Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

Thought Its a good spot for a thread

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

I don't think theres enough members for this, I only know of 2 people who actually own one.

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

I'm thinking of getting one when I get a job and putting high grip street treads and a novak gtb brushless system on it then terrorizing the neighborhood streets with it. May even ee if I can ge the local police to do a radar run on it!

i know out of the box mine did 28 but i already ****ed up the tires

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

I own one. I put a 17 turn motor on it about a week after I got it. i havent played with it for awhile though. Well atleast not since I got my tmaxx. Its a great little car. Fun for those times when I want to rc, but don't want to leave the parking lot.

Stock tires do really quickly. Also the stock server went to crap pretty quickly for me too.

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

28????? is that MPH? cuz if so that would make it the fastest stock rtr truck when compared to like the t4 and mf2...dont think your truck was totally stock if hitting 28

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

yeah, no lie, well, 28mph wuz a little faster than mine, but i got mine used on ebay (hehe, perfect condition tho, no mud or anything, and came with new tires, but the motor was worn down a little) anywayz, i got this cop on the street to speed trap all of my rc cars, basically, my fastest was my trf415msx (i sold for $553 on ebay) which was going at 53mph !!!!! i was like, wooo, then the next was my tl-01 which clocked in at 39.9mph, then my other cars, and the raven st (totally stock, cept a 3300mah 7.2v battery (GP)) went 24.2mph, so in my opinion, the raven seems very fast when you first drive it, but one the motor wears down, it wears down, so i got a new motor (15t peak racing motor) and it hits over 30mph now, which i am very happy with

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

iv got 1 had it for a bit now bashed the hell out of it and still going just waiting on HOP UPS when are they comeing??????????????????????????????????????????? ????????

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

hey, for hop ups, just use the losi xxx a-arms, and you can also buy like 2 sets of evader titanium camber/tunbuckle link sets, and mix and match to get new titanium camber/turnbuckle, because the steering servo is kinda werid, but it still is very fun truc, the chassis feels like it will never break, very stiff, i like it :D

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

the first day i got mine i ended up snaping the chassis by shuting off the radio. I fried the motor and now have a Venom Fireball 19 turn modified. I am tring to find a differnt set of Shocks and metal gears cuz the plastics are cheap.

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

doesnt seem like you had much experience with st on ur first day, i feel your pain man, go could probly get an alumiun spur gear (as they use universal ones) on ebay, and possibly a better slipper clutch. i have to clean mine up a bit, but i'll take pics and post em soon :)

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

I would like to upgrade the esc but other then that i love it

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

Thought I would post pictures of mine. Had it since March. Now I run the stock tires because they hook up on the track better the Dirt Works that are in the picture. Next is a new body now that I got a t-maxx going. The only problem I repeatedly had was with the stock esc, which is why I upgraded. Check out my garage to see my mods.

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

I love RWD![>:]

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

umm, what do you mean, the raven st doesnt come with msc? oooo, i get it, haha, get a better esc, lol
well for me, i find the stock esc to be ok, but it gets the job done, and it goes down to 15t which is a plus (runs a little hot tho, lol)

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

Is there anyway to program the esc

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

ummm, not that i can find, lol

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

i was looking into one of these but, the guy at the store said they are junk if you are looking to race them...he said to get a lossi xxx or something like that instead... can these be raced? because the price tag you can't beat! let me know

Slim

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

well slim, the guy at your local hobby store obviously hasnt driven one, or has no driving skill, becasue i race mine, against stock electric xxx buggies and i usually win (when mine wuz stock) then i upgraded, and kcik their ass 10X harder, this is a definate buy, because it is VERY quality, and very competative, if you poped in a brusheless quality motor/esc, it would fly

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

The hobby shop guy is basically trying to get more money off of you, since the xxx-t is more expensive.

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

yes, so you should really print out this thread, or contact otehr "reliable" hobby stores, about the raven st, and then show the guy at your hobby store, and tell him that u know hes trying 2 rip u off, because its not fair that people do that, make you pay way more, for somethign that is basically the same, like, litterally, the same, i use the losi xxx a-arms for my raven st :D

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

I have the Losi xxx-t a-arms too!

RE: Official RAVEN ST Thread
 

like i said, i'll take some pics once i get my camera back, i put the stock motor back in, still running on stock esc, im gona get the blue aluminum losi xxx a-arms once i break another :D

o yeah, tahts my tamiya tl01 drifter, :D
