ChampN252 Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 I just watch some of that vid and that truck had ridiculous power. Almost too much. I probably will give electric try the next time.

hzsogood Posted March 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 whats the best Lipo battery to use for the 1/16 Revo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herbykw Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I kinda think it's a wise idea to go the electric route, especially nowadays like the OP said. With any nitro, you'll be buying fuel, glow plugs, batteries for the glow plug lighter, air filters, etc. It ain't cheap, which is why I'm trying so hard to get rid of mine. Treated correctly, a brushless system should require a heck of a lot less maintenance. I'll say it again- I'm a fan of Revos. The two vids posted show it can take a beating pretty well, like its larger sibling. However...2wd is more fun if you wanna be able to step the rear end out and slide the truck around (even) more... I use Nitro cars. I have a Jato 3.3, Ofna Hyper 1/7 and a Revo 3.3(my wifes). A gallon a fuel last us a while, and since both of ours have the easy start, with rechargeable batteries, we dont have to worry about glow plug lighters. After having the easy start, I couldnt go back to pull start. I love the sound that the nitro cars make. I did consider going Electric, just cause you dont have tune them, and worry about fuel, glow plugs ext. Check out Losi, they have some cool looking cars too. This is the Speed T, its checp, but the base price doesnt include the battery or charger(if i read it right). http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0101 Looks like a cool car though. Tent T Nitro comes with telemetry on the remote showing current and top speed, temp ect. plus has a engine start from the remote. http://www.losi.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=LOSB0126 Edited March 16, 2011 by herbykw Quote 06 300C 5.7 Hemi K&N CAI JVC KW-AVX640 6.1" DVD DC Audio 3.5k 6 DC Audio 8"s 6 cubes 8" aero port at 32hrtz http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/183798-chrysler-300c-8-build/?p=2731834#entry2731834 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyvader Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 HPI hellfire ftw, you have the handling of a buggy but the suspension of a truck. They low to the ground, fast out of the box, affordable and not to mention they look meannn Quote 2006 Malibu Maxx SS 4 sa 12's D2 2 audiopipe 3k's 4 UPS batteries 2 runs of 0awg Walled at 34hz How does a sport like this do in tough economic times? Just fine. There are 465 events listed in the current season. "Our competitors can't even spell recession," says dB drag racing impresario Wayne Harris.

Honestly bro .. I appreciate the post, but you are the first peron in about 100 ppl that have said anything negative about the Revo 1/16 The slash 4x4 is ugly imo lol ( yea yea its a electric toy ) but still .. My NEXT RC will be a brushless Revo or a Emaxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
