Buddy Port in Spektrum DX6?

I was all set to buy the DX6, but then I realized I didn't know if it had a trainer port. I need one to be able to interface with my joystick (MS Sidewinder Force Feedback), so that I can fly with...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

hands,

I wouldn't even consider a 1p. When I say 20A max, I mean 20A continuous without a significant drop in life cycles. Also, the 2p setup was meant for a 540, which to my knowledge draw...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

Hmm...that's odd about the motor. Can't you just gear it lower? It's a physically bigger motor, so it would be able to handle more power, which of course means speed. Then again, I assume...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

Is the only difference between the gravel hound and the rising storm the body, and the addition of an esc with the rising storm? The RS looks like it's got a bit more volume, so I'd probably go with...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

To fit a 550, will I need to modify anything to get it to fit? While I am an M.E., this is my first hobby grade car so I'd rather not have too many variables to troubleshoot if it's not running...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

I realize fitting the pack might be a problem, and I'll probably end up spreading the cells out just to make it fit. I may cut it down to a 3s3p, and could go as low as 3s2p if I had to. The cells...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

I don't anticipate destroying the car in an afternoon. In my experience, even cheap radio shack cars last several months before breaking. Even then, it's usually the servo that strips, or the 5V...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

Can anyone tell me how long a stock car will last at 10.8V? I'm sure I'll eventually tear up the trans, and stand a good shot of toasting the motor, but I don't have any experience with hobby level...

RE: looking for cheap tamiya to handle 3s li-ion

I've already got an esc that can handle it. I'm an M.E. and do a lot of robotics stuff, so I've got a couple $200 24V 80A ifi controllers laying around. I also already have the cells.

RE: brushless Esc in a boat

You can use lipos with your existing esc. Technically you dont need a special lipo esc- the difference is that a lipo esc has over discharge protection. If you're electronically inclined you could...
