Default REVIEW - Robitronic Scalpel 1/18 Scale Pan Car

Ok I recently finished my Robitronic Scalpel and wanted to tell everyone what a beast this thing is. I built it, and opted to go with a Mamba 8000Kv power system, Hitec 3 Ch Rx, HS 85 on the steering. I am using a stock battery from a E-Flite Blade CX2 which is a perfect and direct fit, if you put both the ESC and Rx on one side.

Where should I start? I kept laughing everytime I would go full throttle this thing must have been going 50-60mph in a matter of seconds. I have to loosen up the differential it is a little too tight as there was excessive wheel spin and a loose rear end. Which told me there was too much power going to the wheel that loses traction first, where if the differential was a little looser it would transfer power equivically until one tire loses grip, then power to that tire would decrease.

But the first couple of runs just tells me "I FREAKIN LOVE THIS CERTIFIED LIPO MISSILE" it is the fastest thing I own. And I own a couple of fancy nitros. Hands down even on a drag run I will wipe out almost anything out there up to 65mph and thats with the 7.4 Lipo. If and when I go to a 11.1 I hope to reach high 70mph. Ohh did I mention the handling? You might as well have taken these tires straight out of honey, they stuck to almost any surface I put them on, especially flat concrete.

I think every man in theyre lifetime should own one of these Scalpels before they croke over!!! It will add a good 5-10 years on the Ol' Ticker.
