As most of you know I detest nitro....wasted too much money and time with them..
But I love my trusty old Dominator....so it was overdue to resurrect it as brushless...

How it was in the begining..

No more nitro for me...EVER..
It's way quicker and faster than when it was nitro...running 3s....
On 4s it's just plain stupid..:w00t:

Looking nice.
How's the weight - lighter / heavier?
Weight distribution - much the same or have you been able to adapt to make even more stable?
How's the temperatures? ESC, motor, cables?
Which system are you using - didn't recognise the ESC / motor?

Have you nuked the slipper yet? (I have to have my E-Maxx clamped tight or it's like a 1:1 car with slipping clutch and resultant smell!! :lol::lol:)

looking good ross, i love the 1,8th buggys there just so tuff i had a hyper7 got fed up trying to tune it and sold it on, but brushless is a cool idea ,to be honest i think a lot of people have a nitro 1st then a gasser then electric it seems a lot less hassle.

Click to expand...

The weight is the same as when it was nitro with the 3s on board....with 4s it's about 100 grams heavier..
I have the weight distribution central with 3s..
Temps on the esc and motor are around 50 deg c on both 3s & 4s...
The esc is the HobbyKing 150 amper....was only 60 bucks..
The motor is from Psyclone hobbies...36/74....2370kv..pushing 3hp on 4s..

No slipper on this beastie....direct drive...:cool:
 
Good to hear bud...ya can't have too many leccys.....
Lemme guess......is it 1/8 scale??? running on 4s???

I hope it isn't another BSD......do you know what BSD stands for???

Bull Shite Design:lol:
 
nah not 1/8 mate, and looks like I might not be getting it anymore, looks like a dodgy ebay seller is trying to take me to the cleaners, cant be having that!
 
another update, looks like im still getting it.

ill start a new thread when its ready to run and I can get some pics up, it stays a secret for the time being :D
