This was kept a secret for a while lol Well NickRummy sent me a big box with a ton of parts in it, and a custom chassis he had made from ABS plastic thats 1/4 inch thick, very beefy. He had started this project as a rear arm on front for wider stance, but was going to do jato arm conversion...

Hey im thinking about going nitro but is it really worth it?

As most mini owners know when you run a 3s lipo or dual stock packs on the mini e-revo you get the dreaded thermal shutdown. Well I was no exception here , also besides the dreaded themral shutdown another sign of getting to hot is trying to turn the esc off only to have itself turn right back...

Well guys after one of my friends got a whole tore in his tail yesterday by my erevo he believes that he can make his revo via conversion better than an out of the box revo. I keep telling him that with the exact same stuff his revo still will never be an Erevo. So which would you rather have?
