RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Just wondering is there any difference between these two ZIPPY and turnigy 2200 2S 20C batteries? Also what would be an appropriate charger for these? And im planning on running these in parrellel but im unsure what connection options ive got? what should i get?
Help realy would be appriciated, Thanks! http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...00mAh_2S1P_20C http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s..._20C_Lipo_Pack |

My guess is that there's little to no difference in performance between the two. As for a charger, I have heard some great things about this one from HobbyCity and it could ship with your batteries: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=7028 You can certainly spend a lot more for a charger, but why do it if you don't need to? Good luck with whatever you choose... |

ORIGINAL: dacaur PrjctStrtFrce - Yes, hooking anything up to the 3rd or 4th channel will just have it on at all times And about the pinion, yes also, but it would overheat the motor and ESC in a hurry, the ''speed gear'' is actually a smaller pinion, which would be slower if run on the same voltage as the stock pinion. The reason for it is that at higher voltages with the stock pinion, the truck would be overgeared and would pull too many amps. Its not just like that with this truck, any brushless setup is like that. If you volt up a lot, you need to gear down to keep the amp draw in check. jaejw1 - what bandaid are you talking about? The stock motor is all the truck needs and more. With ANY brushless setup you need to gear down when you double the voltage, it doesn't matter how big a motor you have... I didn't think of it like that. I just figured that the taller gearing itself would overheat the motor, not that it draws more amps. I still have a lot to learn with electrics :p So the stock gearing would be alright if the temperatures are just monitored and if it's run on smooth flat surfaces? As long as the temperatures would be cool, then everything *should* be ok, right? Sorry if I'm being repetitive, but speed runs and some moderate cruising is all that I am going to do with this thing for the most part and I want to make sure that I won't be hurting it in the long run. I will be getting some sort of heat sink and fan shortly. If 50+mph is the advertised speed for the "speed gear," then what would the approximate speed be with the stock gear and two batteries? |

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
I tried to put my DX3R in my Mini E Revo and it did the same thing that you're describing. It seem to do OK with the Spektrum with 1 Nimh bat, but with 2 it really seemed to have a mind of its own. I sent it back to HH for a checkup, but that was before I read the posts about the Capacitors. A Main carries them for Spektrum radios (part # spm1600) .Hopefully this will cure the problem....

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
ya from testing mine out more last night i think it only does it with two nimhs in series because i cant get it to do anything weird with just one lipo, but i havent tried it with just one nimh since the first time i drove it so im going to give that a shot today and see what happens. i also just ordered one of those spektrum caps so once i get that in im sure it will help out.

On the traxxas forums a guy made a sick project with a Nue motor. Check it out.

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
Haha, people that want a more powerful motor in these crack me up. Makes no sense to me, especially since he just wants to bash it. I do want to get those wheels and tires though...

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
My motor and ESC crapped on me, I was just driving around when it seemed the temp protection kicked in. Later a tried to run it and it's all stuutering and caught up, plus there's no reverse, it just makes a whining sound. I'm kind of pissed, but at least I'll be on vacation for 2 weeks so hopefully it will be here when i get back. This is why I would trust Traxxas to get a truck before all the bugs are worked out, because their customer service is so good.

RE: OFFICIAL MINI E-REVO THREAD!!!
...here's a retarded question...how do you take the wheels off? The nuts are the same as my on-road, but the hex won't fit into the hole, so what are you guys using to take the nuts off?

errrrrrrrrr drrrrrrrrrr! Knew I was missing something! :)
I even have a few of those from my Savages...just didn't think of them. Thanks for filling in some common sense for me. |

My EREVO pics! I am using an 1800mah 15c 3s lipo from my plane, it just bearly fits but it works. The only thing that I don't like is that the balance lead hangs out of the battery box, but its the only 3s lipo I have that will fit.
