brand new villian 7.2 volt

[69dart]

any one see the new villain
its 7.2 volt powered
they desighned a brand new esc that is water cooled and water proof
and runs on one batt
yay
it is basically like the villain ex cept no titans or evx but they are the upgrades lol

Another good thing is that it uses just one 7.2 volt battery, instead of 2 like before. Sure, it cuts down on the runtime, but it takes off a lot of weight, and should make it significantly faster and more nimble.

I jsut won one off ebay complete with 2 batts and charger and the hull is painted trick red for $134, I should have it friday, Ill leave a post on its performance

The new Villain is a nice boat. I just got one a few weeks ago. I don't think that the ESC is waterproof though, so I'd use care accordingly. I like the fact of being able to run just one bettery as well but find myself running two every now and then. Here's a link to some pics ya'll'd find enjoyable...

Nice pic. How fast do you think it goes? 15-18mph?

thanks alot for the pix and link, Im planning on going watercooled motors also, that will help[!! Im thinking about doing another water pickup for the motors alone. I think that will cool them even more effeciently. What kind of motors you have in it now? Did it make a big diff over the stock ones? 1 last ques, how do you run 2 batt pcks? what are the major advantages ? thanks

Bone stock it appeared to be doing between 10 to 15 mph. With the X-Star motors she looks like she's running somewhere between 15 to 20 mph... Sometimes a little fast if I go "AAAAAARRRRR" like a pirate!
:D

The motors are Stock 27 turn Trinity X-Star motors. Some leftover new old stock that I had lying around. Yes, there was a considerable increase in speed over the Stingers. She's also sporting 13 tooth pinions and juiced with Panasonic 3000 6-cell.

The hull comes with two slots to run two 6-cell packs. I just piggybacked some Deans connectors in place of the Tamiya (Mate-N-Loc) connector. The benefit is longer fun times. But just pay attention to motor heat when running longer with hotter motors...
