My e-revo brushless edition build

[Shonen]

I kept looking at the picture waiting for it to move

Here you go.

What an amazing thread!!!!! You must have a ton of cash in this truck... Also your work is outstanding. I have loved this thread and the work you have put into the Revo. Thank you

Now the next question is are you going to make it out of carbon fiber???

Carbon fiber would be good but would it be strong enough??

[mistercrash]

Cf would be strong enough, more rigid than aluminum. But for better heat dissipation, I would do it in aluminum. But I don't feel like doing it right now. I'm too busy and my attention is towards RC helicopters.

Heli is great fun but really really bad when they crash. I may be getting another soon tho. I have a friend that has one and never uses it.

IMO, I don't trust a spinning soda can that has the power to probably run a freaking SmartCar to CF.

I don't know why, in my mind, CF seems to be a bit weak... Again, never really worked with it, but I've always thought (even though it's incorrect, sometimes) metal > CF.

What helicopters!?
Me too!

Funny you should mention heli's.....After a bad incident involving a Blade CP rtr heli I bought on the spur of the moment a year or two ago (I had some really bad bruises on my arm and broken chopper) I recently decided to give it a second go round cause I didn't like that it had beat me, literally and figuratively. I got a Walkera cb100 to teach myself how to fly this time and I'm slowly getting the hang of it. It's much more forgiving when I crash than the blade was,lol

I've been practicing on the Pheonix sim all winter. I feel I'm ready but my wallet doesn't agree. I'm pretty much set on an Align Trex 500 super combo and a Spektrum DX8 or JR 9503. It's all in my shopping cart on the Great Hobbies website along with an E-Flite Blade CX2 for my son.

I kept this CD for myself but I haven't used it in a year or more and since I won't be racing anymore, I decided to sell it. So if anyone wants the last of these, go on the link below, it's posted on RCTech.

This will not work with a nitro Revo? Will it?

[mistercrash]

No it will not work, it's too big and the tooth count on the gear is not the same as the nitro version.

Sorry to bother you... Thank you..

[mistercrash]

No bother and you're welcomed.
