Seriously though, have you run it yet on just one 2S? If so, a 3S might be more your speed.
Yeah, add it as smoke bomb with the daytime parachutes and salutes for a great daytime show.

Make sure all the universal joints will hold up, I blew out 2 of them on 12 cells from doing standing backflips. Its ok to do one or two but when you're doing three or four in a row like I did, it mulches the yokes and universal joints. Other than that they seem to be like my Slash, tough as nails.

Seems about right. Will the hacker motor handle 12 cells that is my main question. I like the VXL one but it runs a little hot in mine on 12 cells, ok on 6 but kinda hot on 12.

Seriously though, wouldn't it be a better idea to tun the Sidewinder 1/10 rather then the Micro Pro? Also, does Hacker even make a 380-400 BL replacement motor?

i think its stronger than my big revo. it has no weight to it, so when it does wreck it doesn't have anything behind it to break stuff!

I'm running dual 2s in parallel right now but i'm gonna make a series connector to run 4s

I'll def get pics up soon

Mark must of loved that. You know he secretly loves the mini's.

Here is mine (I mean my sons). 2 cell zippy lipo and kyosho wheels. On the track I think your novak will be a lot better. The traxxas has plenty of power but really isn't smooth. Atleast not compared to my tekin rs's.

Just wanted to post some pics of how my progress has gone, so far ive already changed the Wheels, jumped the gearing MUCH TALLER than stock, cut some holes for air to get into the motor/esc, slammed the car on the ground, and im running 4S lipo ill get soem video soon but all i can tell you know is this bad boy FLIES!!!






PS i added a small fan to the ESC, i personally have never over heated the ESC but since ive read many people having problems i figured extra cooling is always a plus!

+1 for me too.

I think I remember someone saying stock springs in the front, tan in the rear?? Then 60-80 wt. oil seems like what everyone is settling on.

Any part numbers for the springs and where to get them?
