This is the first video of my 1/16th E-Revo with the Mamba Max 540 Size 5700kV (1/10th Scale) Conversion.

It’s Alive!

It's been a while since I had a chance to update the site. Sorry about that.

I've had a few people asking how the project alluded in the last post was coming. Here's a peak of it's progress:

More to come.

Big Ass Wheels

Brennan — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 19:33:05 +0000

The wheels are turning, proverbially and literally. The "Unbreakable" Savage Build continues. The wheels are installed and can be seen in the picture below. There'll be a few changes from the plans on the project page, the most obvious being that I won't be able to install the HPI 17mm Hex Hub conversion set as planned as I'd have to install smaller (and therefore more easily broken) dogbones to accommodate them. We're looking for a 17mm hex adapter similar to what Traxxas offers for their Revo and Maxx trucks. Unfortunately the Traxxas one won't work on the Savage because of it's different hub design.

More coming soon...

Winter Blues

Brennan — Fri, 20 May 2011 16:11:14 +0000

Winter tends to be the bane of this hobby for most of us who live in more temperate climates. Fortunately the snow has now melted and the projects can continue. I'll be determining the best pinion/spur to use for the M18 Speed Project so we can get some speed runs and should be completing the Unbreakable Savage Project soon and putting it to the test.

If you are interested in RCs That can be run in the Winter, check out our Dual 775 E-Maxx. Near brushless power and a weatherproof design.

Stay tuned.

M18 Pro Speed Build Project Page is Up

M18 Pro Speed Build Update

Brennan — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 18:41:10 +0000

Just another quick teaser for you all. Been testing this with a small pinion and it just flies as you could see in the video. We've limited space to test it in presently until the snow melts but we should be able to hit some ridiculously high speeds once we throw a larger pinion in. Three cell LiPo is in, (and could be seen in the teaser video) new tires and body are on order too.

Quick Specs List so far:

This is shaping up to be a ridiculously fast little car. Stay tuned.
