RE: Charger for two 2s 35-75c 4000mah batteries

Looks like you'll need a DC power supply for that charger. It looks like a great charger for the $.

RE: Anyone had a problem like this with a motor?

I couldn't agree more regarding AE customer service. In my opinion, they are top notch to deal with, as is Traxxas' customer service. I'm glad to hear they took care of you. It's people like that who...

RE: Anyone had a problem like this with a motor?

I have between 25-30 packs on my Radon motor without issues. I clean and oil it every 4 or 5 packs and use a comm stick to help keep things running smoothly. It's been a great motor for me and is...

RE: The Official Traxxas Slash short-course race truck

I'm assuming your talking about Have Fun Hobbies in Vienna? They are nice folks, and the new indoor track layout is fun. I used to race, but lack of funds and schedule conflicts have changed all...

RE: advice on mt purchase, what to go with

Well said. Most of the manufacturers make a decent truck. I was a bit harsh on my comment (or lack thereof) on the T-Maxx. It was a lot of fun, when it would hold a tune for a tank or 2, and wasn't...

RE: ready to order E Firestore Flux.....using 3S Lipo however....

You can crunch numbers all day long, but real world driving conditions will be different because of the various loads put on the ESC/motor system at any given point during a run. Elevation changes,...

RE: advice on mt purchase, what to go with

I've owned every monster truck mentioned thus far, plus a few others. This is my experience with them:

Losi MT : overall best balance of handling and durability, though a bit bulky for small...

RE: ready to order E Firestore Flux.....using 3S Lipo however....

I use double-sided 3M tape, or servo tape. Make sure the surface is cleaned with rubbing alcohol before you stick it down. Also, the stock gearing on the Firestorm is still a bit on the high side for...

RE: Blitz, SC10, Slash, or Strike?

I couldn't agree more. The current fleet of so called "race vehicles" are ridiculous looking. You hit the nail on the head saying they look like lunar rovers. Frankly, I don't care if the SC trucks...

RE: Getting back into R/C

The Stampede's been around quite awhile too, around 14yrs, if I'm not mistaken. And even then, it's pretty much based on the old Traxxas Sledgehammer design from the late '80s early '90s. It is still...

RE: Getting back into R/C

You would get roughly twice the runtime with a 3000mah battery over a 1500mah. With a stock XL-5 Stampede, you'll probably see around 10 min.for a 3000mah pack. I still run a couple of older 3000mah...

RE: Getting back into R/C

The Stampede is the most fun vehicle I've owned for all around usage. I have the VXL model, and it does everything I want an RC to do; it jumps well, flat out hauls with a 3s lipo, runs through just...

RE: First RC

Sweet lookin' Pede john. What parts did you use to mount up those big wheels and tires? Also, is that the Parma Digger body, and how did you mount it? I think you may have inspired my next...

RE: velineon jerking

Your motor will probably get pretty hot with a 26t pinion. It might be alright for straight-line asphalt runs, but really its too high for off-road with frequent starting and stopping. For off-road,...

RE: First RC

I vote for a Traxxas Stampede XL-5 set on training mode (50% power). It'll be just about impossible to break and a lot of fun for a 6 year old. High ground clearance and larger tires make short work...

RE: velineon jerking

You never told us what the vehicle itself was. I run 19/86 on 2S lipo in my Stampede VXL. It may be different for you depending on what vehicle you're talking about.

RE: 9 cell battery

They have a great reputation. Mike, at Cheap Battery Packs is who you need to talk to.

RE: velineon jerking

Yes, absolutely normal. My Velineon does it even while running a 3 cell lipo. You'll get used to it and before long, you won't even notice.

RE: Kyosho Inferno VE Opinions

Thanks for the reply Sheograth. I'm glad you've actually seen it in person and can vouch for it's initial impression. I agree, it looks pretty good, although haven't seen it in person myself. I'm...

Really? Nobody has anything to add about this buggy - good, bad, or indifferent?

Does anybody have any experience with it yet? How does it stack up against the rest of the brushless 1/8 competition. It seems like...

RE: OFFICAL SC10 thread

Thanks for all the replies. I understand that the aftermarket wheels and tires are superior, but rules are rules. Nobody has any experience with Losi, HPI, or Traxxas tires on their rig? Believe me,...

RE: OFFICAL SC10 thread

Has anyone tried any of the other manufacturers tires on their SC10 yet? I was wondering if they performed any better than the stock SC10 tires. The new racing rules state that you can run any of the...

RE: new motor???

Good point. Usually, there is a stock class (27t brushed or 17.5t brushless), a super-stock class (19t brushed or 13.5t brushless), or mod/open class (any motor you like). Battery choice is limited...

RE: The Official Traxxas 4wd Slash Thread...

I disagree with happywing. To say a Slash 4x4 would look "silly" next to a 1/8 is a matter of perspective. How can you fairly compare a 100% race-bred buggy with a dual purpose racer/basher truck? It...
