RE: Blade 400 OR Trex 450

See, the problem is now the 450's have finally caught up with the bigger helis in both performance AND stability. I'm telling you, if you haven't had a crack at a Pro or Sport 450, you really need to...

RE: Blade 400 OR Trex 450

Ok, after getting a new Trex450 Pro over the weekend, all I can say is save your pennies and buy nothing but the Sport if you can. The Pro and Sport are slightly different, but the head is the same,...

RE: LiPos and charger, this good?

Not sure how it would make a difference. It will work well for both applications seeing you'll run them harder at the track in most cases, so that would put you on the conservative side when...

RE: ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 2S1P 30C hardcase pack

I ended up filing down the front edge of the plugs because they were't fitting any way, shape, or form. Once the bevel was in place, they went together much better, but they definately needed some...

RE: ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 2S1P 30C hardcase pack

I just soldered on some Rhino 4900's last night.The wires are huge on them as well. I just squished the wires flat before soldering to make sure they would fit, then double checked them before final...

RE: VXL gripes

It's not mine to begin with. I burnt out my brushed stuff and had a buddy that put his stuff away for the summer, so I snagged it from him. Went to a little race the other day and got roasted by a...

RE: okay sc10 owners, i need some help here please..

Sorry, but I do have to laugh at Foamy's comment. That was pretty darn funny IMO. I apologize for lauging, but I think it was recieved with a different perception than he intended. Take 'er easy...

RE: VXL gripes

I checked everything at least three times. That's what keeps leading me to believe it's either the motor or the link of the TX/RX. It just doesn't make any sense to me. In my buddy's E-Firestorm...

RE: hobbycity shipping

I usually use the air shipping. EMS is a bit ridiculously priced seeing I've never had to wait more than 10 days to get any of my stuff from them (yes, using the slow method). With air, you get a...

RE: RC car track maintenance anyone

We have a dirt, off-road track with clay/dirt as it's material. It's really crappy to work with because it sticks to everything when it's wet, powders up like crazy when it dries, and forms rock hard...

RE: LiPos and charger, this good?

Have a look at these batteries. Half the price of the 5000's most guys recommend, not too much for your brushed setups, perfect for when you first get into brushless, great run-times, and more than...

RE: LiPos and charger, this good?

Lipos don't take a ton of research, but they're not as plug in, walk away, come back in four hours and put on the next battery. You'll find they're a bit easier to deal with than NiMh's because they...

RE: slash w/velineon motor/esc issues...

I'm thinking it's your ESC being faulty or bad batteries. Traxxas is actually extremely good about customer service (and this is coming from someone who absolutely HATES Traxxas stuff!). I'd send it...

RE: LiPos and charger, this good?

I have an Imax B6AC. Good little charger considering what it can do. You really gotta watch the temps on it as it doesn't have a fan like an Accucell. The balancer works ok, and it's an easy to use...

RE: VXL gripes

I'm pretty well versed in the operation and use of chargers, so it's definately nothing to do with batteries. Someone told me they won't hook up well to anything but Traxxas TX's, so I was trying to...

RE: ZIPPY Flightmax 5000mAh 2S1P 30C hardcase pack

Actually a 9.6 would be extremely close. To the point you probably couldn't tell if someone swapped a battery on you without you knowing it. Here's why: An8-cell NiMh is nominally rated at,...

RE: What's faster on the track, Slash or SC10?

I also agree with the driver being the #1 difference. However, if you were to pull each car out of the box, slap a battery in it and have a go, the SC10 would definately stomp all over a Slash. The...

VXL gripes

Ok, so I've been having to use a VXL motor system in my SC10, but it really, really sucks. The big problem I get is it feels like I'm not getting full speed out of it.Even if I use a 2S or 3S Lipo,...

RE: vxl motor, mamba esc on 4s?

It all depends on the BEC. The Mamba Max is built to handle 4S, and the heatsink works quite well, so the extra juice lost wouldn't be a big deal if it actually isa linear BEC.
Now If it's a step...

RE: vxl motor, mamba esc on 4s?

4S should be just fine with the internal BEC. (Look up the specs on Castle's site if you want good references). The Velineon on 4S will be about the equivalent of a Mamba 5700 on 3S. Your packs...

the 3S soft-case batts won't fit in any battery tray designed for 6-cell NiMh's. you can get em to fit, but you'll either have to lay them on their side, mod the heck out of the tray, or pt them on...
