I just read that I tire thread and I came to a different conclusion.... From what I could understand the outside casting is not the nicest but does not effect the performance, and the performance was said to be good???
only thing untested was durability???

just wondering who said it was a POS that owned one????

Thats what I thought... And after reading that thread, no one says its a POS yet... The owners do compare it to a full mod OBR with great reviews and for the price it's nearly amazing.... If it proves to reliable, it could possible be the best value for money small block.

hopefully I can get down to the track with my 5ive and talk face to face with some of these guys

You introduced the SCZ-E290 on the RCLargeScale forum. No one liked it. And now you're off to the WIDOWMAKER?

Just a boy who plays with toys! I will buy one for my birthday if they don't have the 38cc motor ready. I just got the RCMK full mod so I have boat and other things that need motors also. I'm in no rush! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-TMbmEvR4A

more torque, compared to what? a 10th scale brushless? yeah ok...
dude, a big block mod motor with a good clutch will blow away brushless any day of the week... these new motors coming out for our 5th scale trucks and buggies kick *****

I was going to build a brushless Backlash hydro on 8s with a CC2028 to run gas size props, but they only run low 70's in race trim... and that's good
BUT my friends Backlash hydro with a mod 26cc motor runs low 70's up here in Colorado.. and at sea level he is in the low 80's !!
and this is with a 26cc motor not a 29cc or even the new 32cc coming out very soon for us boat guys!

Ok here is one of my boats running with tinny little 3674 brushles motors on 6s. I just bought TP4050 3Y motors that put it over 103 MPH! show me gas that does that. I have another Cat that is bigger and has pair of 5694 1200kv motors running on 8s that will smoke your gas boats
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPv8K2ImRWY I'll get the tp motor fitted with the 5.5 bullets and then get them running.

Thank you Twissted for posting that video of the 38cc OBR. I know that generally speaking electric motors are faster than gas but I still prefer Gas . Electric vehicles are sooo fast that I can't control them and all I do is crash them. I like the sound of a Gas motor and enjoy the Longer run time. Which one is better?? It is just a matter of personel preference.
