Perhaps the copter guy will go into buggies/trucks now:D

Why indeed.

Impressed with their helicopter flying skills. Still don't understand how a helicopter can fly upside-down.

'3D' helicoptors dont vary the speed of the rotor to control how much lift they get, it runs at a constant rpm and they vary the angle of the baldes

so, they can turn the angle of the blades to a negative angle and reverse the thrust that the rotor gives.... very clever!

You just reverse the pitch of the blades so they are pushing air in the opposite direction :)

Simple really.

Now you just need to explain why! :eh?:

Who's will? and does he deserve to have heli's smashed at him?:wtf:
:D

Top skills, good to see how stonrg the revo was as it just bounced back onto its wheels and carried on!!

Pidge, I think you have to much time on your hands.:o

Just keep thinking about the little japanese girls that you'll see in 2weeks.;)

.....and don't forget that shell at the weekend!!:rolleyes:

The ability to use negative pitch was designed for autorotation (power the rotors from the air flowing over them during a decent without an engine) so you could emergancy land a helicopter, they got developed to a point to enable stunt flying and completely inverted flight though.

Good skills.

Now i'm thinking someone should hover a copter above your wall of death. First buggy to wipe it out gets a prize. :D

Interesting, although I meant why someone would want to smash a buggy into a hovering helicopter. Thanks anyway.

Yeah, that's right, nothing else exists does it? What's a monster truck?

I must have a different idea of what is cool then. To me, it just looks like a waste of what appeared to be a perfectly functioning helicopter.

Maybe I'm just too old to understand.

it was funny, but i wouldn't do it.
Reasons:

1.I don't have that much moola.
2.I can't fly a helicopter.
3.I wouldn't risk breaking a revo.:p

HEY don't make fun of nitro!!!!!





i like it.






BUT i want to give it up because it's SO DAMN EXPENSIVE!!!!! and not to mention dirty. If you think that your cars get difty, first coat your car in grease and run it through a dry dusty field. And halfway through coat it with more grease because that's exactly what the engine does. Even if you have it sealed up. But hey, i can't help that i like it. The fact that it's so loud it makes your neighbors come outside just makes me love it even more. And that thik trail of white smoke makes me wonder why we don't run real cars on nitro, but that's another thread. AND my first car was nitro. And my second. But my third was electric, and BACK THEN i didn't know anything about it. The box made me believe that the car was extremely fast. (it was a traxxas stampede) (yeah, i know). And a revo is actually a really nice car, especially with this:http://www.gorillamaxx.com/images/gmx07-chr-cf.jpg

PM me if you want more! hehe.
