RE: Help - Water ingress and motor seizure

Thanks, I will try my best to do that when I next get a chance to work on it, and report back. I will also try to take a pic or two of the situation.

RE: Help - Water ingress and motor seizure

Thanks, trouble is with my biggish hands I can't even get to the motor properly to spray the WD-40 where I want it to go - I have applied it liberally to the motor shaft / outdrive but still no joy....

I bought a HPI Firebolt 15t for my budget short course build for the princely sum of £6.37, less than ten bucks US.

Great budget motor with a smooth throttle curve and decent top-end. Haven't...

RE: Lipo charger staying red?

If it's charging at 800mA as you say, it would take about 7 hours to fully charge the pack if it were near empty.

As a general rule, whenever I take my r/c's anywhere where there's a lot of folks around, e.g. to the beaches when there's a public holiday on, or wherever, they generate a lot of interest. I had my...

RE: Lunchboxer's TXT-1 project...

TXT-2 is £389 as a kit.

I do love Tamiya but boy do you ever pay a premium for comparable performance. For me it just doesn't look exciting enough vs. TXT-1, nor would it drive...

RE: is RC dead?

I've drifted on and off the r/c forums over the years, really it depends on what else is going on.

RE: Help with incorrectly glued tires

RE: Lunchboxer's TXT-1 project...

RE: Help with incorrectly glued tires

RE: RC getting stuck in grass
