Just found this: Ofna (HongNor) Nexx8
Listed by the usual suspects for ~270$.
What do you guys think of it?
I really like the narrow layout with the 2x2S hardcase LiPos und the forward motor.
But I'm not too shure about the motor mount. Don't like the 2 piece design.
Anything Mike has to offer that could probably fit?
Last but not least: would the CC 1512-1800KV 1.5 Turn be fast enough on 4S?
Looks alright. I don't particularly like the C-hubs being made from cast metal, though, and like you said the 2-piece motor mount could be a problem when landing jumps (it is a buggy after all).
Rest assured that there will be a cnc machined option for the C-hubs that will only cost a gazillion dollars.
And then there will hopefully be parts from other companies as well
I wonder why they didn't use the pillow ball setup like the Ultras have. I recently bought the rear pillow ball conversion for my GTP and I love the precision adjustment and complete lack of play in the joints.
I just bought two of the 1,5y's, but I think they need 5-6s. That would be two 3s hardcase for this car. Car looks good as long as the motormount holds.
my lhs was buzzing about this last night. i dunno about this...it looks really narrow to be all that stable and the foward motor design might make it really nose happy upon flight.
I didn't like it. It's an old chassis with lots of X1 parts. I hate e-clips too. Hongor choose to produce a cheap kit and you will get what you pay for. I'd prefer to buy a used roller of a more professional chassis or HB Ve8 for the same price or cheaper..
