Well, WOW is all I have to say. I was able to coax a 200ft long wheelie out of the truggy several times today! That in itself is impressive as its a 3 diff setup, and the center isn't locked. By no means could i just nail the gas and have it wheelie, I would land a jump and use the front end bounce to get it to nose up at full throttle. From there, I just kept the trigger buried and it would happily ride the rear wing for 200ft or so. And its repeatable. Was pretty cool watching the bystanders watch it waddle accross the green.
Single backflips, easy. I am working on getting up the nerve to hit the ramp at speed and pull a double or triple.
Lots of drag racing today, 3 ways galore.
Hyper 7 w/Hyper 21 8port
Hyper 7 w/Mach 28
TTR Eb4 S1 w/Pro .21R
Jammin CRT w/Team Infinity .27 3port ($70 mill!)
Jammin X1 FTE w/OS 30vg
Had a few combinations. The Truggy was the slowest of the bunch, dead even for about the first 80 to 100ft, after that it ran out of gas and the buggies would walk it.
Hyper 7's and the TTR were on an even playing field, very close.
And the OS 30vg Jammin pretty much would walk about anything on the pavement. Could let all the others have a 20ft lead and still walk by at the end.
Jeff brought his Brushless/LiPo stuff back. He converted a XTM XLB to brushless, was a Neu motor, not sure which one, or which ESC, but running about 18v through it and it was QUICK. He didn't run it for long, still working on the gearing for it but man, it hauls through the grass, could have a LOT of fun with it. His BL Revo was also there and going strong.
Allen pulled off another backflip with the buggy.
And Tim ended up using his buggy's engine like a lathe. Stripped that clutchbell so bad it had a mirror like finish.
For $70 that TI .27 3port is an awesome buy. I've had piston and sleeves cost more! Good power too.
