So whats gonna be more fun to drive the 1/16 Slash or 1/16 Revo?Seriously thinking about getting either one.What are you opinions on the Brushless 380 motor and ESC that comes with it.Do they run hot etc?

From hearing reviews, no personal experience, they both are a hoot to drive! Will definitely make you smile. The BL system with it is nice! Its super powerful and can push them pretty fast. 50mph or better! Which in 1/16th is fast! downfall is the ESC isn't the best. It definitely need some punch control. The lack or programibility sucks on it. Otherwise its a great little truck.

LHS and stores are starting to stock up on their parts so thats not an issue anymore.

Would a Mamba max fit into these minis?I might just buy the brushed version sell the motor system and use a MM and what motor then.

Get a Revo, It'll handle rougher terrain and handle better in general due to being wider and bigger tires.

Castle ESC will fit but mods must be made. I have a stock VXL BL motor for Sale ?

Is that a CC mini sidewinder? What motor do you have in yours?Yea I thought the Revo would handle rougher terail.I mainly drive in my backyard grass.

A lot of grass driving might give you temp issues, Unless it's cut real low ?

Full sized SideWinder and a Hobby City 3300kv, $28.00 and works awesome and stays cool with 2s and 3s pack after pack with out changing gearing.

The MM will fit where the radio box is, but you may need one of these for the 1506:

Thats great info guys.I just so happen to have a Neu 1515.05Y/S 4400 KV.Yea overkill.The 1515 might be too long though.We shall see when the slash gets here.That Neu will roast the stock ESC.But with 2s maybe not.Probably will pull the new Mini VXL and sell to buy a MM then the motormount.It gonna be like putting my 69 Galaxie 390 FE in my New Beetle.

phatmonk · 07.30.2009, 08:46 PM

Better yet Maybe I should just buy a CC MM plus motor combo and run on 2s.Gonna have to work some overtime.
