RE: Troubling observations about brushless . . .

RE: Deans vs. Power Poles

I like Deans too - I have melted Tamiya's connected power poles the wrong way :)

The security and idiot-proof connections make it the best choice....

RE: It's been 6 months... And I'm still fuming

If this was a mainstream product, mass manufactured, like say a Trinity motor I would almost expect the manufacturer or supplier to replace it almost without blinking.

However, this is...

RE: Troubling observations about brushless . . .

In a previous life I used to use fishing weights - small lead weights - to adjust the corner weights on my racers.

RE: Dark Impact - Lunchboxer style..

You did 'teach' the ESC when you built it ?

You have to program the ESC to understand where neutral/full forwards / full backwards is.....

I forgot this step when I built my first lunchbox...

RE: body shape (why)?

Tear-Drop shaped, minimal frontal area, super skinny tires, nothing sticking out at the sides and you are into super slippery, lower air resistance.

Seal up the underside too - allow no air...

RE: Tamiya F-350 High Lift

Bearing in mind everything inside the kit is in plastic bags I would have no issue buying water 'damaged'.

At worst the instructions and the sticker set will be damp/damaged / unusable.

RE: body shape (why)?

I race in a 'fun class' locally, it is specifically aimed at Tamiya front-drive chassis - M01/2/3 and the FF series.

We all run stock motors, standard ESC (Tamiya) (or MSC) and stock Tamiya...

RE: Troubling observations about brushless . . .

RE: Troubling observations about brushless . . .

Honestly the throttle is in your control and you do not have to run full-throttle everywhere all the time !

The MambaMax ESC has extensive programming options that allow you to modify the power...

We need a cross country competition, or bring it next time you come to CA.......

It was built entirely out of spares - that was the whole idea :)

RE: which is better for fun driving?

The lunchbox is fantastic fun - not really terribly good off road and not really that good on it - a heavy shell, hopeless 'shocks' and a suspension design that changes the geometry when the truck...

Step 1 - strip about 3/8" of insulation from the wire
Step 2 - 'tin' the end by heating the wire and adding solder so that it runs into the strands
