TAG Coyote resurrection

Thanks guys I'm glad you like it

nice paint scheme!

[Dadio]

I put her Sunday Shoes on , changed the motor from the old silver can and the sun's out so i grabbed some more photo's , I got a good one of the road that is hard to see in photo's , I gave the road a dusting of Gun Metal then backed it with black to give it a metaled road look .

[Dadio]

I just took her out in the road for a quick spin and its pretty quick thanks to a slightly naughty motor ! the motor is a Reedy spec class and the can has ROAR 27 stamped on the front , its an odd motor though because as i understood it these should be sealed cans but this one is fully strippable like a Mod motor but it has got locked timing, its ball raced as well and i expected it to be bushed ? , further when i stripped it to have a look it has a label on the armature with RDY19 and its balanced ? so it is a Reedy 19t mod armature ! The decal on the motor also has the look of a new replacement so might be misleading as well, I'm not in any way complaining though as it was dirt cheap looks pretty and goes like stink !

I have that same motor...

I got it off ebay for $17 and it was listed as a Reedy "Spec 19" handout motor from the Kimbrough 400

Cool car btw!

That paint scheme is perfect and a masterpiece! And awesome car overall! I like the narrow front wheels even on the 4wd’s..

The front wheels and tires are for the 2wd version of the Coyote but I like them better as well . I'm glad people like the paint , I couldn't resist it but really wasn't sure how it would look in the real world , I really worried while I was brush painting the cactus plants and grass tufts !

build off contender for sure!

[coxbros1]

Great build! You are giving me inspiration to resume my Coyote. It is interesting to see all the variations in parts.

I was looking at these round stick batteries..the size is right. https://www.airsoftatlanta.com/collections/batteries-and-chargers/products/vengeance-7-4v-2000mah-stick-li-ion-battery

i really dig these torpedos!

[Dadio]

Its the 15 C that's the problem , i did think about two wired in parallel but its still only 30 C , it might work , the 220 mahr 65 C lipo's i used don't look as good but work really well , I've got a few of those lipo buzzer alarms and even under high load i never heard a peep out of it ..... my feeling is id rather go to NIMH torpedo's in the end , i know a place that would make them and its probably kinder to the car ......

[coxbros1]

i hear ya....but when Thumbs came down today we ran my bothers Avante with a Technigold and lipo.
Then ran the "Real Deal" which is Technigold and new nimh 6 cell....both motors are equal but the technigold on the lipo had twice the ass!

[THEYTOOKMYTHUMB]

The real deal has that wiper speed control though! Ran great, but I wonder if it doesn't supply the umphh of that esc in the Avante?? Both drove great either way!

[Dadio]

Its the volt drop under load with NiCad that makes the big performance difference , with Lipo there is very little volt drop under load , a 6 cell NiCad may drop over a volt under load but the Lipo wont drop a volt until the end of its charge .

[coxbros1]

your Coyote disappeared from build off!

[Dadio]

my fault , my SRB Free Styling won earlier in the year so i can't enter till January so I withdrew just in the nick of time !
