i prefer to run rich anyway to make sure it isnt overheating.

. Minimum running temp you (want) to aim for is (debetable) 180, thing is you want the parts to expand so they dont' wear out

RE: THE LOUNGE 3...
I did not check the brushes - to be honest, I've never done that! Sounds like a reasonable explanation, though. What am I looking for when I pop the brushes out? Or when looking at the comm, for that matter?
If it is the brushes, I'm a tad surprised - I don't feel like I've run the RZ THAT much yet (but maybe I have...?). If that's the case, then +1 for BL I suppose.

This is tempting. I'll let you know what I decide.

I already have too many jets ha ha. Maybe if I ground one I'll pick this one up.
Someday flying 2 feet off the ground fill throttle in the darker evening on windy days will catch up to me.

I just forgot I have a jet in my basement I never opened out of the box and one I am upgrading the motor lol, I'll do those 2 projects first he he.
NIB (got it unpainted so I can airbrush it myself.
Being renovated.... (from 7 years ago, brushed motor and 1800 7 cell nicad being upgraded to lipo brushless 4 cell setup.)

I'm not feeling the Mirage 2000, but love the Me262. Is the one below the Me262 a Starfighter? (Forget some of the names of those early US jets....)

Yep The starfighter, that one right now is cut up sp I can replace the electronics.
I should get on the Me262, just am trying to figure out a power setup, EDF jets draw so much current with hardly any battery room sometimes you NEED 30C batteries, and the fact that this has 2 motors, I think I am in trouble
. I'll figure it out.

RE: THE LOUNGE 3...
Sounds like it is the problem w/ the motor... ?!How many runs do you have on it?!
ORIGINAL: Eman77
So, something's up with my Tamiya RZ motor I have in the DT02. Either it's going wiggy, or my TEU-101BK ESC (which isn't rated to 23T anyway) has finally refused to cooperate further after a 1/2 dozen runs without issue.
It's odd - when I first turn on, I can sometimes get it to go FWD/REV, but then it just stops dead. No motor. Steering is fine. I took out the spur gear, same thing with the motor running w/no load. Put in a different (stocker) motor, it runs just fine.
I took the RZ motor out, hosed it down with motor cleaner (it was due anyway), sat it to dry. Will give a try tonight....seems like a weird thing to happen out of nowhere (seemingly). If the cleaning does not help, I figure something's wrong with the motor, or the ESC suddenly decided not to work with motors with fewer turns than it's rated for. LOL

Cool.. so you can plug the bottle to the wall outlet and recharge them to full when the nitro is all used up, right??
ORIGINAL: moron88
i finally got a new rc! i whent nitro because fuel is cheaper than batteries. i got a traxxas nitro sport. im not following the traxxas break in too much because it is too weird, it says to keep the engine running but i had to stop because i didnt want to over heat it. pics sooon.

Lol, you should go see sheograth and raid his 1/5th collection 
and then give it to me. As Longhair would have said "spreading the wealth"
