Brushless Rules! -
05-22-2005, 05:43 AM
I was going to wait for my aluminum to arrive (I've got everything FLM makes) but the BL system was calling me yesterday. I put my new tires on (blades in the front, hole shots in the rear) the Novak system and went outside early (before the birthday party started). WOW! It's like I've got hydrolics on the front of this thing, I can make it hop up and down the road.
I've got to get a wheelie bar now, it flips over way to easy. Here is a pic of the installation, been trying to hold off taking pictures of the truck till after the aluminum arrives. This is my workbench AKA kitchen table;

you should re-gear if it wheelies that easy. that way you can realy scream down the streets.
  bl systems are awsome. you going to use lipo bats? Chicago Local 281, protecting lives and property for over 100 years. Lawn sprinklers save your grass, Fire sprinklers save your a$$

RCDad, your rims are on the Pede wrong. You have the rear rims installed in the front, that's why your offsets are all screwed up. Hopefully you can get the tires off to re-glue them on the right rims.
Hve fun with the BL!

Hey,
What kind of battery are you running on your car. When i got my XXX T i listened to tex and got the GP3700 pack its awsome except the tamiya plug is to short it keeps losing its connection so i gotta fix that. how much did the brushless motor cost. i really want to get one. how fast do you think it can go????? ~Noto

I'll just have to go with them like they are, I glued the sh*t out of them. I use these batteries. I get some great run time and speed with them and the BL setup. Today while making a vid I noticed when putting the movie together I was running the truck for about 15 min. and still had juice to go.

No, there is not a class at Leisure for brushless yet. They run stock (27T), 19t, and modified (any brushed motor). Most people run 10t, 11t, or 12t motors in modified.
I would get that new Novak esc that control brushed and brushless motors this way you can upgrade to a brushless motor when class start opening up for that.
