![]() ![]() ![]() I have both Violtions the brushed and the brushless, and the brushless Dominus TR, I love the Helion line, I am a bit confined to where I can run my cars, my icon shows why, but thanks for your comments, I'm new to RC cars, and learnt somethings from your post, if you want a laugh - a few weeks ago I had the Helion Criterion (used off Ebay) in town hall park going like a good 'un, anyway as I'm sitting down my view is limited - and this chap blocked my view, and there was a mighty splash, the thing had gone under the rails around the duck pond and into the pond, no chance of getting it back, everyone said it would only be good for spare wheel, so rang Grandson up to come next day and with rake and climb over railings and try and get it back, about an hour or so later he came to ours with his dad and a plastic bag containing the Criterion, this at 7. I would have liked to see a sealed diff so I could tune with oil rather than just greasing it but otherwise I've been more than happy with it. Body is nice & thick but after lots of use is starting to crack so I have a new one ready to paint. Otherwise it's all original including the servo. Today I've replaced the stock hinge pins with more standard E clip pins. Secondly, I've had the plastic shock caps pop off a few times so I'm now trying these Trackstar ones from Hobbyking: They come empty, I stripped them, coated the seals with AE Green Slime & put 500cSt oil in the front & 450cSt rear Thirdly & most recently I've had an issue where I've come off track to find the part of the front bumper which actually keeps the front hinge pin brace in position has become dislodged leaving the brace hanging off. I've had a few issues though, firstly I had the rear hinge pins pull out of the rear most hinge pin holder upon impact, the plastic hinge pin holder was a bit flexible so I now have a home made alloy one. I'm even still using the original stock tyres as they work well on the dirt, so long as it's not dry & dusty (not a problem in winter lol) For the price (49.99) I thinking of replacing my 15 Turn motor in my Boomerang with it. Has anyone used this piece of kit or have had feedback from someone who has used it. I've now gone for 78/23 & I'll see how it goes tomorrow. It's called 'Radient Reaktor 3500KV' by distributed/made by 'Fireland Group/HobbyTown USA. The brushed electrics held up well on 2s, but I've just fitted the Reaktor 3000kv 4 pole motor/50A ESC combo, as fitted to the Volition XLR, I raced it last week but was under geared with the 84/20 stock gearing. Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for Radient Reaktor Brushless Motor 4000kv 2-pole at the best online prices at eBay Free shipping for many products. I've had a Volition for a while, used for racing on our dirt track through the winter plus some bashing. ![]()
