Things to know about E-Revo's.

[shaunjohnson]

you are in tas??
no way!! i am too
we should meet up sometime
or even better...come down to the club and race

as for a 2.4 ghz radio, spektrum just released their DX3E which is a cheap-as-chips radio, 3 channel so you have something to play with and it's simple to use.
also it is compadible with DSM 2 so you cant get the wrong reciver

gear low of the venoms, they are ok as long as you dont pull heavy amps from them.
as for brushless in the revo, get the MMM and save yourself the hastle.
they are easy to use and are anywhere from mild to wild with a simple plug into the computer.

run 4s on the mmm 2200kv combo and you will be fine

as for buying one...the australian dollar ROCKS at the moment!!
90% of us racers at the club import from america, go to www.amainhobbies.com

order from there and keep your total order under $1000 (some of us find it easy to go over lol) to clear customs w/o 10% duty.

take care,
shaun

Hey mate, sorry for not getting back to ya, kinda forgot about this thread after the deal for the revo fell through

Sweet, I am down south in Hobart though, I am assuming you are up north and are talking about the NWRCCC club/track?
We could really do with a half decent track down here.

Yeah, the DX3E should be a nice radio, I reckon Horizon/Losi should put that with all their RTR's, would be far better, not to mention it would probably give them even more sales.

Ended up getting my bro a HPI E-Firestorm Flux, Castle link and 2x 2s 5000mah 20c turnigy lipos.
Came in at about $430-$440 I think it was.
While no revo or anything like that but I figure he would still go ecstatic over that.

Cheers.
