1/16 Mini E-Revo - Top Speed Build

[TexasSP]

Well damn that's a nice build!

Honestly the 16th's were really kind of boring me reading about until now. This has truly gone from just slap a big motor in there to something of much more inspiration.

I really like the look with the body and wing but agree with PBO on the changes. I think in your case he was saying that stabilization is more important at this point than downforce. As well too much down force on the rear can cause the front to lift as well.

On another note if I was you I would get some more of those chassis made and sell them. I am sure you could turn them over pretty quickly.

As far as the diffs go that will be interesting to watch. Maybe linc will find a way to fit LST2 diffs in the mini revo as well.

That would be something to see. The LST2 diffs are the size of the Mini Revo front end... lol

I do agree that they are rather boring. I have one. Its fun to go 50mph down the street. But it does flip rather easy and anything taller than dirt isn't fun to drive in...

My goal for this one is to approach triple-digit speeds. There will be nothing boring about that. I gave it a quick test run with the old EZRUN esc and some small 2S packs I had in series (4S). I made multiple passes at just over 70 mph and the chassis seems very stable so far. It is much more controllable than before. I can even make steering corrections at 70 mph without getting the truck all upset. Also, no issues with unintended wheelies so far. I need the new ESC so I can run this with the big packs on 6S.
