Hi. i own a ST 2 as well and the thing is pretty sturdy. did a few jumps and some mild off roading and even ran it thru water by mistake. no probs till now.

the front shock popped out once after the thing cartwheeled at top speed after hitting a pothole. abt 8 to 9 times. luckily nothing broke.

never got to check top speed. Oh btw yes it can take a 2S Lipo. But it does not have a built in LVC. u will need to get one.

got a small vid with some mild offroading. check it out.



More videos on the way. Got a new truck btw. A brushless E-Maxx. Review on that in a few days.

Use the paper strip method to set your gear mesh.You should be able to move the motor around with the loosening of the screws.

Shouldn't be a problem then.Stay with 2s.Check voltages every 10 minutes or so.

I contactd the guys at TTamerica, they told only Ripper ESC's have lipo cutoff.
Though i'v heard of some guys saying that even veloci does have a LVC, its too confusing.

I would rather get a 7cell Nimh and obtain the same perfo from it.

The veloci has a Lipo cut off.. It cuts of at 3.2V per cell... But we have to configure veloci to be used for lifo... Out of the box the veloci is configured for NIMH so it will drain the battery to the max, if we connect lipo to this config... U know whats gona happen... So change the battery config to lipo....

its bashing time!
3.2 is kinda staying on the safe side. lipos do not get unsable until discharged below 2.9 volts... is that correct?

i stand corrected. sorry. just went through the manual for the ESC and it says there is a built in Lipo voltage cutoff. so i checked it.

in order to switch from Lipo to Nimh or vice versa. just switch on your transmitter and ESC. press the set button twice.

Nimh mode - the light blinks green 5 times rapidly.

Lipo mode - the light blinks red 5 times rapidly.

sorry for my earlier post. cant verify the cutoff as i still have the molex connector on the ESC and no molex Lipo's. need to get some Deans on there.

it might work. but u might need to gear down. and maybe change the plastic spur.

as for the mesh i seem to be having problems with it on the phoenix as it keeps getting messed up every time it has a forward crash after a jump.

There are a lot of BL cars runnng on plastic spurs...i dont think thats gonna be a problem.

And BTW if we were to use a 3s, the torque of the motor can kill the car, not the speed.
Its always torque that breaks the things, so we would need to gear up a lil bit which will help prevent damage to outcups and CVD's

Buddy, Even sparrowhawk BL has a plastic spur. And its very fine, never stripped even 1 after learned to setup a good mesh.

BTW phoenix also comes as a BL stock right..?
Its Phoenix Xt. Then i guess it will be no probs to gwet a 2s on this thing with a BL system. Though 3S might overdo

be careful when you gear it up.It can have a bad effect very quickly.It would help to know which power system you will be using.

Some cheap HK system, it cant handle anything more than that.
I thought gearing low was more riskier, compared to high gearing.

At 7k its the cheapest RC availablle lacally. Would you guys, who have owned it say its worth it? or given a chance to go back to the past would you change your decission to buy one and rather save up for a brushless?
