1/5 Firehammer MT.

I'm done with Feigaos now :)

I haven't weighed that truck yet... but I know I'm going to have 5Kg of Electronics, battery & mounts... I can save 1.5Kb by running only 12S1P 5000mAh..

I will try it with the 1P setup first...

The roller is < 13Lbs.. let's just say 13..
I have front wheel disc brakes setup for it... as well.. And once this is done, it will be 4x4.. If there's a will, there's a way...

So I guess I can roughly say the trucks total weight will be...

12S1P 5000mAh = 21 Lbs (264 Watt/Lbs)
12S2P 10000mAh = 24 Lbs (370 Watt/Lbs)
** 12S3P 15000mAh/Quad BL = 31Lbs (537 Watt/Lbs) - this won't happen, too heavy...

I know she will be going fast...

And at some point in size (I hate to admit it), Gas will overcome Brushless, in every way. I guess we start to see it in the 1/5's. I knew brushless was too good to be true!

if you use all the watts available on a eco electric car and use them at the same time yu get like 600 HP!!!!! so electric cars are only as they are designed to be used. there is going to be all kinds of modified electric cars in the near future.
I also agree with 2 stroke ringed engines. they are great. it is the ringless pinched nitro engines that requier hours of work for minutes of enjoyment that sent me to electric.
my recent problem is my 808 with werks engine is running so perfect i havnt converted it yet.
