I think we need some videos - sounds great but think I'd go for a lower capacity and higher C battery...

I agree, but I will need to "import" that...........2 x 2s 30C 5000mah would be great right???

countryhick,
your car looks great. now i want to see vids of this other one too.

i have been seriously debating on buying this car. its only $300 right now for members.

its the kyosho evolvs 2005 WC 1/8 on road.
i have been planning on converting a IGT2 for a while but have been busy on my 1/5. and now i see this. the IGT would be easier to convert for me but the evolva would be the much faster racer. the other thing though is that where i live the only 1/8 on road races are all IGT classes. nobody has true 1/8 onraod around here.

anyone have any info on the evolva? any owners out there? how is it and would it be a good one to convert?

i know i know, Videos on the way.....

4s 6600mah 20C is not enough with CC2200kv motor.....fast on short track, and after a few suspension adjustments i could run at full throttle....

gearing tested 45x20 45x19 45x18, best was 45x20, by serpent software, 92km/h.....theorical, could be faster on the track, its already faster than 1/10

the CC2650kv motor I will not run again, too hot with 4s.....

now I got a 5s 5000mah 30C lipo, the motor will spin at 40k rpm, about 100km/h on the track,

tested with 5s and it was amazing.......

photos.....

pic 1

pic 2

about 15min testing and I lost control and rear arm was broken lol......

5s with 48x19 gearing on a short track makes the 2200kv motor overgear a lot........with proper handling of the car, at the middle of straight part of the track you can hear the engine not revving up anymore......I will move to 47x20 ou even 46x20........

IMO, if you have the chance to get one of these, do it.....

next upgrade: lipo 6s 40C.......


basic setup for this track i run:
rear toe in 2
front toe out 1.5
camber f:4 r:3
blue springs
40W shock oil
shore 38 front 35 rear
this is the basic right.....
