It's the Sirio .23, -which is basically the same engine. It has an RB 086 pipe and is geared 20/72. Yeah, it does have some serious power. I finally got the drivetrain to the point where I can go and run several tanks of fuel before I grenade something. Thanks for the compliments on the video, -I never would have imagined that anyone from this forum would have found it, but the internet makes it a much smaller world.

Yeah, my 3S gives his 12 cell rig a good run for his money, but it falls just a little bit short. Some more gear, and I could easily pull him with my 9920 controller, -but it would get hot. Geared the way it is right now (20/87), the power meter shows max current at around 90 amps, -so I'm already knockin' on the door of being "done", -at least with a 3S. I have the advantage on overall weight, -his rig is heavy, -which does make it more stable at the higher speeds.

this is true......i wonder if you bumped up to 4s and ran a fan on everything would you smoke him? I just bought two 8000 mah 2's and 1 3s and a hyperion charger....for my bl project...it should prove to be pretty darn fast

Oh yeah, I could spank him easily with a 4S, -and it probably wouldn't overheat if I geared down (which I would need to do anyway). I know that my 7020 can tolerate short 90 amp bursts without going thermal, -so I would like to think that the 9920 would be good for a short run at 120-130 without shutting down.

So, how are you going to arrange your (2) 2S (1) 3S setup? -Or did you plan on even doing that?

I'm always curious about people's success/failure stories about mixing and matching lipoly packs in series and parallel setups.

Regardless, your setup will be plenty fast.

BL RULES!!

That video was awsome. I watched it atleast 20 times. Its saved to my files.

Is $60 shipped a good deal for a fairly new T3 roller?

James, thanks for the compliments on the video, -comments like that make it all worthwhile! I make the videos to motivate people into getting their stuff built and going out and having fun, -that's what it's all about!

As for the $60 T3 roller, -I would say that's a pretty good deal. Just make sure it's complete. I don't know a lot about the T3, but I know my friends T2 looks a lot tougher than my T4. I think my T4 may handle slightly better, but I also think my T4 is also a little more fragile than his T2.

Regardless, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the associated trucks. The stealth transmission seems to be up to the task of handling BL power without too many hickups. I have smoked a ball diff in mine, but I managed to get quite a few "drive it like I stole it" sessions through it before it puked.

Keep us posted on the buildup!

If i wouldnt have seen that video i would never be building this truck right now. I first got a hornet about 2 weeks ago, and it was terible (sp) in the sand, so i was thinging about how i can modify it to make it better. Then i saw the video.

I was going to use 2 2s's in my rc10gt project witha mgm 120 and a wander 12s and run the 3s in my tourer....but i will not wire them in parellel so that i can use in my tourer i need to find a lehner 5300 or something for it...cause i want it to be pretty fast as well it's a pro 4 btw

OH btw james yeah that's a fair price.....people say the t2 is pretty tough but i hear good things about bl's in a t3 so have at it...i wanna see pics of it when it's done...

Im going to make a build up thread
