there's no way i'm paying for a power supply that costs more than my charger! plus they are 110v and not 240v..

ive seen a cheap 5 amp one on the bay..

cumquat

i forgot about the voltage difference

Just got back from the cape after a week. What did I miss?

Got my 977 charger today, it's a goodie, I fully charged all 11 of my packs and it wasnt even warm.
As soon as you start to charge a battery the cooling fan turns on. It beeps just once after its
done charging your battery, not that long annoying beep that the 960 did.
I'll still use my 960 chargers every once in a while, just its awesome to have a charger that
can charge and discharge at the same time, and charge two packs at the same time even.

ooh, looks like a new CC-01... wrong guess though, its on the DF-01! new body for my Cayenne!! [8D]

DB-01R...

DB-01R looks good for people who want a race level buggy but don't want to maintain it all the time.. (enclosed drivetrain)..

The DF-01 is cool, of course.. got to like all the scale stuff from Tamiya!!

cumquat

tamiya hasnt come out with a truely scale rc yet! but neather has any other company. im talkin a mini gas powered v6/8, 4+ speed transmition, working gauges, body built onto the chassis, radeator, generator, etc, etc, etc. that would be on almost everyones "i gotta have it even though i wouldnt run it" or " must have but cant aford" list.

lee.. the simplest thing you can do in your situation is to convert a pc powersupply.. find an old junk pc jerk the supply out of it and with a few VERY simple modifications you can make your very own powersupply in about 20 minutes

Lunchboxer

Because it would cost 20k for the kit.. that's why...

cumquat

im well aware of how much it would cost, i have gone over the cost, required tools/skills and all that. but you have to admit you would want one, especally if it came as a lunch box

calvino

As it is I just converted a compu power supply with good results. Once you find the 5V line I just an a little lamp on it and no issues what so ever at all. The power supply just wants to see a "load" on the 5V line and a connection on the other (says it on the site) and your set. All of 10 mins later i had a reliable power source for my charger [8D]

cumquat

congrats on the second race calvino.

So.... Last night I went bowling. Sweetest games every. Finally bowled over a 150. (3 strikes in a row. Was the first time I have done that) Any ways as the night went on they started giving away free prizes. I win the first prize which is 2 t shirts and 6 free subway sandwiches (owner of the bowling alley owns the subways up here) and 5 free games of bowling. Then right at the end when they were about to close they had a raffle for an electric scooter that I won! Heck ya. Anyways had a fun night.

Lunchboxer

Sounds like a good night for ya!! Congrats!!

madmax22

Nice! Those scooters are fun, not good if you have hills around though

Ttam Says Blarg

Its fast but I think I want faster. I had the whole thing apart last night. The stem that you use to pump air in the tire was stuck inside the tire. I took it apart and fixed that. While I was under there I saw the motor. This thing is just a huge brushed motor.. I got to thinking about upgrades

[:@][:@][:@] you know whts worse than a power outage in the evening? a power outage in the evening of a 92 degree day! we lost power at around 7:30 as i recall (i was and and am still sleepy) and we got it back about a half hour ago (i was out). this was the 2econd hottest if not the hottest day of the year, we dont have air condisoning, we use fans for our cooling. im a little cranky today but atleast the raintook it from 92 to 72 degrees for 2 or 3 hours.

sheograth

When I lived in New York a couple years go, the power went out during a really hot summer night. It was raining, winding, humid, hot as hell, really attrocious, and no power.
