RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD
ok, i have a question on the hummer bodies. are they durable? how are they compared to stock.. thanks. that darn vxl is just huge.. it doesn't even really fit good under the stock body.
i mean, just look. and that back body mount is raised up too

that is the stock chassis btw. i did extend my chassis awhile back to fit an hpi jeep rubicon, but now its back to stock.

RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD
yeah i know. thats one of the reasons i wanted to convert to a rustler. you can put it down in the chassis. it really is wayy to big. i actually have never driven my hummer body. i painted it almost a year ago for my nitro pede. and right when i finished, my truck broke... and i just havent had the money to fix it with my revo and dark impact(racers... they come first) i have a hummer body for my revo and it was real durable. pro-line makes great stuff. the corners of the cab will crack if you land hard on the roof. but then again that was on a revo... from 8 feet up... in 40 degrees temps... with frozen ground.. haha. on the most part they are durable. they can handle a pede. no matter how bad the driver is. i will get some pictures up later tonight.

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRS33&P=0 - blue
those are all laquer paints. work well. ive used tamiya and it works well. but you have to be real light on your coats otherwise it runs....
here are some polycarb paints. ive used these too and like them
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCY14&P=0 - white
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCY15&P=0 - blue
just go through and look for spray cans in either the polycarb or the laquer paints. both work well on lexan bodys. you paint before? if not ill give you some light pointers.

well if you scuff the body right, then the paint wont chip. if you dont scuff it, then the paint will chip and peel in a hard wreck. both work fine. polycarb tends to take a few more coats to me. but doesnt seem to run as much.
for painting. the most important thing is prep. what you should do. is get some real fine sand paper. something like 1000 grit paper. and very very very lightly sand the inside of the body. if you do it too much it can mess up the paint. but extremely light scuff is good. avoid the windows cause they wont be painted and if you scuff them then they look like crap... after this
WASH IT! use warm, not hot, but warm water and dishwashing or hand soap. rub the body thoroughly. afterwards, whipe it down with a dry clean and smooth cloth. or lightly with a paper towel. afterwards you can use a hair dryer to dry it a little more. let it sit, inside down so it doesnt get dust or anythign in it for a while till its completely dry. then mask it and paint. always put window masks on first though.

Why does a SxS pack give longer runtime and more power/speed? Please help (I'm getting new batteries soon).
Thanks.

Someone told me that it cuts out after 1 hour. that would be 4000mAh. It's 4500mAh.
Edit: Sorry I ment the battery is 4500mAh not the cut off.

RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD
I'm thinking of [link=http://www.all-battery.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1894]this[/link] one. Does anyone know if that peaks before 4000mAh or not? My concern is that with the twin-peak it may only charge it to 4000mAh instead of 4200.
