New Car project, with budget.
 

Hello.

I have been created one E-Revo, and it was quite funny car. Now I am looking for good project, because I sold that car out.

What ideas you guys have to high power brusshles project, if my budget is: 1500$ .

I have been think about cheap LiPo packs, like 5000mAh 20-30C 4S or 5S packs. That car would be 1:8 car, so it can be monster, truggy or buggy.

Any ideas ?

I have been take a look of Mamba Max monster and some radios, but I dont know what car would be good for my project.

E-Revo is not very fast at all, but buggy should be good for fast car project. I love to build cars, so building is not problem. I can use some tools and dremel offcorse if needed, if there is good car for modify.

Motor & ESC ideas ?

Any ideas are wellcome: electrics ideas, battery ideas, motor ideas and car ideas.

Is those Zippy LiPo packs worth it: www.hobbycity.com ? They looks good but they are VERY cheap packs, are they safely packs ?

Thanks for all who want to answer.

convert a motorcycle. the thunder tiger electric version would be cool.

Nah, I want car =) . Bike is not my thing, yet.

you said yet, there is still a chance.:lol:
Well at 1500 you could almost choose anything you want. I have always loved the Kyosho ST-RR. Well actually the ST-R but the ST-RR is suppose to be even better. It is a pricey truggy but IMO it is worth every penny.

Hyper ST or a 808.

Okay. What car is that "808" ? It sounds like tamiya ? Or what it is ? Kyosho is good, but the part prices are higest I know.

parts are pricey but you have to break em to replace em. I believe the 808 is an Xray

Okay. What you guys think about HoBao Hyper ST truggy ? It looks good and its not too pricey. Where I should buy it ? I can buy it from anywhere =) .

good choice. Buy it from where you find it the cheapest. Others can chime in on where that may be.

Okay. What about the "electrics" ? What would be good motor & ESC to that car ? Those Zippy LiPos are cheap packs, but when I readed some comments in there forums, all peoples said that they are fine packs- If I dont buy them , I will take Polyquest or Maxamps maybe.

So, I dont know what motor and ESC I will buy, and how much voltages do I use. 4S would be good start ?

Thanks for every answers ! This is great place to ask help :) .

if you are doing 4s go with a 1515 1y. I run a 1y on 5s and it is awesome. The MMM should be back in production real quick so i would go with that. Now i am iffy on the zippys, i to am debating on buying some. They are cheap that is for sure.

Yeah. But I dont find ANY neu motors and ANY Zippy packs on stock... So, where I can get those things if anything that I try to find is "Out Of Stock"... That why I am not using rc-monster shop. Mike wont reply my e-mail messages and no one care that I cant get any things from any shops. I live in Finland so I cant use nesail webshop.

Sad.

you order the neu form castle creations and it takes about 2-3 weeks max to get it. They build to order! the zippys i am not sure. You could always go trackpower but they are 119 for a 2s and you need 2 for 4s.

Neu from Castle Creations ? But I dont think so they are giving motor like Neu 1515 1Y .

I need -> 2000Kv motor, so less than 2000 is not very good thing if we think good speed.

scroll down and click build it. Choose the KV you want but i would go at least a 1512 but 1515 is better.
