RE: RC for Kids

Good god, that's so much easier than I thought. I thought you actually had to take the motor apart http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/confused_smile.gif

RE: RC for Kids

How often should you clean and re-lube the motor and do you have a link with instructions to do that?

I know I am asking a lot of questions and I really want to let you all know that IREALLY...

RE: RC for Kids

Would simply using the training mode when bashing in the yard have the same effect as changing the pinion gear? That would make it easier to switch back and forth. I'm not sure how hard it is to...

RE: RC for Kids

Do you have an idea as to what the pinion should be? Yes I'm asking you to guesshttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/msn/regular_smile.gif

Also it is true that 1/16...

RE: Stampede nimh vs lipo

If you have a 5A charger, why would the lipo charge faster than nimh, I thought you could charge them both at 1C which would mean about 1 hour charging for either (assuming 5000mah battery), or did I...

RE: Stampede nimh vs lipo

Based on this, would the 8.4v NiMH have more "power" than a 7.4v lipo? Power being acceleration and top speed. And assuming the same mah, the run time should be the same too should it not?

RE: Stampede nimh vs lipo

I'll need to pick up a quick charger and extra battery. I'm trying to decide if I should just get nimh ( a little cheaper) or go with lipo as I'm getting the charger now and use it for both. Sorry...

RE: Stampede nimh vs lipo

The one I'm getting now is for my 5 year old son. He doesn't need any more than that. I'm looking at getting my own in the next year or 2. I just want to figure out if I can run both on NiMH,...

Stampede nimh vs lipo

Hi,

I'm looking at getting a Traxxas Stampede xl-5. It comes with an 8.4v 3000mah (I think) nimh battery. I am wondering if there is any point in looking into lipo batteries for this. Will the...

RE: RC for Kids

I think (for now anyway) I will go with the Stampede as it is a better fit for what my son will want to do with it (running around the yard through puddles and such). Anyone know roughly how long...

RE: RC for Kids

If I went with the Duratrax Evader, can it be upgraded to be waterproof? What would it need?

RE: RC for Kids

Other than the Traxxas models, are there any other water proof ones in the same price range? (Around $200)

Hi,

I'm tired of getting the RC cars from toy stores that only last a week, so I thought a hobby car might be the way to go. I just want an entry level, but a tough car/truck for my 5 year old. I...
