Thought Id say hello

[Sylvester]

Welcome RC!

Almost any bl system will smoke a nitro.

[Serum]

And if you follow the strict and pattented guidelines of bombproof, you will literary smoke nitro..

[jnev]

That is what I hope. What are the guidelines of bombproof? :002:

Anyway, does any one have any recomendations for a new project? I only bash, so I would need something strong and something that has fairly decent protection against sand, since that is where I usually bash. I also dont particualrly want a st because it will be too simialr to my previous brushless pede. I was thinking something bigger like a maxx, e-revo, or savage, but any recomendations are welcome. This will also be a slow project so when upgrading is finished, it'll be a while from now, probably mid to late summer. My price ranges to start with are also on page one.

Thanks.

[Sylvester]

For a basher, a stock converted revo chassis, rpm arms and a nice bl system will be nice. The revo is a very nice basher, the emaxx would be nice too, but i like the suspension geometry of the revo, and its cheaper!

[jnev]

That is what I was really considering. Is the revo stock chassis better/stronger than the gorillamaxx chassis? Also, on the stock chassis, can the single speed conversion be mounted?

Thanks

[Sylvester]

The g-maxx is good, i had the g2r but hated how low the chassis was to the ground for bashing, i mounted a single speed gmaxx tranny to the stock revo chassis, made some battery mounts bla bla bla and was a VERY good basher!

Imo, take the stock for bashing.

[jnev]

That si probably what I will do then hopefully. Does the s-s conversion mount directly to the chassis, or is there custom work involved? I dont have any machining skills so I would need a custom motor mount and battery mounts made by mike or whoever knows how to make them.

Thanks for the help.

[Sylvester]

To make the tranny fit is quite an easy task, you just have to machine like 1-2mm off the side and it will directly fit into the space, than some drilling in the chassis so the tranny will fit. Just a tip, when you have the tranny in place keep the dogbones in when you are marking the holes to drill in the chassis, its just so you know the dogbones are even on both ends.

[jnev]

Thanks for the tip and all the help. Hopefully, I'll be able to make my purchase fairly soon, since I know someone that has a revo for sale.

[Sylvester]

Good luck with the buy!

[GorillaMaxx360]

you will like the revo a lot very durable.

[jnev]

Since most likely, I'll be running a monster truck (hopefully e-revo), I will need to buy a new charger. I will probably start out with nimh batteries and later on move to lipo. But for the charger, have any of you had exerience with the MRC superbrain 989? Also, before I go lipo, when charging nimh batteries, will I be able to charge two batteries at once using a "Y" harness? I also heard that they tend to false peak sometimes. Is this true and can it be fixed?

Absolutely! :024:

The ice is increadable charger and it does lipo and it is so easy to use

[jnev]

I was thinking about the ice, but it also needs a power supply which will then be another $60. It also can only charge 10 cells I think, so I would have to charge 1 battery at a time.
