Transformation of E Maxx to 1/5 scale Rally Drift and Jump 4WD

I have the 5 cell version 30c and my freind has 4 of the 3 cell versions. He thinks they are the best lipos he has ever used. They also have a warranty on them. Also they sell a 1/5 and 1/8 esc. I dont know much about it but its only 150$. worth a try. The thunderpower and those brands will cost 350$ for the same 5000mah battery. It is worth trying this. you can get three for less. I liked mine atleast.

they are on back order :-(

how many charges/cycles are they up to ?

I'm looking at XPS batteries 6s 5000 30c $160. but they are on back order also
4000 6s for $140.0

Anybody know of cheap smoke system ?
like to have some flowing

Finished drive shafts, the rear is 9" is has very slight movement but cannot feel vibrations so I'm going to try it

Added some Revo Front upper A-arms for the Upper rears.
made some Camber rear links

The wheels stick out from the body 1/2"
so I cut down the A-arms 1/4 "

ALL this and now the Radio wont sync with ESC anymore ! :-( :shock: :evil: :?
other radio's dont work either. sending it back.
I tried driving it with my DX6 stick radio but the car is too fast to deal with a stick controls. But the car is insanely powerful It burns out at 15 mph for over 10 feet

Been wanting a pistol grip for my Crawler and now this Beast needs a reliable radio so I'm GOING TO ConVerT a Spectrum DX6i into a Pistol grip


I'll post Video

Please post pics of your radio conversion. There are some cheap 2.4 4 and 6 channel sticks out there. I just can't handle driving with a stick, gotta have a pistol.
 
Wow! :shock: Looks great! Is it possible to convert a stick into a radio??

Off coarse :) it's just components, I mentioned doing it in the 3 way switch mode dx6i thread and now Clockworks in nearly finished his 6ch pistol- Beat me to my own idea :twisted::mrgreen:
I took apart my Dx6 but it will be a lot easier if I use a 6i, so I'm shopping for a Spectrum
I am NOT a China,Taiwan, KOrea copying product buyer. If the USA design and built it I'm NOT going to Support asia for their illegal acts :evil::evil:
 
Yah, I just now found all the radio conversion threads. I think I need one now. I blame you for this :ror:
 
LOL :) Yea I started a thread also, but then soon realized I'm better off using a 6i instead. So I'm shopping for a cheap one and even though I have a pistol empty case I'm scouting for a nicer handle and body

there's a 6ch pistol on youtube from spain !
 
uh still no word from Castle.

wait for it wait for it :|

Castle replaced the proccesor
I replaced the rx and it was off driving again !

This car is so fun to drive :mrgreen: :mrgreen::mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Havent taken it to the school yard yet, so I think I have only gotten to 45-50mph down my street half throttle

I gunned the throttle and the car actually jumped into the air ! and landed on it's side :shock:

It was not to long after I broke the weld on the rear drive shaft

Once I know it's not going to brake I'll post video and maybe a car chase following in a real car

There's a Bicycle velodrome mayb I can get into and drive it
 
It's getting faster ! up to aprox 55mph

Big draw back was the body
so I glued in the rear windows to keep air from filling the body as it was making the car fish tail over 40mph
also added 2 more body supports,
Great results, I can drive it straight now

I took it to the local track, but they had already packed it up(wood boards)

so I just followed the tire marks, got on the throttle but the tires would break loose, soon after the collar broke that holds the front diff.

Looking into new 1/5 wheels http://www.fgsupply.com/GRP-STC_Tires_C_Medium_Glued_on_Wheel_White.html

hopefully it will keep me glued on the road

once It stops breaking I'll POST VIDEO ok:mrgreen:

haha sorry it is breaking much less so I have been enjoying it and forgetting the camera. plus I am using the ESc for my Berg and now building my associated Gt truck converting it to electric and extending the wheel base to 13" for Shortcourse driving :D.
I'll get back to the Rev-Osi, I will need to grab the wife and replace the cracked Bulkheads and it should give some good video time

thanks for the demand "thumbsup"

Thank you

I am searching for a better body, the yellow body is really holding it back on handling and speed.
I also got caught up in re working the suspension, so I am building them like Champ car and F-1 . making Horizontal shocks.

Mock up of support for shock pivot

If anybody knows some Forum or place or person that shows how to make Polycarbonate body or in anyway to help me get a Lola or GTP type body I would really appreciate it.

Here is what I am aiming for : (from my Xbox360)
