which truck?? 6S + Neu 1521 - 06.22.2008, 07:41 PM

I have pretty much come to the conclusion, before I have even run it yet, that my vehicle I have now (Twin force) isn't going to like the new power plant.

I don't think a straight axle will like the 1521 very much. I am going to say that I am a 99.99% basher, so I feel like I need an indi-suspension truck for what I do, straight axle is just too.. rough.

So what are people's opinions...?? I was lookin into a Revo 3.3 roller.. but the tekno kit will only go up to a 1515, so my motor will hit the rear arm.

I will be using 40 series most likely (as I already have bowties n mashers) on 23mm hexes, dual 3s packs, undecided esc and a 1521/1Y

- E Revo?
- 3905 E-Maxx (tho I would opt for the e-revo over the E I think)
- E Savage
-Jammin CRT
-Losi Muggy

Any other opinions on tough larger scale trucks??

What kind of terrain do you usually drive on? Do you have a lot of room for speed or is it pretty rough with rocks and bumps?

Of those, Muggy.

The 1521 is a serious motor and there is no way the E-Savage can even fit one, much less survive. Now if you meant a Savage converted to E-power, than that get's my vote!

with a Revo BL conversion you dont need to use the Tekno clutch you can use the RCM motor mount and do a direct pinion to spur gear and lock the stock Revo tranny in 2nd gear and with this you will have motor breaking and reverse...and with a Revo you wont need a 1521, a 1515 is plenty

That 1521 should be matched to a big truck. I would go with the muggy as well.

I know I don't *need* a 1521, but I already have it, so its too late! mwahaha

It's a problem I have... I really can't help myself...

As for where I drive.. I drive on pretty big open areas, usually open construction sites and parks. could easily do 45+ in the area without any real worries. Minor bumps no big rocks or anything.

In that case, I'd say Revo, CRT or Muggy. They all are pretty low slung and have nice handling and are very stable at high speeds, yet they can all handle bumps very well.
