Thats pretty much what I was thinking watching everybodys videos of their trucks on 3s. Still looks like fun but not really practical. I'm envious seeing everybody having fun with theirs and I'm still waiting on Horizon Hobby and I orderd it on 5/8/09. Sucks to be me

Decided to play around with mounting some different tires/wheels on the Slash that I had laying here. I drilled out the axle hole on some mini inferno wheels and put them on. The wheels are Pro-Line mini inferno, tires are Pro-Line Crimefighter and hexes are from 3Racing for a mini inferno. They are almost identical in size to the stock tires/wheels.

Wow, That 's looking WAY more track worthy now ?! They look excellent and right at home on your Slashy. I've ben searching for anything for wheel and tire combos for the M-ERevo .
So far looks like the kyosho or B44 rims are the ticket ?
Edit: I had to add this; "What a great looking little truck that is !"

Skellyo, what runtimes are you getting and are you running your 2s in series or parallel or just one pack????

I haven't run out my first pack yet and I easily have over 10 minutes on it. The single 2S pack has enough punch to put the E-Revo on its lid on a hard launch. I just don't see the need to run the packs in parallel and definitely not in series except for perhaps a speed run or two.

That's my dilemma .... But I ordered 2x2s 20C 1600mah lipos...gonna series it for runtimes and then parallel for speed runs....if this is not what I want I'll be ordring 3s...either way it's not a huge dent in the wallet...get both and see what you like or which ones fit ..thas wha I'm doing..

Think you got that backwards - series is for speed (series adds the voltage together) parallel is for runtime (parallel adds the capacity, or mah together)

I purchased (2) 1300mah 2s 25C Zippys to run in parallel for mine thinking tons of run time and nice light BALANCED weight, at 8.00 each who's to say thats wrong ?
I'm still waiting on the Dam truck ?

[hootie7159]

My bad series power parallel runtime...copy that :)

JUST GOT MY MINI REVO TODAY!!!!!!!!!YAY!!!!! couple questions....i can't get it to wheelie for crap but it accelerates like a bat out of hell keeping all 4 wheels to the ground... (yes i tightened the slipper.....yes i am only running 2s.....) but it kinda feels like the throttle is kinda sluggish for like a 1/2 second....do any of your feel that way?....this thing is a pretty cool backyard basher....just big enough to monster truck over rocks and just small enough to enjoy in your backyard... :)

hootie, when I'm running a 6 cell NiMH by itself, it sags right at first before accelerating rapidly. When I run two 6 cells in parallel, it wheelies like nobody's business. I'm thinking your battery might not be providing the current demanded. Just a thought anyway.

In related news, I was able to temporarily fix my broken a-arm by creating a "cast" around the breaks using super-glue and strips of paper towel. It works surprisingly well. Good times!

[hootie7159]

thanks bro!!! i'm actually just running it with the stock battery....and just 1 2s 20C 800mah flightmax lipo (it supposed to be used in my srb quark but i couldn't resist!)...i'm guessing once my 2s 1600mah 20C zippy get here i'll be a wheelie machine .. :)
