i have a macbook pro and when i d/l it it saves as a quicktime but then it says its in the wrong format :(

What about a Summit body with the exo-cage? It actually does a decent job of protecting the body.

What's with all you nitros?

I log in and it's nitrostarter, nitropyro and what's_nitro all viewing LMAO

Sorry about the format issue pyro, you'll have to wait til my finished edit is up. You can kill some time watching some of my older vids, they're mildly entertaining... link below.

Mr. Starter, (I'm not typin' the n word again) the Summit body is actually the right wheelbase, but again, nope. You see how low profile it is, (even with the piece of 1" foam taped to the top) and I want to keep it that way. A tall body, even lightweight, will kill the handling. Nice to know I have so many options, but I gotta do it my way. I'll do my best to make the forum proud!

Understood...

Definitely keep up posted on my new body.

I'm sure that was a typo.. or was it?

Well I didn't page back earlier what's_ , but a Benz?

Wait, lemme wipe my feet before I get in hehe.

That is eerily close to what I had in mind, we are on the same wavelength I reckon!

That's wild, and even wilder that it's a Mercedes! That would be like H-D making a fast motorcycle. Or a good looking one...

....how many members did I just alienate

Oh and it has been officially named, it is now known as Recon. Hard to title a vid without a name.... so there you have it, and video will be up on my Vimeo page after around 1 AM EST.

Enjoy!

I agree with you on this one Redshift. We can understand how people have hung onto their old site names when things were still so heavily held up with all the nitro vehicles dominating the R/C scene, but that is no longer true. It is obvious to me that Brushless has pretty much shown that it is the wave of the future and is taking over in the R/C community. Plus this site has very much so become the go to site for brushless R/C conversions. Time to update and change with the times.

Did the video suck that bad?

Finally got it today, RTR 12.2 pounds!

With both servos it will still be under 12.5, the 1520 is laughing.

What's yours weigh Brian?

I was guessing around 13 with mine, so I was very surprised to see less. So I'm allowing myself 13 with body piece(s) included, then I'll set about removing bulk to get it back down to 12.5 or less, completed.

magman · 08.31.2010, 06:54 PM

not sure actually...i have no scale to weight it on at home. I am guessing around 11 lbs. I could lessen the weight with different tires, cf towers, etc....but with the 1520, why bother.

Oh yeah, I'm lovin that.

I know this motor is an animal in just about anything up to 16 pounds, but yeah 11 pounds would make it crazy!

My tires are finally untaping themselves, can't complain as I got a year out of the tape job. But road runs at full T are not easy now, it gets squirelly. I need to look into some silicone for the diff cups, I have been using STP oil treatment in the cups. I still won't run anything else for the ring/pinion, but the diffs are unloading more than I'd like, which is 100% the reason the tape is coming loose. With these same tires on my Maxx, which was spooled in the rear, the front diff behaved itself.

Kcaz25 · 08.31.2010, 10:54 PM

Redshift! I'm very excited about this build! I loved your Maxx.

It doesn't look like you have any kick up. WHY?! Its just a basher so who cares? Is that the reasoning?

nitrostarter · 08.31.2010, 11:16 PM

Dude! You've been holding that video out for 2 years? The time stamp does not lie...

Only kidding, but great video!!

Soro · 09.01.2010, 07:32 AM

Nice build

Keep on going
