1:8 Robitronic BR 50 Trophy Truck - Brushless

[othello]

I obviously had to do something against all the mud and stuff getting inside. Well, after some few hours tooling around with my dremel and parts i had laying around the car was ready for its second maiden. But by then a fairly huge amount of snow had fallen, so i had to run the BR50 on asphalt still very wet and partly covered with snow.

Here you go: Part 1 of the video and part 2 of the video

Not a lot of grip but nice power slides and roosters behind the car.

This time the car was covered with wet snow and wheighed a "ton" when lifted from the ground.


Showing with what i came up to protect the electric components from the elements


It worked out alright, but still some snow had protuded the front as i only had glued some lexan parts to the chassis. Lesson learned. Has to be screwed to the chassis. No wonder there ... i made some shortcuts to get her to run on that day.


Here is the eagleetree Graph of 1 minute of this run (basicly the first part of the video)

. The temperature readings can be ignored. After the run the motor was cold. But it took me atleast 2 minutes to get the body and protection off the car.
. On average 16,5A (412 Watt)
. Peak amps are hovering between 40-55A while accelerating. Power peak at 1331 Watt. Those number will rise with grip.
. Max 26500rpm as i really couldn't hold full speed for a long time. Place is too small and it was too wet.
. The car needed 276mAh for 1 minute. Runtime calculates to a little over 7 minutes with 2000mAh.

And for those of you who are wondering if the SC8 body and tires might fit. I found those pics (Robitronic USA profile at myspace)
