B/L 1/5 savage

what do u guys think of a brushless 1/5 savage with carbon tvps and a three speed and powered by a 9xl and 18 cells? do u think it would b underpowered? i want to jump to 1/5 scale and i have a savage roller and i found .125 12"x24 cabon sheets for $72 so it could b done pretty cheap.

The TVP's wouldn't have to be CF, hit ebay and check out Speedy Metal's 1/8" thick 6" x 48" sheet for $14, cheaper, and maybe even easier to cut........at least because you won't get cancer from the smoke/dust it'd put out.

cant do aluminum i have a townhouse and have u ever heard what a jigsaw cutting aluminum sounds like inside

here is a pic of a template i cut out it will extend the wheelbase to 475mm same as the FG trucks

Whoa! The FG's are really huge arent they?

[captain harlock]

One of my friends has an FG touring car and its about a meter long and 65 centemeter wide. Huge indeed.

ya they r big and expensive the body cost twice as much as the carbon i ordered for this project

[Sylvester]

I bet they are durable for their size.

[captain harlock]

Its plain ugly for me to run a huge machine. Thats my own thinking and I dont mean anything bad.

[Sylvester]

Yeah, i woudlnt go over 1/8 scale for anything, anything bigger just doesnt seem like and r/c anymore!

[captain harlock]

Exactly. Moreover, maintenance will be a hassle.

[Sylvester]

But the one + on a nitro 1/5 is the motor is bigger and theres no need of tuning , just maitnance ... PITA!

[captain harlock]

Oh, and the word nitro itself seems like a - and not a +, if you can get it.:)

[Sylvester]

lol, thats true, but i know one plus which electric cant beat, put in some fuel and go go go! :p

there should not b any more maint then my emaxx. and it wont b nitro its going to b brushless. it should weigh about as much as my emaxx im going to start with one 9xl and if its not enough ill run a mega 22/45/2 which has more than enough torque.
