MetalMan + BP-Revo BL Revo Bash
 

Well, its a little more than just us and the Revo's. One of my buddies was piloting my Revo 2.5R and one of MetalMan's buddies had his N-Rustler 2.5 (Andrew and John). MetalMan also had his MT2 18SS with him. I had my Jato 2.5 and T-Maxx, but never got a chance to bring em out - oh well.

The Blue BL Revo is MetalMan's. - 7XL, Mamba Max ESC, and 5s2p A123 M1 cells

The HPI MT2 18SS is also MetalMan's. 8L, Mamba Max ESC, and 4s2p A123 M1 cells

The Nitro Rustler 2.5 is Johns. It was put out of commission early in the vid by a failed CVD (lost the pin).

The Revo 2.5R (Nitro) is mine, and was driven by Andrew for the beginning of the video. The last minute or so where the jumps get bigger (crashes too lol) are me driving it.

My G2R is the black and red one - specs in my sig. As you can see, I didn't do anything crazy as I was running with a bent chassis (both X-Braces bent on my last track day!).

Anyways, here's the vid:

And, a special thanks to Wes, who did the filming. Wes and MetalMan did the editing (I think).

PS. Chances are, round 2 will be this coming Monday. :027:

If anyone happens to notice or care, the wheel change on my G2R was a result of a stripped hex. Also stripped a hex on my Revo 2.5R when pulling the crazy jumps (don't mind my crashing - I mean driving - skills lol).

i saw it lol like i said, it was hard to find u travis :D lol flipping, wheelies lol

thats a sweet vid! but still doesnt work

I still can't get it... lol

youtube is working fine :) try my new video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwnFHlkmxBY

I'm working on uploading a the rest of the footage....

1st video stil doesn't work. The second one form glassdoctor is very cool. Did anything break? Usually are a lot mroe brittle in the cold. That is one big jump as well. Looks like tons of fun.

Wow that thing flew!!! You must be getting killer runtimes with those 12K's...

Cool... the Revo 2.5 had a nice face plant into that rock, lol............

Nice videos guys! Cant wait to see bash 2 BP! :)

Nice vid, i would personally not added music, i (and some others as well) like hearing the RC instead of music.

nice video! i hope to be back in the brushless game in a few months.

Hey tally! Are you keeping your revo or starting with another truck?

whats up! no, the revo has been gone for around a month, so i'm going to build a gmaxx/ue racer. probably going with 1930/1940 on 4s lipo paired with a 36/120 or 36/150(if they make it). i'm waiting to see what gorilla has up their sleeve.:032:

its a nice vid...but that high flying jammin was priceless!

bp u really ubuse ur revo lol more then i thought u would after seeing u baby the g2r(i would to tho lol)

and mm, did u bend anything? on the e revo?? u took some hard hits there :D

The G2R was being babied because its currently running with two bent X-Braces. One hard hit could bend the X-Braces more which would then cause something else to get damaged. Speed runs and light jumps are ok, but not much more. If it wasn't bent, I'd probably jump it a little more, but not really. One of these days I'll get a vid of it at the track :018:

The Revo 2.5R is my basher truck. I let it all loose when I drive that thing. Its the most durable truck, well, ever, in my opinion. I've driven that thing harder and harder every time I take it bashing and its actually never broken (unless you can loosing a setscrew and stripping a hex). I've been knocking on wood forever and this thing is still going. However, my starter motor is going out - the gear is slipping on the shaft. I'll have to get a new one of those...I'm just going to keep trying to use it until the motor just totally gives.

When the motor gives out, I'm going to do a mini-overhaul on key components. I'll be putting a 3.3, FOC, changing the gearing to suit my driving, slotted/vented brake rotor, tekno stuff, and hopefully a Spektrum Receiver (so I can use my CRX with it) and some servo's. Its all a matter of cost though...I'm really low on cash right now... on top of that, I've been dying to get a touring car too... (and touring cars are expensive!).

i know about the x braces, just my first impression ( and i forgot about the braces) i thoght it was going to babied lol but was i wrong:005:

and yeh touring cars are pricey, but well worth it

That looked like fun. both of them.

Yea...I've been wanting something I can do like 80mph with hehe...thats where my touring car will fit in...maybe I'll do a few races too (hopefully with some nitro guys so they can drop their jaws to the floor when I blow by them going 2x faster :D )

yeh and there nitro cars fall aprt when a 300 mph wind flys past the nitros lol and ur car is on fires from going so fast :D

We had another bash today at the same location. This time, I brought 4 cars instead of 2, but I didn't drive one of them. BP-Revo brought the nitro Revo, his G2R, his 2.5 Jato, and his 18T. Another buddy of mine came with his RC10GT, and BP-Revo's friend Andrew (from last time) also came.

Unfortunately my sister somehow managed to damage the video camera, so we didn't get any video footage. However, we did bring the digital camera and Wes took some still action shots. Here are the pics:

Enjoy!

Very nice pictures. Is that your Xterminator in the 1st 4 pictures? That 1st pic is just awesome. Should be on the cover of a magazine. Now in the 6th pic, was the revo jumping over the water? It looked a little strange, going WOT right into water, lol.

Edit, nevermind. I just realized thta they were two different pictures, lol. Stupid me.

u can see if u look hard, thats where the pics join lol so no thats a pic on just grass

very nice pics man! were u jumping the water tho??

and i hope that buggy is bl lol

LOL I was thinking the exact same thing when I looked at them. :p

Nice action shots MM!! I still perfer video though. Do me a favor.... Tell you sister thanks alot from all of us here at RCM.:D

The first Revo picture is just after it went through that water (you can see water dripping under it). The next Revo picture is just after the water, and the tires are flinging the water off.

There wasn't any water jumping, but at one point my buggy managed to hit that puddle and get the receiver wet. I had to wait about half an hour for it to dry out (it's my only receiver).

The buggy is my X-Terminator, back from the dead :D. And yes, it's BL. In some of the pics you can see some wires, and no cooling head.

I'll make sure to tell Wes about these comments on the pics.

Nice pics! Too bad the cam didnt work. Looks like you guys had alot of fun!
