RE: Tunning a VXL help needed.

1. Connect battery and turn on radio
2. With the ESC off, fress and hold the EZ-set (power) button. The LED will turn green, then red, then flash red. Release when light flashes twice.

RE: newbie electric questions

8.4V generally refers to a 7-cell NiCd/NiMH
I know someone who has had a bad experience with the Superstar EP. The motor mount is garbage and he doesn't like the brushed motor. Works good in wind,...

RE: POLL: Favorite drink (non alcoholic)

Root Beer.

What I really like is a blend, half Root Beer half Dr. Pepper/Mr. Pibb. It's the best of both worlds IMO, and it doesn't have the "mediciney" taste people complain about in Dr....

RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C.

Check for diff action, hold one tire in place and try to rotate the other. If there's no resistance, tranny damage (Probably a stripped idler, get an aluminum one, worth every penny. If not, could be...

RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD

For brushless systems, it depends on what you want. I do run a 'Pede VXL, but I don't have any means of direct comparison.

Mamba Max- Offers the most tuning options, also nicely priced....

RE: yeaaaaah i got my rustler vxl today

I agree with guver, the box says to get at least 3000 NiMH's, but my Orion Super Duty Plus 3000's nearly overheat when I drive with them. Not as close as 1900mAh NiCd "sport packs" did in my Evader,...

RE: DuraTrax Evader EXT EP ST any good?

I can side with the EXT on this one. I don't have it, but my Evader ST Pro's tranny (I think it's exactly the same as the plain ST) couldn't handle ITS OWN STOCK MOTOR (15t Orion Formula SV2 bushing,...

RE: OFFICAL PEDE THREAD

I don't think so. Went out of range several times with a Futaba receiver and it goes in circles full-speed when out of range. Scary! [X(]

My TQ radio works well, but I can't seem to mount a...

What to buy for Christmas?

It's holiday season again, and I'd like something that would go up steep hills and go through thick grass OK, and maybe the ability to tackle water puddles (probably means waterproofing). The local...

RE: The Evader Coalition - T.E.C.

Orions shouldn't blow out like that (I've run mine for 13 months with no brush changes and it still works). Maybe some dirt got in the motor (this has caused me problems once). Try spraying motor...

RE: The OFFICIAL Tires And Wheels Thread:

I'm looking into tires for my Evader ST Pro for performance on grass and clumpy dirt (I have Bow Ties for dusty dirt). I am wondering which tire is good for this use. I might drive it on asphalt if...

RE: Stampede XL-5, wich motor to buy?

I also recommend Orion Formula. They are very sturdy and low maintenance (you change brushes every 30 runs or so if you use the Enduro compound). The 'Pede shouldn't have any problems adapting to it,...

RE: NEW Controller. What the heck do I need?

Well, Associated was bought out by Thunder Tiger [:o] so now they use re-branded Ace RC Jaguar 2P radios in RTR's... And I also heard you might want to check if your T4 has only one capacitor (yellow...

RE: New Novak Motor Help

I don't own a brushless motor, but I think you just have to lube the bearing every so often.

The armature might wear out, and that's expensive, but I don't there's a way to avoid it. Don't...

RE: What should i get?

Yeah. MT's like the 'Pede are more suited for grass, and ST's like the Rusty, the T4, or the Evader ST are better for dirt tracks. I drive on a dirt track, and I've seen people have fun with 1/8...

RE: STAMPEDE MOTOR QUESTION????

I agree. I've read (I can't verify it's true) Orion motors have less friction and have brush life that rivals Checkpoint motors thanks to Angled-V brushes. I've only used Orion motors (I've never...

RE: False peaking on 12 packs! Is it the charger?

I AM NOT AN EXPERT, but here's what I know. I only have used a Novak Ionic-D and a Piranha AC/DC "peak power" charger. The Piranha never peaked right.

Well, I do know the AC/DC Ionic doesn't...

RE: Windows Movie Maker

Eject the drive. Does the tray say R/RW or R below the DVD logo? It should be compatible with DVD-R's then. If it just says ROM, you can't write DVD's. If the DVD logo isn't there, and you see a logo...

RE: Gearing for Team Orion 15T SV2 Pro BB

I'm no expert on gearing, but keep it the same or maybe lower it a bit. It's probably not much faster than a Titan. However, it is nice that you can change brushes (like most modifieds, you can take...

RE: duratrax evader questions

From what I've heard (I'm not entirely sure), the Evader hasn't changed much. The main problems you'll face with an evader are a stripped servo gear (It'll cost about $40 to fit a new one), and if...
