sweet vids, that rc10l sounds like a jet

Guess 90.1 is the record for a 1/5th scale.......that gives me something to shoot for...hehe.

Yeah I printed out the picture already and am scribbling where I can put everything. The posts on the sides will be battery trays. Like the one this guy did.......PERFECT for 12S :party:

Man look at that car, so much you can do with it, thats going to be 1 sick ride. Ive been wanting to see something like that bad. I was just hoping to get mine moving without gasoline lol, but a 4wd 1/5 car 100+ man im envious !

I talked to a company today that sells them. They apparently are interested in selling me a roller.....so that is all I need. I'm going big on the motor though. I think just a single 1527 or 2215 minimum and then a SHV controller.

Yep, that's the one I'm talking about. I'm in contact with the factory that makes it. Hopefully they should send me one so I can convert for them.

Edit: I asked them to take out the engine, gas tank and those side gears.

Let me know if they work with you. This car looks like the PERFECT canidate for very high speed passes and the stock body looks to be perfect for 100+ mph passes. The car in general looks great for racing.....looks solid.

Do you have he ones that shows inside it? If not here it is: http://www.onefive.de/e-power/.

I gave the guy from http://www.largescalerc.com/ some advice and I wanted to help more, but I needed the vehicle here to make all the necessary changes. I gues he didn't trust me on this one. Here is the thread: http://www.therczone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15651.

What voltage is he running that Bolido on???

Looking at that video of the 1/5th scale doing 90mph he must be running around 4000 watts or so. That car is pretty big, and impressive.

1 thing about the car maybe to check on (it hit me which one it was), i saw it a few months ago on an australian site and read about a couple who wanted to import them and they got 5 monster trucks of these its pretty much the same chassis aarms etc i think, and the aarms kept popping off, this was probobly because it was made into a monster truck but i think the lower aarms are attached to the chassis not held to the front bulk thing with hinge pin style. Probably not a problem with onroad 1/5 as you dont hardly have any travel or they fixed it, this was a few months ago. Just thought id mention it.

The max voltage stated by Plettenberg is 10S lipos. The Bolido is a very special motor from what Plettenberg told me. They are 10 pole and produce just a ton of torque. That's why they only rate the motor for around 5kW. Electric motors also make power from torque and the Bolido has plenty of it.

Yes, 4884 watts to be exact. Man I had my 1521/1Y doing 4760 watts on 10S. After I have some fun with my truck on 6S, I'll start getting it ready for 10S speed runs with the 1521/1Y and 12S with the 1521/1.5Y.
