RE: NEW!!! Official Traxxas XO-1 1/7 onroad....
I'm glad this car is as big as it is. I couldn't imagine trying to control a tiny 1/10th scale at these speeds. Best I've seen is 85mph(gps) and that's solely due to lack of room. I've yet to go full throttle.

$150 shipped MAX because its a non-VXL version. That means you don't have all hex hardware or ball bearings.

Need help with an RC Lawn Mower.
Pretty much, I need help figuring out and motors and logic board to use to control it. I've seen a build that utilized a Arduino board, but how do I know its motor limitations?

So I want a DB17 Flux, but all I have are the electronics.
So I already have a MMM and 2200KV motor, DX3R, Lipos and some high torque servos. I'm trying to find the most economical way to get the rest of the truck. Obviously I don't want to buy a RTR Flux since I already have a lot of the expensive parts. I think the only Nitro Savage that is equal to the Flux is the XL (same gears?). I see Savage X for sale a lot and even some SS rollers. It is worth buying one of those and upgrading it to Flux standards or is it not the best idea? Thanks

Just bought me a RS4 MT off ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120545577222&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT I plan on putting a brushless setup in it. Hoping for 50mph. Anything more than that would be pointless for me.

RE: Considering switching to brushless from nitro, need pros and cons
To be honest, brushless isn't any more difficult than brushed until you start using lipos. Same example holds true. Anyone can take a brushless traxxas vehicle, stick a battery in it and get going.

RE: Considering switching to brushless from nitro, need pros and cons
I have to argue that electric is [b]FAR [/b]simpler than nitro. I'm talking about brushed electrics. Anyone can charge a standard NiMH battery and put it into a traxxas stampede and start driving. It takes skill and knowledge to run nitro. There is NO nitro motor that can withstand the beatings that a silver can 540 mabuchi motor can handle.

RE: Considering switching to brushless from nitro, need pros and cons
Best pro for electrics is that they are easy. Set it and forget it. Nitro's require constant adjustments, but you have a great feeling of satisfaction when its running good. Also love the sound and smell. GAS is AWESOME, no adjustments like Nitro and almost as easy as electric to get going. Con is that it can be super expensive (set of tires is well over $100).

Yes they are fast instant torque but they still have not solo or sound.[;)] Eclectic all so rule over gasser so what are you trying to say? [8|] Thought this was about gasser and nitro.

Since I am running off road vehicles I do not care about all out top end but if I did I sure would be running an on road vehicle. [:D] [/quote] I'm actually far more impressed by a 20lb gasser going 70+ than a tiny nitro doing over 100. Also, don't forget electric owns nitro in pretty much every category including speed.

The point of their statement was that a .28 does not have enough power to pop a wheelie in a 27lb vehicle.
