Back to thread topic, I have been thinking about this, and I don't know whether I am simply a good driver, or if I am average and the brushless gave me a big lead? Or both? But I find it odd that my first race I nearly got 2nd place, and then my second race I get 1st, by a long shot, left everyone WAY behind, and broke lap records. So what is it? It could be the track that caters to electric power? Could it be the way the truck setup compared to the other trucks? (lowest suspension setting, P3 rockers) Could I have still gotten 1st if I were behind the wheel of a nitro Revo 3.3 setup the same way? Perhaps, I don't know... one thing I do know is.... well, BRUSHLESS ROCKS!
I know I have started a thing with the guys at my track, the fasest guy there converted a 8b to Tekin system, and he wants to do a truggy for next year, along with 2 other guys are on the band wagon to get some BL truggies for next year as well. |
whaaat? Why, I never!
Bollocks, sir...pure and simple.
just kiddin. :)
Hmm...yes, well, I have been told that several times. The 1.5D is stupid on 4S...and on 5S it's not even anywhere close to a matchup. I was supposed to to do the 2.5D, but when I was ordering the motor, I had two in my shopping cart...and I inadverdantly cancelled out the 2.5D and instead bought the 1.5D. Didn't find out until later (and after they had shipped the motor).
Great.
Oh well...perhaps in the future I'll get a lower KV motor and get off the LV wagon, but a couple things keeps me on it:
1) I'd have to buy another motor. Don't think I want to starting spending thousands again to get another good setup
2) battery collection. The highest voltage batt I have is a 4S. If I were to switch out to a HV setup, that means I'd need to replace the current battery collection, which is already sitting at about $1500 bucks (more if you count the batts that sacrificed themselves in the conquest of power).
And then, I think I'm awfully spoiled by this monster of a motor. It's so insane I just absolutely love it.
