Im not to much into the idea of spending $150 for a charger and power supply nor am I fond to buying cheesey looking power supplies. I do like the charger mousesi2k posted but i do want to spend 50 bucks for a power supply. Im aiming for $100 bucks or less on the charger and power supply combined. And I want to be able to charge lipo and nimh batteries on the charger at about 1A.

Did anyone find a midrang 20-40 doller power supply for that charger mouse listed?

Mousesi2k

Radioshack used to have the perfect on for like $25 bux. Thing is that they recalled it and now there cheapest one is like $55 i think. I searched online for the one that i use but cant seem to find it x_x. I bought it at Frys Electronics and it is made by Samlex. I believe its cost ruffly $30 bux.

This is the power supply that my cousin uses (which is radioshacks cheapest priced one) with the same Multiplex charger i have.

i gotta problem now with my rc18r..

my dogbone keeps poping out of the part where the dogbone connects to the tire pops ot when i turn. i have the springs in the diff but i just suddenly started to happen. so if you could help me out on this i would really appericate it

thanks,
brian

Mousesi2k

Have you taken the dogbone all the way out? Its possible the little stubs have worn out on the dogbone itself. If that looks compairable to the others then check out the axles and see if maybe the area where the dogbones go hasnt worn out. And i know you said you have the springs in, just check and make sure you didnt lose one or that its for some reason didnt flatten out or something.

it shows in the picture of the link i gave you earlier in the thread

now its raining so i cant do any rc's today!

Mousesi2k

Its super easy to install. I installed 2 in about 10 mins max. Thetoyz has two links on how to install. One is a Quicktime clip. The other is a PDF(requires adobe reader) of the installation manual. They are located in the middle of the page under the small picture of the Draglink.

so you guys think buying the mip diff and getting metal gear it worth it or just get the stock diff with metal gears?

Mousesi2k

I've read pretty much everywhere that the MIP dif is an awsome upgrade. Me myself, i still have the stock diffs though if one was to go out, then i would probley upgrade them all. Thats just me.

Wepo

I cant fit it over the drive shaft. What am I doing wrong?

Wepo

Wepo

It finally budged, My question is: Why does it seem alot harder to turn everything now? Is this the effect I should have or should it be the same as before?
