Small batteries in big cars?

Can you use 1/3A kan cells in a larger RC? I was looking at them and despite being 1100mah they offer a good deal of power for weight. If I drop my 7cell kan pack into my friends Dagger (1/12 I...

RE: is this normal? (pics inside)

I got a buddy who leaves his minit butt hanging out and pulls wheelies all over the road. It seems to be holding up ok (that's pretty think round metal so it should last a while) and he doesn't use...

RE: xmods vs miniz

A word is considered derogotory or racist if it's meaning can be achieved easily using another word that is unmistakeably less offensive. If you can supply a word for "ricers" that describes what I...

RE: xmods vs miniz

I don't think a regular servo is gonna work on an Xmod, it might but I don't know if the way the stepper works in the Xmod is compatible.

For the most part I either drive my Giant on smooth turf, or rough, but rarely cross over during a single drive. I noticed today that I seemed to have to to adjust my ST TR a lot. It turns out that...

RE: xmods vs miniz

RE: xmods vs miniz

RE: xmods vs miniz

Dunno how this wasn't covered by now, but the XMOD CAN NOT use standard radio gear. This is one of the huge faults in the xmod. It uses a stepper system for about 16 steps of propo steering, not...

RE: different pinion on mini giant

I got them on, the problem wasn't getting at the motor, it was that the hole in the gears was actually so small I couldn't get it to go on the shaft. I ended up taking some old race tin motors, and...

RE: different pinion on mini giant

RE: xmods vs miniz

Ack Fremont... why can't there be a reasonable track less than half a tank of gas away from me? Is that track the offroad one or the onroad one? I might have to try it at least once if it's offroad.
