Planning a summer E-Revo build!

Figured I'd unload a small update on you guys. I got a new body painted, and threw it on for a little bash after an afternoon drizzle.

Here's what mine looks like on its best behavior... after some fun in the mud:







Lastly, but not least:


Still haven't run an entire pack through it all at once. This session ended when the pillow balls popped out of the knuckle.

I'm a tad disappointed with the Quark. It's rated at 6s, but I'm inclined to believe that it's reaching the thermal shutdown after about 10 minutes of running WITH a BEC on 4s. Either that or the 9XL is thermaling. No smoke, just a lack of throttle response. I'm tempted to take it out of the shell and run it like that, or even shrink wrapped to help with airflow, as the "heatsinked case" doesn't appear to be very efficient at all. Looks like there's a MMM in my near future.

It's running on two broken right arms. The initial cracks formed pretty easily, but they're holding up really well despite being broken. I did a LOT of cartwheeling on this last session, and the left side knuckle popped off before I fully broke the right arms. I'll get a photo up soon.

Also, I got the body in from Norm at team3six. It is GODLY. I'm really pretty impressed with it. I haven't mounted it yet, as I'm going to do a tear-down of the Revo beforehand, and get it cleaned up for a potential photo shoot.
