Been listening, huh? Well here's a few words to take an ear to..

Shrink that e-revo chasis down to the 1/16 size and save yourself the time and material. Tons more 1/16 slash and revo's could use it rather than full-size e-revo's who aren't so plentiful. Besides, those "gorilla" folks have that market segment cornered already.

Your 1/5 scale brushless deal hasn't exactly been flying off the shelves as they say. When RC guys go big, they usually want trucks. Not many tracks designed for 1/5 scale buggies and Trucks are more versatile. Come up with a 1/5 scale truck platform based on a stretched truggy deal with ultra-extended arms and you've got a winner. No need for the msrp north of 7'o clock on the c-note dial if you know what I mean. Two truggy ends.. beefed up center diff.. custom arms f/r.. Feel me?

Anything that you like about the stuff above?

Wrong on gorilla, they have stopped manufacturing the G3R revo chassis and are concentrating on the G4 and the slash chassis. I do like the idea of a 1/16 chassis, I hate being limited to a box for batteries. Milemarkers, Are you associated with kershaw? If so, can the E-revo chassis be got with a longer battery tray?

Yes, I'm actually the owner/operator of Kershaw Designs. And sure, I can have a specially cut battery tray made to hold batteries of any width and length. Just e-mail me directly at Dan@KershawDesigns.com for details.

Hi Dan..

I like the idea of charging 4 lipos at once. Do you have plans of getting a bigger charger to handle more charging current?..

I do not know of another charger available through my dustributors that does more than 5 amps per channel, but I'm always keeping my ear to the ground. Do bear in mind that 5 amps is usually the maximum charge current that a 5000 mAh pack can accept. That exactly what the 4 channel charger above puts out.

Hi Dan....Doesn't a 2C charging rate mean I can charge at 10 amps on a 5000 battery?...I could be wrong. I know I charge my Orion Lipos at 7 amps with no issues.

Yes, you're spot on. Sounds like you have good lipos that can accept an especially fast charge.

I still like the idea of this charger, don't get me wrong. I have another question. If I am using ORION batteries with the 3 hole leads(one for balancing), will I have 4 separate 3 wire leads so I can balance and charge 4 at a time?..

Simply put, yes. The charge comes with Align balancing plugs, but I may have any adapter needed if you happen to have another balancing plug on your packs. What I do not have I can usually order.

I like these drive axles ;)
