electricrc68 your LHS should have new wires and bullet connectors. 

Well looks like the postal strike is over they were seen working at my local location.  With luck should have my parts by Monday.  Now just need the rain to stop.

electricrc68

really? they should? well i hope they do

Muskokarc

lol yep should but you never know ...lol

electricrc68

would you by any chance have a hobbytown usa near you even though you are in canada? lol.

Aljo

I feel your pain Musk

Muskokarc

electricrc68 No my nearest well stocked shop is 1.5 hr drive away.

Thnx Aljo.  Watched your bash vid some with your Frank looks good. Wish my wife was into RC to.

electricrc68

oh that sucks that your shop is so far. well couldn't i just buy traxxas connectors and attach a male one to the esc and female one to the motor? and then when the motor burns out, cut it off and solder it to the next motor?

Muskokarc

That could work just make sure you put the female end on the esc and male on the motor.  Two things this helps is keep you from mixing up the power in side, and protect from shorting out the power coming from the esc when not connected to motor.

electricrc68

oh okay thanks.

Aljo

My wife is not into RC but is happy to spend sometime with me doing things I like. After this outing we went for a walk along the river and I took her out to lunch was a spur of the moment thing but my way of saying thanks. She would have been driving the Rustler which is hers to drive now but the pin in the 17mm hex converter came loose when the hotglue holding it in came unstuck and the wheel went a rolling, hehe. I am gonna fit a better hex converter when my new ones for Frank arrive. Anyways thanks for watching and hang in there I hope all is delivered next week for ya.

I have ordered 2 xRC4WD 540 Crawler Brushed Motor 35T for my kids rc's as the stock motors have burnt out and I have had 1 replaced already and can't be stuffed sending another one away so just decided to get motors with more torque for there 4x4 MT's. Hope they work well.

Im in the same boat buddy

electricrc68

we have been having monsoon like conditions. it will rain heavily for 5 minutes, soak every single thing, then go away. and an hour later, rain heavily for another 5 minutes, and soak every thing....again.

Jackedman

My Feedback: (2)

Ya there not over size so a nice size park is good enough for it.

electricrc68

How big is your back yard???

Muskokarc

Well it is 6 days left till my second child is due. My wife can not wait to be done with the pregnencey. Will be another long weekend baby.

Also my local track web page says that he will be reopening July 1st.

Here is the pic of the track they have posted on the site. It is over 1/4 mile long with room to grow.

electricrc68

about 2400 square feet. but then again, most of it is a hill.

electricrc68

congrats on your child! that is one nice track too!

Muskokarc

Thank you. 

Question,  Ok so I am planing to switch over to the 17mm hubs.  I have not seen any front ribbed tires.  So I should stick with same front and back for tire pattern?
