Tuning a buggy (losi XXX) for on-road use

Hi, this is somewhat of a repost from the off-road forum, but I'd like to ask what the best way to tune a losi xxx for on-road use would be. From what I've gathered, lower the ride height, and...

RE: Help picking off-road car for on-road use (robotics)

The weight will be close to stock (very small and light electronics). I would have figured the XXX would have tighter steering and be a little more agile, but I don't have experience with both....

Help picking off-road car for on-road use (robotics)

I need a 1/10 vehicle for a robotics competition. The vehicle has to drive around a parking lot as fast as possible (by itself). There are some small pot holes and rough spots in the parking lot, so...

These questions always come up, and you will always get the full gamut of answers from, "you're crazy to even think it" to "yeah, I do it all the time". A lot if this is due to the fact that you have...

RE: the official traxxas villain thread

I don't think so. I have a couple of spare titan motors, and a 14.4V ESC. I can probably pick up a Villain 7.2 for around $120, shipped, and a IV for around $100. I doubt I'll get an EX for anywhere...

Anyone run 14.4V on a Traxxas 7.2V ESC?

Has anyone tried it? I've made ESC's from scratch, and the only things I'd be worried about are over driving the FETs or overdriving the BEC. The BEC problem could be solved by using an external BEC....

RE: the official traxxas villain thread

So, I'm thinking of getting a Villain. I have a lot of radios, batteries, and motors (550 sized) from other projects, so I don't want to buy new. I'm looking at the Villain (non EX) or the IV, just...

RE: Any Futaba 3PJ or 3PK owners please help! (5:5 mode question)

OK never mind. I figured it out myself. I had to adjust the pot on the trigger and now everything is good. Just for future reference, though, on the 3PJ super there is a screw head on the end of the...

Hi, I purchased a used 3PJ and I think it's not working right, but I need to verify it with someone who has a working TX. If you have a few minutes, would you do the following small test for me?

RE: throttle neutral position on Futaba radios

Thanks. I've gone through the manual many times and it doesn't have the answer. I'll explain a little better what's going on. The throttle trigger comes set at a position of about 70:30%, so that the...

RE: High Altitude & Electrics

I can see your dilemma. Changing gearing would be difficult, but not impossible, I think. You may need a pinion puller, though. (I know xheli sells one) I may try this on my llama. Anyway, good luck.

RE: High Altitude & Electrics

The key here is to think about efficiency. How much work are you throwing away to heat, and how much goes into lifting the heli? There isn't anything inherently inefficient about being at altitude....

Does the the Belt CP come with a pitch gauge, or do I need to buy one along with the heli? Also, does it come with the USB cable for training? Thanks.

RE: High Altitude & Electrics
