Hi Folks,

Well I made an attempt at some video of my E-Revo with the Align brushless hardware. After making the video I realized it doesn't showcase the power all that well because the resolution of the video isn't all that great and the road rage tires don't grip that well on the grassy hill, and the steepness of the hill isn't obvious on the video. Also since I had to film it while my fiance drove, it was a bit tough since she has a total of 10 minutes of R/C driving experience. Still, I tried to show how the truck can crawl along pretty well and then smoke all four tires at will, even on pavement.

I just wish there wasn't so much gear noise. The whirring from the Align motor sounds pretty cool though. I just swapped in a Neu 1515/2.5D and the gear noise is even more evident. It doesn't seem to have that much more power than it did with the align motor, but I need to experiment with the gearing a bit more. But it's a testament to the Align motor. They are powerful and inexpensive, especially on the used market.

Next I plan to build a E-Maxx and put the Align motor in that and keep the Neu in the Revo.

Man, this thing is fun.
