Plan is to have the V-5 tube chassis available as a semi complete Late Summer early Fall.
Semi complete meaning is Roller with motors and drives, you add esc, batteries and radio.
V-5 will feature our tried and true 12,000 watt open gear drive & 3-link setup.
We suggest the Mamba XLX or XLX2 esc and battery capable of delivering 400a on 8s.
Will post pics when we are dialing in prototypes.
All learned from racing the V-1 to V-4 will be applied to the V-5.
Would like to give more details on this but we’re keeping it under wraps till the prototypes are up and running.
Projected “roller” cost will be 3200.usd
Possibly later we will do short kits or non rollers.
This first round we will only sell this as a 12kw Raceboard.
If you are interested we are making an inquiry list.
Inquiry list will be recorded as received and call backs will happen when a board comes available to your spot. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.
Congrats Moe! You and I both know I want to be on the
!
Seriously excited to see more people on the Stooge gear. People have already made the standalone 3links an incredible, well known truvk that performs at the highest level, I can’t even imagine what we will do with the Rollers!
This won’t be 100% exact but it should give you a space to see why…
It’s mode of pure Chromoly 41xx Tubing (4130 I believe)
Has built in 3link trucks, mounts, motors, widened sunmate hubs, and gears. That alone is roughly $1000 USD of parts.
Each one is handmade. Take the same design to any fabricator and ask for it to be made using the same materials, and I’ll bet it’s at least double that, if not more, for just a deck.
