RE: Return of Lunchbox..

RE: Return of Lunchbox..

I just use a pirhana digital peak charger with 2400 nicads and GP3700 nimhs, this will work for any motor/ESC combo.

RE: Return of Lunchbox..

Sounds interesting, I'd love to see pics of the gears. Well, I just did some extensive test running, drove it like a maniac and I think it's just about ready for some video runs. Here is the adjusted...

RE: Return of Lunchbox..

These are the tires I chose. Pro-line Dirt Paws for shorter fresh mown grass, and Tamiya Vise Crawlers for the deeper and bumpier stuff. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/carpescorpio/tires2.jpg

RE: Return of Lunchbox..

My attempt at using the stock LB tires mounted on 2.2 HPI MT SS wheels ended in disaster. The uneven molding of the tires created an out of balance katy-wompus wobble that at 30,000 plus rpm's could...

RE: Return of Lunchbox..

This is a closer view of the ball-studs and chassis stiffening rails. It also shows the home-made fan mount over the Mamba Max ESC. http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b168/carpescorpio/innards.jpg
