Here's my PSU...

Hmm, big box for a motor...

Baja5BLST

We'll leave it at: Damn big.

Well, I finally got back from out of town, and got my Novak SS5800 system from Hunter. Nice man, thanks! Definitely NIB - the thing was still shrink wrapped!

Hunter is a solid seller!

Lunchboxer

Looks pretty nice Paint! That's a fan opening on top?

What's the current rating on that bad boy?!

Lunchboxer

NICE!! That one will go into which vehicle again?!

Eman77

Not sure. I'm thinking the TA-05R, if/when it ever arrives. Either that or the Stampede, but I figure I'll keep the 12T titan in the Pede until it dies, then think about BL for it.

Lunchboxer

So the TA-05R is not there yet, huh?!

I know that you were looking for a shaft drive TC before.. Ultimate has the Kyosho TC that's shaft drive on the "Special" section.. it is $249 shipped.. pretty good price for a full CF-chassis top of the line TC! Just FYI!

Eman77

Heh, thanks for that. I will look at it for kicks (what's the name of the model?). But I really wanted a Tamiya kit more than a shaft, so I went with that TA-05R TC. If I were willing to not get Tamiya, I'd have probably went for an HPI or Associated shaft TC (probably better parts support). Or blown a bit more $$ and got that Schumacher Mi3.

Anyway....yeah, the TA-05R is still listed as "on order" on Ultimate's site. My order status is "processing" or something like that. This thing better come through - I'd hate it if it got cancelled (refund to me), but then the TA-05R disappeared from Tower or something and I lose out. [&:]

Eman77

Whoop - never mind. I see that Kyosho now in the Specials. Nice!

Max is 24.?? at around 14 amps, and lowest is 3.3 at .21A depending on which 2 output plugs are connected.

I tried to run my Triton off it last night, but I'm having a problem. When I hook it up [12+ and 0 (COM)] the charger doesn't turn on, when I hook it up the opposite way, the charger powers up but then my PS shuts off, must be a protection circuit. The output of 12+ is 12 A. I know that the voltage and A are fine, because the readings from the DVM are fine.


I could build a new one from scratch instead from a computer's PS, but I don't think I can reach the required A. Besides, I need to be able ot bring a charger to Montana tomorrow, but it looks as I won't bring RCs if I can't get this PSU working.

Oh, yeah, I took a piece of sticky rubber and some foam sheet from work, the hole I cut wasn't that sqaure so I used that to mask it LOL. I'm thinking I'll buy a smaller fan to put on the side, as just idling it gets kinda warm in there; I should probabaly do more to the current resistor other than ziptie an old XL-1 heatsink on it...

Lunchboxer

I hear ya.. can't go wrong w/ a Tamiya!!

Nah, TA-05R is new, so it will be around for awhile.. no worry there! Besides, you can always go for the TA-05MS when it comes out if you didn't get the TA-05R.. hee hee..

Lunchboxer

Should definitely get a fan for sure!! Power supply like yours w/ a lot of current handling capability will need a fan!!

lee172

got the last of my three bodies today, got some wheels to go with them as well..

Eman77

Nice! Where did you get those wheels, Lee?

paintstikker

Has a big fan, barely fits as it is really close to the heatsinks, but I need to find space for another fan.[&:]

lee172

i presume you mean the (grey) SLK wheels as they are quite rare? got them off ebay, lucky find i think as they were the last two pairs.

M35 is coming along pretty nicely, but I can't do anything until I get the axle (parts are still out of stock) as I need to get the drivetrain in place so I can cut the cab right. I can't cover te cab in plastic until it's squared and cut...

the 1/25th lowboy is slowly coming along. I've got the gooseneck and the deck finished, but I still need the jeep, dolly, and the rear portion of the lowboy (Which is detachable)

Nick2618

excuse my noobness what exactly is the psu and what are you using it for...

Lunchboxer

Power Supply.... hee hee..

paintstikker

Power Supply Unit, it used to be for a computer but I converted it to use with my battery chargers (Triton2 and Pirahna), but so far it runs everything BUT my chargers![:@]

Lunchboxer

Yeah Paint, keep me posted on those semi axle parts...

I assume that you'd need a TLT axle for the front, right?!

paintstikker

F350, but I'd like it a little less wide; the TLT would work. I can't get a TLT axle w/o paying $$$ though...

Lunchboxer

Not like F-350 axle is any cheaper... unless you are stealing it from your F-350..
