IMO it looks quick for a blizz, but it could prolly go faster.... the 'brakes' seem a little too strong tho.... like your doing endo's everytime you hit the stoppers... I mean the electrical braking on the 5800, not the literal brake discs which steer it, the steering looks spot on.....

If you don't set them up to be pretty strong you won't have very much steering at medium to high speeds, but they will be too strong at slower speeds. What locks them up at slow speeds won't make it turn at all at half to full throttle. I am playing with neg. steering expo. on the radio to try to limit the servo throw around the neutral area to try to make the braking/steering more linear- weaker around the neutral and full strength right at the end. As far as the braking on the brushless- I have the drag brake truned off and the End point for the brakes/reverse turned down to 8. It doesn't seem to endo quite as much on smoother surfaces as it does on the choppy grass - the treads just catch a little grass/dirt clod and throw it sideways.

It sucks that you bent the sideplates, but I suppose its alright as long as its an easy fix. I hope to see some videos to come, perhaps even try running the EV off of a jump?

When I wrote that I invisioned my home, which has lots of snow outside and small hills/jumps with soft landings. I suppose in your case going off a jump really wouldn't be a good idea...

Worthy of the Trax! Posts: 38 Group: Member Member #48 Joined: January 26, 2006	nice vid looks pretty quick witht that bl system. we need snow!! so the chains and tracks cant hold up very well to that kind of power im assuming?

Worthy of the Trax! Posts: 29 Group: Member Member #39 Joined: January 9, 2006	The chains and tracks seem to be doing just fine. They both stretched a little after the first couple runs. I adjusted the tension and haven't had to touch them since.

From factory? i think the pitch is 42 but im not sure...... i was wondering why you used the sphere instead of a novak speed controller?? Was it just to try something different?
