I'm Back!!! Used Brushless E-Revo Questions
Hey fellas. Long time no see. I'm not new to RC, but I have been gone for a while. I'm returning home from a deployment here in about a week and I found what I think is a good deal on a used Brushless E-Revo on eBay, and I have some questions. Please see the link below.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/280999485571...84.m1439.l2649
First, I'm wondering about the electroincs. Since I last got out of the hobby, Hobbyking.com has SOOOOO many more new Brushless motors and ESC's. Now I know from past experience that their stuff is not top shelf, but some of it works pretty well. I did find the motor, ESC and radio on Hobby king. I'll list some links below.
ESC - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html
Motor - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...or_2100KV.html
Radio/RX - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...arehouse_.html
Just looking for some opinions really. I know the radio is cheap and basic, but it's all I really need. Do they work OK??
How about the ESC?
The motor?
Anything else I need to know about these E-Revo's? I emailed the seller and he is including a 3s 4000Mah 20C lipo. Not sure on the brand, but it will get me started until I decide to buy a couple of Gens Ace 2s packs to run in series.
So whatcha think? And I must say, it's good to be back!!! I'm glad I never sold my charger, power supply, soldering iron, wire, connectors, etc....

RE: I'm Back!!! Used Brushless E-Revo Questions
Thank you for your service!!! I hope the ride home goes quick for you.
Doesn't look like a bad deal but my knowledge is limited on this subject. Did he include a Lipo charger or is the one you kept good for Lipos?

Thanks!
I have this charger. For the money I love it. At one point I did have a Hyperion Duo, but I couldn't justify 300 bucks on a charger this time around.
