Looks nice, but 130 motors seem a bit weak... I really do not like the rear "idler" just looks odd.

The flat idler setup is classic Russian. I am sure it is weak like their duce and a half with the 130s. On the otherhand, I hope they don't mean 14,500 mAh battery for the two 130s. That would be overkill. On the otherhand, $80 would be a steal just for the 2S 14,500 mAh Li-Ion battery !

Can't trust that spec sheets.

Mike. Is this 2S lipo safe for Heng Long MFU

Any 2S should be fine. Maybe put a low voltage warning indicator, just the usual safety steps for electronics that don't support lipos.

If you read in the What's Included. 1x 2S 500mAH 14500 battery. I don't know what the 14500 means but that tells me it is only a 500mAH battery. As with most WPL, it will probably need many upgrades. Cool canvas to work with though! I could see trying to modify it to a Kharkovchanka.

14500 is a battery cell size callout for cylindrical Li-Ion batteries
xxyyy for the callout.

xx = Diameter in mm (14mm)
yyy = length of battery in mm (50.0mm)

A standard AA battery size is 14.5mm diameter, 50.5mm in length.
In this case, the 2S is a pair of 14500, 3.7V Li-Ion batteries connected in series for 7.4V output.

Cool. Thanks Mike !

I was hoping for a 14,500 mAh Li-Ion from a RC toy @ $80 Cdn.

Thanks for that Mike. 

DKLM will be carrying them and here are some pics from Carson for sizing:

I think it is cute and wouldn't mind one or two, but the shipping is Bleh...

It looks like WPL is sold out of the E1's already...

I did not realize that the tracks are one piece softer plastic with a single link pin holding ends together...



That kinda worries me...How much abuse will those tracks withstand?

Well I guess as much abuse as a pair of 130 can give which is not a hell of a lot. This thing will go nowhere fast !

Still looks fire though. Might have to get one and just stare at it.

How it run?

The rear idlers are fixed which kind of defeats the purpose of swing arm suspension on the road wheels...

Yeah... I broke down and ordered one... From Banggood, because at the time they had under $3 shipping... Arrives in a Month.

Bring it out next time. I keep thinking about it but don't really need one. Awfully cute though. Wonder if you can move the idlers higher up off the ground.

Oh yeah. I may have to find a 1000MAh battery however... 450MAh just seems so.... low....

battery is 600 and you can get 2 from Amazon for $30.  Alternatively enlarge battery compartment without affecting any other features.

I got mine in 2 weeks from Banggood
