Good question. A fair number that I have a rough time guessing at. 30? I probably ran it on average once a week all last spring/summer/fall, and of course I ran it about once/week this year once it got nice out.

i finally figured out how to cool my engine when it gets to hot. i was shuting it off when it got too hot but it dawned on me to do high speed runs to cool it down and it worked. i do the old spit trick to test the temp, when it boils as soon as it touches it is too hot, if it sits for a second or two befor boiling or evaperating it is the right temp.

to be honest with you moron, that thread has been done many times before, and the result is always a locked thread...
and battery packs last many cycles (or years) before running out, ive had mine since i joined here and they are still good..

actually we figured it out one time... a gallon of fuel with a nitro that has a 75cc tank will last about 50 tanks and a good nimh 6cell will recharge on average 200-300 times or more before its completely shot..

RE: THE LOUNGE 3...
Hey guys, what's goin' on? Probably been a long friggin time since I've been on here, obviously since there is now a Lounge 3, so with that in mind, what's up with the 3rd lounge? Discussion problems again, or did it finally get too big? It seems like I was reading in the 2nd lounge around last december, so I don't think it's been too long? But we have 77 pages here already, so...
Anyway, I haven't really done much with RC lately, although I've started to get work done to that M35 I started on a long while ago. I just need to make the front axle; I'll probably go with a highlift axle as I planned before. Some guy has been playing around with some RCs at the local gun club so I think I'ma dust off a couple of mine and get some LiPos so I can challenge him, heh... I have 1500 sitting around, so we'll see what happens, eh?
Oh, so RCU is now BETA? Personally I don't like it as much, I'm too used to the old way I guess and since I haven't been on for awhile. Or maybe my dial up is just screwing with me and not displaying everything...
Anyway, I'll try and upload some pics of the M35 here in a couple min...

yup, the lounge got too big for the servers. 1400 pages was too much, thats only two harry potter books! some things are beta but it probably has somthing to do with your dial up.

Get one of those infrared keyboards that display the keyboard by lights and laser and then you just tap your desk. Or they have those flat ones you roll out. Neither of those make noise.
