ya it seems like itll work nice.. idk why im doin this to be honest.. im puttin an L series motor in it on 3S lols.. ill probably be lucky if it draws 30A but i figure feigao 8L 3s2200 30C and that monster i made it should spin about 34k to that pinion and from what i can tell the trans to diff ratio is 2.2-1 and the gear ratio will be 1.3 so my rollout should be right around 4.5-1 so technically i should get 9k rpm wheel speed it should be good for about 50mph which.. for this lil guy is WAY more than enough

yes the ib1400s are perfect for an 18t best of course is lipo but we wont get into that with you .. the 1400s should give you lots of punch and plenty of speed/power

calvino

hehe, ya, ive got a lipo (to big and to high on volts) for my plane, but ya, puttin em in my cart now[8D], ya, belive me, i can be hard to convince[:'(][&:]

well i want to mention this because its very important .... after assembly of that pack be sure ITS A MUST to form charge those new cells @.2-.4A for the first charge

nickd

Think you could somehow hook me up..... ....That sucks for the shipping time

"nick are you trying to order fuel?.. if so theres a 20$ epa charge to ship it" - Turbo
Nope no fuel nothing with chemicals like glue or anything either, also Longhair the coupon on now I am using is $30 off $175 think that is good or should I wait?

Let you guys know what I am ordering let you see if there is anything that could be causing it.
-Wheely King ARR (without electronics)
-Robinson Racing Spur Gear 90T Stealth Pro
-Robinson Racing SuperLite Pinion Purple 48P 25T
-Great Planes ElectriFly S-600 7.2-8.4V Ferrite Motor
-Dubro Body Reamer & Scissors Set
-Trinity Motor Screws Metric Short (2)
-W.S. Deans Male Ultra Plug (2)
If anyone has any ideas let me know it would be great to cut the shipping to 25ish

Looks like you are out of luck. They added some sort of new one time only oversize charge for large kits (dimension wise) on top of the $5 increase over last year. Interestingly enough they only charge this once even if you add more kits. The coupons I got this month were all email specific so you can't use them.

Longhair

nickd, if you received that coupon code in your email from Tower - then [:@] @ Canadians for getting all the good codes

so.. its done.. electronics need mounted properly but its together and running tested on a 7.2 nimh and a 3s Lipo on 7.2 its fast NO cogging "when the batt goes down i do get a bit of jittering on drifting backwards starts" on 3s its ballistic wheelies at 40+ with just a dab of throttle

do you think its too much power?! "video should follow later today "

Can any of you please tell me how to change my password?


Thanks Warheadforever

ya it does lol im uploading a video right now so you guys can see im thinking about figuring out how to adapt a 1-1 style "wheely machine" per wheel braking system to it

if i can do that then well be in buisiness steering during the wheely!

here you go .. as you can see "well not really" its quite hard to get it over 1/4 throttle without it trying to backflip over itself lol..

If you will point out the posts that you did not make, it will be easy to trace to find out who did make them and determine the action to be taken against them.

warheadforever

never mind.

warheadforever

I want one LOL, that thing is fast. I think you are right about the steering.

had an exciting RC weekend.

on a whim i brought my Dark Impact to a coworker's open house. it was at a large park, and i'm all over the place, jumping rocks and digging through sand. then all the sudden i hear another electric motor going, and here's one of my coworker's relatives with a Rustler. [>:] so we're having a great time, and then another car comes along, some unidentified 90s looking truck without a body. guy said it was a $10 garage sale find, with a rooster ESC and an old but nice looking motor. we were all going nuts out there, doing laps around a ball diamond, with little kids cheering us on. [8D] good times!

unfortunately i smashed my DI on a rock and tore the rear suspension arm right out of the gearbox. [:@][:@][:@]

Hmm these tamiya plastic kits look pretty good. Since I like building more than running maybe this will keep me occupied for a bit!

But in another note I need a cheap roller to use my sidewinder system in. Thinking of just picking up the Evader EXT and slapping that brtushless in there. I didn't keep my other evader very long, but I hear there new parts are tougher and if they break for a whole year they send you a new one.

Longhair

I thought about building some plastic models (like the ones from the 70's) but at the end of the build I can't drive it [:'(]

The Hedgehog

I am looking at their sport bike motorcycle kits, they have a lot of cool ones, I might grab the ninja and 'busa and see how I like them.

Longhair

Tamiya's Traxxas Motorcycle Kit?

mechanizeddeath

likewise. tho it might give me some much needed painting experience.

speaking of which, i'm about to finish my grasshopper. i may or may not run it when its done, but i'm going box art either way. since it's molded in white, i wondered whether it would be better to just do the detail paint and sticker the bare plastic, or paint it white on the white plastic, do the detail paint, and then sticker over the paint. which is the better method?

rcluke

hi guys,

i aint been here for about a week, anything happened?

westphill24

Has anyone ordered from etamiya.com ? I looked on there and they had some good prices but I havent heard of anyone ordering from them.

[]TEX[]

I don't think any of us have. If I remember right, their prices are a bit high.
