RE: motor Numbers: I know I know

Yes I know how the Kv works. But I would have thought that amperage was pretty basic oiece of info and it's not there. And the weight of the truck would be nice, so you can compare with other...

RE: motor Numbers: I know I know

I think the problem is not with the actual motor specs, but the way the vendors describe them, just throwing numbers around...

RE: motor Numbers: I know I know

I am sorry, but your reply goes against all my feelings about "specs'. This is NOT to say you are wrong in your statements. It's just that it makes me feel that there is a whole set of numbers out...

motor Numbers: I know I know

Every time I think I have a handle on this there is some other factor that usually seems to mean nothing. ATM I am looking at the specs for a truck that has a 3000Kv motor (3000RPM/Volt, got that)...

RE: Floater Jet

Thanks for that. I have to say that most reviews I am reading support what you say, in that the beasty seems to be a powered glider almost, but can move if you push it hard. It still seems to be the...

RE: Lowpricerc.com?????????

Sure I can understand why PP may need to re-verify you if you move although I can see why it would be a nuisance. But _because_ PP do that, no vendor should be asking IMO.

RE: digital vs. analog servos??

A helpful reply indeed.

You can't argue with Cliffmandude. From what they gathered means that their statement is irrefutable.
