My RC8T CE brushless build (tekno V4) - RC-Monster Forums

Yeah and it seems to work pretty good based on your temps! I wonder how fast your truck really are fully charged with ballooning tires..

Sounds good! Keep pushing it when you get time, I like truggys, and I like the look of the wing, but it feels like that is the one thing that will hurt the rest of the platform.. That´s whats holding me back from building a truggy..

Oh! So you are a boatsman are you!

Has This Norweigan guy some 1520´s left?

I really Really want one.. Can´t believe Castle stopped producing them...

When Castle had their sale I was like: " Oh all these people who buys castles big motors just because they are cheep...Lucky me, I will never need one..."

Really has to eat that one up now..

A speed gun or a GPS device will tell you that.

Huh? What? Out of everything about a truggy you are concerened that the WING will hurt the platform? You don't have to run with a wing, you can take it off if you want.

Must be Friday where you are already.... :) Castle is still producing them (http://www.castlecreations.com/produ...le_motors.html), there was just a sale on a bunch of stuff Castle had stockpiled when they moved their operations to a bigger facility. Some of the stuff was mismarked.

Yes I know. Does Mr Ola have a speed gun or gps?

And run it with no protection in the rear for the body?

It must be last april where you are

, look at the page

it shows "no longer available" on every motor except the 1515 and 1512... And there is only "buy now" buttons available for the 1515 and the 1512

But thanks anyway.

Ola:

I´m not worried about cartwheels

I´m worried about under rotated frontflips and overrotated backflips

Your job sounds awsome, how many years were you in school to become a ROV pilot? Driving "RC" stuff at work, what a dream!

Oh crap! I really really want one..

.

Is the Revo still alive or is it on the bench now when the truggy is taking everything like a champ?

Ola · 04.29.2011, 04:57 AM

If flips is youre thing, i dont think a truggy is the way to go, unless you put on huge MT wheels.. But man it flyes nice..

The E-revo is on the shelf.. Actually, i`m considering it for sale now ;)
I`m thinking about another truggy, a D8T as a second car.. I just like the feeling of being twice as good to drive than i was with the E-revo

Guess i`m not the MT type anymore hehe..

ROV pilot isnt a education of itself.. There are mostly electricians/technicians/aircraft mechanics etc in the company :) It`s fun, pay is good, and we work 132 days a year, and the rest off..

Sorry, no GPS or speedgun

Man, i`ve done cartwheeling and crappy landings, and that wing just asks for more, like the rest of the car ;)

Not a boatsman really.. I work as an ROV pilot, mostly on oilrigs and on some boats :)
Sort of a R/C submarine with manipulators (hands) hehe..

The guy has a 1520 and a 1518 left, but he doesnt want to sell them :( If he does, i`m buying both in a flash

"stocking up" was a bit overexadurating i had two so i sold one to him, if i was smart i should have purchased more of them as backup.
