So now hobbyists will have a choice between the E-Revo BLE and this. 2009 is going to be a good year for brushless monster trucks.


E-Revo - Mega ACn 22/45/1E MMM 6S
E-Maxx - Feigao 7XL MM 4S
AX10 RTR - Stock :D
Micro-T - Losi LiPo upgrade
Mini LST2 - Discarded. Useless POS.
1/8 Scale Baja Bug - Medusa 36-50-3300 eZrun 60A 3S

The Firestorm is a sidewinder ESC. I've driven a Firestorm & all I have to say is, holy crap they are quick!!

1/2 throttle & zinga it's sliding down the road on it's roof backwards!

I heard that XRay are developing a 1/8 BL buggy.

Drove a BL E Revo the other day too, that was pretty quick. We've got a few guy's with BL 1/8 stuff down here now.

It's looking very promising for race days having our own BL class.

My CRT pulls wheelies very easily on 80% punch control. Going to drag it back to 100% for racing tomorrow.

i think they are the first to advertise standing backflips, i hope theyre using the new xl drivetrain, because thats HARD on stuff, well we know they went with a dual battery setup because in its 60mph discailmer it says on 2x3s lipos.... im curoius to see some body off shots also

I hope they make it to where you can run 1 large lipo pack or run the 2 smaller 3s packs. Thats my main gripe about the e-revo.

after carefully pausing the video when the truck does a backflip on the curb I was able to see a bit and pretty sure the are using a battery set-up similar to the e-savage, meaning sideways! but it's pretty hard to see so dont shoot me if this isn't correct! lol pause it at 43sec when the truck falls back down to the curb! :O)

If it didn't they wouldn't have the sides completely blacked out in the pic.

yeah just like my 8xl on 4s lipo was to much torque for my light e-maxx! always on 2 wheels! not very good and gets boring after a while! that`s why I like higher kv a bit and smaller motors! more control and easier on the drivetrain! lol

Sorry been away for 4 days - Yes these motors are very familiar ;)

They are CC 1515s with a different case design - You won't be disappointed... Not though that it makes them 48mm+ in diameter...
