RE: Official Dark Impact Thread

My antenna straw has never ever snapped and I transferred it from my evader bx that has rolled over many many times. I used a dubro antenna straw, it was much much better than the duratrax ones. So I...

RE: Official Dark Impact Thread

So it is resting on all 4 shock towers corners while the body doesn't touch the surface at all? (even with highest body mounting position?)
That's good news, it didn't look like that from the pics....

RE: What type of batteries are you using in your radio transmitter?

Yeah that's what I was looking at doing in the beginning when I made that thread, (1200mah nicd from ebay) but now after reading some reviews and self discharge tests, I think I'll go with those...

RE: Official Dark Impact Thread

I've wondered that for a long time, and now seeing more pics of the Keen Hawk body, I'll just take the occasion to finally ask:
when/if the car flips over, and assuming that the body is mounted on...

RE: Can someone work out the MPH please

Thumbs up on that, but if you want to have an even more accurate speed reading, instead of timing it, just videotape your car going between those points (using a digital camera or equivalent) and...

RE: What type of batteries are you using in your radio transmitter?

What I think is happening is that in the race for mah ratings (for marketing purposes) the newest designs sacrifice self discharge rate for extra capacity. (maybe less physical space for insulation...

RE: What type of batteries are you using in your radio transmitter?

LB, I wouldn't be so quick to say that.
I'm also using a peak charger to charge my energizer AA, I even tried different charge rates and trickles and those energizers are just worthless now unless...

In any case, I think you should revise your auction description to be less misleading on speed estimates, there is no way the...

RE: Video of my Bomb-Proof Products truck going 88MPH!!!!

If you want to get a good accurate speed estimate of that car, I suggest you drop the radar gun, draw some line on the ground (measured precisely), videotape your RC going full speed between those...

RE: 5700 3S vs 7700 2S Battery Runtime

I didn't interpret or quote ohm's law in that particular post as it has nothing to do with that post (batteries wiring and resulting battery capacity). I quoted ohm's law in my previous post as it...

RE: 5700 3S vs 7700 2S Battery Runtime

No you are making a fundamental mistake here, increasing from 2s2p to 3s2p won't increase your mah at all. You can't look at it as a "total mah" pool or you will be mislead. It's either series and...

RE: 5700 3S vs 7700 2S Battery Runtime

Now you say you understand there will be some dropout in runtime but in your previous post you start by asking "Why would more volts decrease runtime." Which one is it?
Any motor gets more current...

Although he is wrong about his estimates on duration, you are wrong as well... When you increase the voltage fed to any given motor the amp draw increases with it as well. That is why, giiven that...

RE: Mamba, low speed, unimpressed!

Actually the GTB seems to handle that just fine. (running slow for extended periods of time)
I run my GTB/4.5r combo at 35% ETA drifting with drift tires for 40mn and the ESC doesn't break a sweat...

RE: Largest capacity AA nicd on the market?

From the googling I have done, it's pretty much documented that nicd have a self discharge several times slower than nimh, especially near the...

Thanks, I found 1200mah AA nicd on ebay, I think that's the max at the moment.

RE: What type of batteries are you using in your radio transmitter?

To all you guys running Nimh, you must run your car quite a lot to not be bothered by the high self discharge rate, right?
I have some energizer and some duracell nimh (2500 and 2650) and although...

What type of batteries are you using in your radio transmitter?

I'd like to know what most people are using.
Also, you can specify the capacity of the batteries if you are using nimh/nicd and how long in average do they last you. (how often do you recharge them)

Tobee is japanese and they are good quality parts.
From the general consensus, yeah racing is about the lowest brand of hopups you can get for your DI.

Largest capacity AA nicd on the market?

I'd like some recommendations on the best aa nicd available.
I can't deal with the high self discharge of nimh for my transmitter batteries, so I want to go nicd.
Good recommendations anyone?
