.

So with this comes the quandary: shall I keep my brushless revo and e-maxx (although the maxx is recently converted back to brushed) or should I sell for other ventures that I will spend more time with. I already sold my full FLM brushless pede ealier this year because it bored me to tears after a few times driving it.

From a financial standpoint it is silly of course because I obviously will get poor return vs investment. However, I see a hobby a a frivolous type thing anyway so the financial aspect really means little to me other than what I can afford to buy next.

First off I really see my interest piquing in rc tanks and will spend a lot of time with this weathering, modding for improvements, and doing battles as well off road maneuvering.

Second I also see myself getting into crawlers and spending a good amount of time with that as well as building one or more scale trail/crawling type trucks.

Third I find my time spent with my standard monster trucks growing smaller and smaller with my interest in that category.

Fourth and final my interest in flying rc has been growing as well.

So with all this on the table I will post a feeler out for the brushless e-revo:

MMM, 6s Flightpower Evolite 5350 mah, Tekno Neu 2.5df, JD carbon pushrods, hinge pins, and turnbuckles, Futaba 2.4ghz tx/rx, proline 40 series dish wheels and 40 series bowties, aluminum hexes, revo platinum shocks and diffs, e-revo chassis

E-maxx:

stock 3905 with 4 big bore aluminum shocks and 4 rc raven dual rate springs with 4 stock shocks and springs, TQ3 radio and stock rx, ener-G 7 cell 4600 packs
