RE: Big Stick 40 Engine

any of those engines will be fine, however: the smaller engines (the 51, 52) all weigh about 18.5 oz, while the bigger all weigh in at a hefty 26+ oz. this translates to about a half a pound of...

RE: Batery problem....

also, a topic of controversy: the above is probably killing your batteries, but your cutoff isn't helping either. if you're using the soft cutoff setting, you're probably ok (once you get cells...

RE: looking for indoor 3d'er

RE: Two questions about LiPos.

4.2 volts/cell is safe fully charged capacity. most chargers go to this, but the pack settles to between 4.15 and 4.2 after charge. this is normal, not a defective charger. as for discharge, it's...
