RE: More diverse wheel options for Dark Impact

That's a shame. I really liked those wheels and tires too.

Oh well .... Thanks for the input

When assembling the differential gears (front and back) exactly how tight should I be cranking down on the cap screw (MA7) to ensure that it is properly tightened. I guess I'm trying to ask just how...

I've got a Traxxas E-Revo 1/16 with two of the battery packs that come with it.

RE: RC radios

Hello all ...

Rather than make another thread, Ifigured it would be good to just tag-a-long on this one since it already exists concerning radios.

Don't mean to deter from the OP question, so...

RE: Batteries, run time, and speed.

Do I need a low voltage cutoff switch?

While I know I'm going to decide on a Traxxas Slash or E-Revo ... I don't know if either of these have a built-in LVC for lipos.

RE: Batteries, run time, and speed.

I'm looking for Lipos at the moment and came up with another question ... what does the "p" stand for?? (ie: 2s2p or 2s1p)

RE: Batteries, run time, and speed.

I'm really getting lost with these new lipo batteries and what they are capable of giving the RC hobbyist in the form of power, run time and speed.
