PeteWah,

Already read this thread, the nelly uses a 5v regulator where the spider(as far a i know does not) to my knowledge the pcb can handle 6v, if i am to plug a 7.2 or 7.4v li-ion in I want to make sure the spider protects the board, or do i need to install a 5 or 6v regulator as per the Nelly. Has anyone used li-ions with the spider??

Regards

Harvis,

Are you sure the spider can handle this, in the userguide that Aaron sends out, it says a max of 6v. 4 to 5 cells. Not sure I should be adding lithium batts to it, has anyone done this??

Harvis, thanks for the info.

Do you know where I can get those batteries? I have installed metallic bearings, should I also go for the alloy diff setup??

Regards

Ok,

I am now thinking about a lithium setup, the spider and pn anima didn’t give me the performance gain I was thinking. Can the spider handle lithium batts? Anyone got a good source for lithium batts, all going in the firelap4.0.

I know ausmicro sell alloy pinion gears for the motors, does anyone know who sells the gears for the gearbox??

Aaron,

thanks for the reply, do you offer a heat sync with the turbo or are they extra, are they on the website? If for some reason I want to use lithpoly’s will the spider be up to the task?

Cheers

Now I have the motor, I need a turbo, any sugestions, how good are the spiders for the firelap and this engine?? I sent a pm to PH2T asking about a nelly but so far no answer. Will the spider work just as well as the Nelly for this setup?? Also Aaron do you guys stock any alloy gears for the firelap 4.0, don’t want the insides comming apart.

Cheers

I will not be racing this engine, it is for my firelap4.0, just wanting speed. Thanks for the advise, will look forward to testing those tyres.

Regards

Just another quick one, off topic. I have just recieved a PN Anima motor in the mail that I purchased through ausmicro.com. I am going to install it in a firelap 4.0 with turbo, do I need to run the motor in before hand, or are they ready to go?? If i need to run in, what is the best way?

Will wait for reply before I do anything.

[aussie_miniz]

Thanks for the info, the concrete is pretty smooth, I will test a soft foam tyre first and see how I go, I will post some pics of my track in my shed when I get setup.

Thanks for the help guys.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the replys. Betty.K – what type of gandini’s do you recommend? Hard soft medium? also I want my original mclaren top to fit, so I don’t want to go much wider with the rims. I have added bearings, and will be getting a new alloy motor mount as I broke the first one within 5 minutes of having it, I will also get a carbon h plate as the stock ones are not 100% square.

Thanks again.

Hey Ken,

My track will be indoors, well in my shed anyway. I live in South Gippsland(near Phillip Island), about 90km from Melbourne, thats why I gave up racing a Knox. I have tried my car in the house on floor boards but it keeps spinning out on corners, which is what it does in the shed on the concrete. I see ausmicro are selling a few types of tyres, but I am unsure which way to go. How do you run your car Ken, have you got many hopups, run stock engines etc. Thanks for the reply
