RE: Regear with Dirt Hawgs on Rustler?

The Dirt Hawgs are physically larger than the stock tires on your Rustler. That increase in size is going to raise the strain on your motor. Unless you reduce that strain,you will eventually damage...

RE: nevermind, i am apologizing to the group for dropping down to a kids level.

Ebald,

That's exactly the point that I was trying to get across to specracer. It's a case of he wants to believe what he's posted so much, that anyone who questions him is an idiot. If getting...

RE: Nitro or Electric

The Ti Pivot pins were a good upgrade. No problems with them. Infact, I had the plastic on the front strut tower fail before the pivot-pin gave way.

RE: Want to go brushless but still confused

Any idea what the transmission ratio is for that truck?

RE: Want to go brushless but still confused

RURC,

Are you still running the multi-speed transmission, or did you lock out all but one gear? If you're not starting out in first gear, you're probably experienceing a condition called torque...

RE: Charging time for NIMH 3300MAH with Mega 2

Your advice is good, for a flat-dead pack only.

If the pack has any juice left in it and he does as you posted, he'll cook the pack in no time.

RE: Oh No, Not another Nitro to electric Conversion

Originally, you claimed that you reached 40mph with a Losi XX and a stock motor. Highly improbable, since the buggy batteries and equipment weigh nearly 4 pounds. Having had an RC10B4 FT that was...
