RE: supervee 27 brushless ????'s
The only lipos i have at the moment are two 2s 2400 mah for 1/16 mini revo...i really didnt think that those would even come close to working since it 1/16 scale batts vs.1/10 scale i didnt wanna even try lol..

RE: supervee 27 brushless ????'s
So then does the rx get power from the batteries then?, and would 2 3800mah be good enough?

supervee 27 brushless ????'s
Hey guys i got a quick question for ya! I have a supervee 27 brushless and was wondering if the brushless motor should be alittle hard to turn over by hand or if it should be freewheeling and easy to spin over? And also i noticed the esc does not have an on/off switch and no room for a rx pack, and no where in the intructions does it say to plug your rx pack in... im not real new to rc boats just this boat lol, any help would be great thanks andy

RE: Convert a Revo 2.5 to brushless or buy a new 3.3 Mamba
[quote]ORIGINAL: thechap76 the bonus to builing the truck is you get to know the truck...uve built it..theres alotta pride that comes with being able to say ''I BUILT THAT''... but i understand the cost part....in the end i think we would all be happier building are own trucks [/quote] amen to that!! i think that if you build your own truck you do have a lot of pride for and you dont go pyshco on it and beat the everlivn crap out of it.. you apprecaite it more when you do the conversion yourself. i going to be converted my 3.3 race revo in to brushless nightmare on wheels! im going to be using the castle creations mamba max monster system in it!! cant wait to start that project this weekend!!

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
[quote]ORIGINAL: Arakon If it makes a cracking sound and you still have the old bulkheads, that is why.. they get pressed part on hard acceleration and make the gears skip. Replace them with the ''X'' versions (7029x and 7030x I think), and it'll stop. If you don't use those, the ring gear will eventually lose teeth. [/quote] ahhh ok cool thanks!!! now is the new bulkheads made a different material or something? so far this project hasnt been to bad....i do wanna pick up the stock spur and pinion that come on the factory mini revo, will those still get the revo to do the standing backflips with dual 2s lipo 2000mah cause thats what im gonna get for the truck on friday when i head over to the hobby shop andy

RE: OFFICIAL REVO THREAD- EVERYTHING REVO
yea the one first vid that i have up there of the revo is when the motor only had like 12 tanks ran through it....and after that things just seemed to go down hill..i have been thinkin bout going to the reddot..cause the one i had in before was the blue head picco maxx motor...i loved the motor when it ran great..the 3.3 is just temporary for now till i can find a nice motor that will do the job..and having the center diff in the revo made a huge difference..no more wheelies on demand [:o] which is ok..and dkastil.. i too always have my tuning screwdriver on hand as well lol...i think the big problem with my old picco was it might have had an air somewhere that i never could find lol....how is the red-dot picco..i just saw that motor in this months r/c driver mag..

well i think the biggest reason why i didnt like the picco was the fact that when it came to tuning the motor it was so stinkin pickin that even the slightest turn on the needle made the motor to hot or to rich and i could never find that sweet spot so i just gave up on it..but i went to my hobby shop yesterday and picked up a new 17t bell for my 3.3 thats in the revo now..so im gonna try and get it out tomorrow and see what happens....
