Emaxx-Revo-Losi 1/5 AWD On-Road racer

If you want to drift, you will need locked rear diff and tight front diff or even locked.
For tyres, i wouldnt go for any pipe, as you have so much power, so try taping tyres for first run, as with pipe you wont have any traction.
I drive 1/10 drift car, and my setup is soft springs and absorders, and locked rear and tight front diffs.
But you cant race and drift with same setups, it makes other one much harder.
And solid center diff, if you have any.

thanks Jabe
Since I already have locked Front & rear and parts to swap to a diff
What problems will there be for offroad?

Basically I am NOT looking to make a All out Drift car but a Rally car with the motor,power and tires to Allow some slide action when on street

and for future upgrades should I run a Diff in front or front and rear and then what Weight of oil ?


Anybody know what Tire great for Hard pack ?

Just got back from hobby shop, picked up a 13t pinion for the Feigao motor, I was not sure where to start on size but it was all they had for 32 pitch

Eventually I'll go with Neu 1515 or something motor
Thanks every body

I'm back ! I got wheels

Help me with suggestions on an ESC !!

I dropped in my Mamba max and 12 nimh cells !
I'd say it maybe goes 22 mph with locked 4wd


so Shopping for a ESC
Mamba monster = only 6s lipo , possible 50 mph with Two 3s lipo 5000
MGM = 10 S lipo max , speeds over 70 mph maybe 80+


Car Weight
7.5 lbs
with Motor no battery 9 lbs
Loaded with 12 Nimh cells 12 lbs


Work To Do:
Motor needs to be lowered onto chassis
Bigger Shocks
Neu motor, not sure which one, maybe 1515
Needs Front Differential or a Xray Trans diff

ESC options:
MMonster
or
MGM 9032 Car/Boat controller 90 Amp

Latest Firmware installed! Future updates via computer download.
New "traditional" style construction with dual heatsinks!
Perhaps the ultimate "big truck" brushless controller! Dual Heatsinks, direct soldered battery and motor leads, 150000 rpm capability( with 2 pole motors), a 90amp capability with up to 32 cells or 10s LIPO packs!Programmable Lipo voltage cutoff, small size.

other high power ESC's 100-250 amp
