RE: Deans Plug for Charger

Better in theory, but a poor soldering job can actually have MORE resistance than dean's. It isn't worth the hassle and possible slight improvemnt IMO....

RE: Deans Plug for Charger

Your run times may be shorter since you're drawing more current (remember, power is a function of current SQUARED) but you will have less wasted energy. The tamiya plug is like a resistor in series...

RE: Novak Super rooster

NO. A brushless motor needs a brushless ESC. A sensored brushless motor (like the Novak Super Sport) needs a sensored ESC.

The super-rooster is a good ESC. The no-motor limit means that you...

RE: about Novak brushless problems

Yeah, I realize that, but I PAID for a system that is SUPPOSED TO handle 7-cell. 7-cell has about 36% more power than 6-cell, so that's a big drop in performance/speed. And I don't need body holes...

RE: Novak brushless poll

What???? ALL new Novak ESCs (including the SS) have the "priority" BEC system that gives priority over the BEC vs the motor. If the battery gets low, the motor shuts down and radio control is...

RE: about Novak brushless problems

Airflow might not be enough. I have two SS5800 systems, with two 5V fans per car (one on the ESC, one blowing over the motor). I still can't get through a pack of ProMatched 7-cell GP3300s without...

RE: about Novak brushless problems

Geeek:

Are you saying you use 4-cell packs with the SS? If that's the case, I would hope you don't have thermal shutdowns! The SS is supposed to handle up to SEVEN cells. Now if you do the...

If you're interested, I'm selling a Super Brain 959 on ebay. It's a good charger for the money. Just do a search with the keywords "959 Super Brain"

RE: Sharp Pinion Gear ?

You can use Paragon Ultralon for pinions and spurs. It goes on wet, but dries as a thin teflon film that sticks to the gears. Just don't run the car 'til its dry (about 15 minutes). Also, shake...

RE: Thinking of going brushless

If you order from Tower, use this code to save $20: 04441. I think this code is only good for April. I just got my Novak SS from them, and I love it. Also, I would stick to a new Novak SS, since ...

RE: New Motor Problems

Is the motor turning the correct direction? It should be turning counter-clockwise looking at the shaft. If not, then the timing will be wrong, and the motor will not have full power. Also, check...

I picked up a Pro3 on Ebay for $50. I love it, though I just bash with it, not race. I don’t have any real hop-ups, but the car is still pretty fast. The biggest problem is the infamous...

RE: Bashers unite: Tires

I use HPI M-compound radials (#4512) on my Pro3 touring car. Hardly any wear after about 30 runs so far. Not the best traction, but I like a little slippage and fish-tailing when bashing.
