Lowering BL Revo CoG.

[suicideneil]

You can heat up CF and reshape it (over a wooden mold for example), though its not as good as a piece that was laid wet into a mold and pre-formed to the required angle. Still, worth thinking about, maybe even prototyping with a cheap piece of CF, test it and see how it holds up, before deciding on a more expensive piece of CF etc..

Hmm, I don't think I would come up with anything aesthetically pleasing if I heated and bent it myself.

I really like the way Dafni did his batt mounts, only with CF like with Serum's Revo 2.5 conversion.

How low does the GM Revo chassis go, was it all the way down to skidplate level? I wonder why they stopped selling them? Just because the E-Revo came out?

HERE is the CF angle I was looking at, looks like a good size, although I would prefer a 2" size, this is 1.5". So if this is the biggest CF angle I can find, I would have to set the batteries on edge as to avoid the packs sitting over the edge and getting abused. Then all I would need is sticky velcro where the pack would sit, and two velcro straps, and that should do the trick.

What do you think of this motor? I know Sike should be here now to give a brew some experienced suggestions.

Scorpion outrunner:

332Kv.
14 poles
2000watts continuous? seems high for cont.
8s max

Would run 6s, that works out to 47mph, not a whole heck of alot higher top speed than it is now, ~42mph, but non the less, should be less, maybe around 280 - 300 Kv. would be nice.

Sike, would you recommend an outrunner for racing? Are you still using the outrunner in your truck?
