E-revo HD On Board Video

Pinion change on E-revo

Changed the pinion today on my E-revo from a 16t to 19t. Theres not really that much change but slightly more top end speed. Will post speed test results soon. 

E-revo clean up

 

It was time to give the e-revo a quick clean up from running in very dusty gravel, the greatest thing will a waterproof truck is that its so easy just to spray it down with the hose. Just remove all the electronics the motor is in fact 100% waterproof as it is brushed so cannot be harmed by water but i removed it anyway. You can see the difference in the last two images.

New Pics of Hyper 7

These pics were taken today on a field near my house!

Its not very clean im going to strip it down today and clean/grease everything up. Im still considering going brushless with this just need to think long and hard if it will be the right choice. 

The Current Specs are:

Single Titan 775 In e-revo (Pictures, What i used and Temps)

So here goes:

What i used:

• 4x10mm Countersunk screws (4x8mm would also work)
• Single titan 775 
• RW 32 DP Pinion 16 teeth for 5mm shaft 
  
• Stock motor mount
• 2x Turnigy 2s 5000mah lipos
• Gv models li-protector

I took it for a test drive an hour ago everything seemed ok and straight away i noticed a huge performance gain even on a 16t pinion, i was taking it easy for first 10 mins just to let
everything settle down etc. Now i got a little excited and went all the way a stupid thing to do i know with a new motor but i just couldn't resist. WOW the torque of that motor is beyond belief twin titans just dont compare to the sheer power that the single 775 produces. All was going well until the pinion dropped off. The main problem i found was the shaft is a little short on the motor so i had no choice but to move the pinion back a little to stop it from falling off.

Now that was an easy fix and i can't see it giving me any more problems.

As for temps i was getting:

MOTOR : 93.02F
ESC : 89.6F

was getting the same reading on my DX3S aswell so that backs it all up.

I think a 19t or more could be used but keep an eye on the temps. Im not looking for speed so a 16t should see me fine for now.

Some of my past RC's!

I thought it would be nice to show you Some of my past rc's!

First up is a Nanda Raptor, which i can tell you i didnt have a good experience with. I originally brought it from FTQ models in Ilford, It cost me £400 which was a complete waste of money considering it only worked a few times and being new to the hobby i didnt have a clue as to what was wrong. In the end i couldnt be bothered with it and sold it on ebay getting only £110 for it which was a great dissapointment!

Heres a pic:

Next up was a Hpi E10:

From the E10 i then moved onto a Nitro Sport from traxxas which was a great model but sadly had to go due to needing money to buy bigger better cars!

Traxxas Nitro Sport:

Losi Mini Rock Crawler:

This car was great it was only really suited to indoors use due to it being small (1/18th Scale).

I have also had a few low budget cars such as the Ansmann Macnum, Madrat and Royal Flash just for fun due to them being so cheap to buy. The only problem with these cars is that they are very bad quality and parts tend to break extremely easy. 

Hope you enjoyed this post!
