i bought a revo 3 weeks ago, and im fairly unhappy with nitro. i had 4 electrics prior to this, so i think im going to BL this too. im going to do it just like you did, too. do you think an 8 cell pack would fit alright?

i was thinking along the lines of this -

8 cells x2 (GP 3700's or intelect 3800's, matched and zapped)
9920
10l
UBEC

8 cells wouldnt fit without one on top.

kmracer66 · 02.20.2006, 12:30 AM

ill just do 8 with one on top then. that would work, right?

kmracer66 · 02.20.2006, 12:34 AM

how does the setup sound?

Sneeck · 02.20.2006, 02:04 AM

Get a 10xl, does much better. That would be a nice set-up to start, don't forget some metal idler's for the tranny, strobe slipper and some mod 1 pinion's.

kmracer66 · 03:10 AM

oh, ok. i heard the XL has just a tad more torque, which i really doubt i'll need.

how exactly does that strobe slipper setup come together? pics?

Dafni · 02.20.2006, 03:19 AM

Hi and welcome, kmracer. Glad you like my truck.
The strobe slipper is a straightforward thing. Replaces the stock slipper. Just check the pics on the net, and you can figure it out. Strobe has a site, www.strobe-rcracing.com or something like this.

If I were to run 16 cells, I would go with a 9XL, btw.

Boys, the Revoxx is back! You might have seen the most current pics here in this thread. (LST tires, LT rockers, 1950/8) What an awesome setup! The "slow" motor is just right for this huge tires. I took it for a spin yesterday. Speed was good, but only nitro-like, which is enough for bashing for me. Runtime was nice, and the torque was unreal. The best of all was the temp, the motor stayed cool. Way cooler than anything I had experienced before on a solid-magnet motor.
The LT rockers give a nice articulation, and I was running over rocks like an enraged spider!

hmm. maybe ill just do 14 cells. it would be easier. how fast is it with 14 cells and the 9l? what gearing?

coolhandcountry · 02.20.2006, 09:10 AM

I think i would run the 10l on 14. But that is just me.

Dafni · 02.20.2006, 10:01 AM

On 14 I like the 7XL or 8XL just fine. (7XL for speed, 8XL for runtime)

But my favourite is the Lehner 1950! A 6 or 7 turn would be awesome on 14 cells.

kmracer66 · 02.20.2006, 02:37 PM

would i be able to eventually run the 8xl on 16? what are the major differances between the l and the xl?

kmracer66 · 02.20.2006, 03:22 PM

also, what about this new castle ESC? what are the specs on it?

Yes, you can.
The XL motors are physically longer than the L motors, which makes them capable of producing more torque.

It's not going to be out for a while yet. It's supposed to be able to handle 16 cells or 5s Lipo (something like that). It should take just about any MT motor (maybe except for the Lehner 2250s).

kmracer66 · 02.21.2006, 01:29 AM

what about a Feigao 540c 9L? how much better is it than a 9l?
