LMAO!!!

lol, ph2t…I remember once that you used an Xray M18 16T pinion gear in your Madforce…assuming that this gear is the same gear pitch as that, and that the Madforce and Mini-Z Racers have the same gear pitch, you could probably go insane on the Tamiya Speed Checker and use this (along with an Overland Ball Differential):

😯 That’d sacrifice a lot of torque, but with Nelly…:dead:

[Charlie Brown]

Amazing stuff as usual, ph2t…

About the thin H-plate: With the MM mount, does the H plate show any signs of cracking, splintering or breaking?

And, how does the springless oil shock contribute to the handling? Wouldn’t it be almost the same as removing it?

[Charlie Brown]

cool stuff…You said that you’re using a 3×2 stack of IRF7317’s, but in the vid, I see those trademark rainbow wires and that plug for the motor wires…Something you hiding from us? 😯

[Charlie Brown]

Check the front wheels…unscrew the lug nuts and see if there’s any gunk in them like carpet hairs or stuff like that. If there is, that could cause more friction in one wheel, which lets the other one rotate faster, which leads up to some turning. Since it spins out to the left, there could be problems with the left front wheel spinning, because it might have more friction in it than the front right wheel…

[Charlie Brown]

NICE job ph2t, looks great….can’t wait to see the finished project, and a vid! 😉

[Charlie Brown]

From ikinari’s website, with a regular Kyosho MR02, I’m guessing you can fit a 2×2 stack, but with some cutting and a bit modding you could possibly fit a 4×2 stack.

3. Thou shalt returneth all of thine neighbor’s tools, crystals, and other things that thou borroweth from thine neighbor’s pit box;

4. Thou shalt neither covet nor show disrespect to thine neighbors ride, and shalt display good sportsmanship and cry out “good race” even if thou whippeth his a$$ royally;

7. Thou shalt keep thine diff balls tight and well lubricated, that thine neighbors shalt check it’s action and cry out SWEeeeEEET!

9. Thou shalt not useth thine ride in an unsafe manner, or to chase thine neighbor’s cat, or thine neighbor’s dog, or thine sister, or thine brother, or any of the animals of the earth, as thine ride is the holy vessel with which thee may participate in the holy ritual of RC racing and should be used only for racing or backyard bashing to keep it holy, Amen;

10. Thou shalt not whineth or maketh excuses as to why thou loseth the holy race.

LOL!!!

Don’t forget bearings!

[Charlie Brown]

Damn….wonder how the ESC and RX didn’t blow with that much voltage…And look at how that thing drifts! 😯

[Charlie Brown]

Yeah, but what I meant is, if I work at a fast food restaurant, then I might tend to eat some of the fast food, and….well…*puffs up cheeks and sticks out belly* You get the idea. 😯

[Charlie Brown]

Well, since I only had so much money to spend, and I needed better batteries, and I was lacking any good AA batteries, I went to Wal-mart today to pick up 4 IC-3 AA batteries. I popped em in the charger for 8-10 (out of only 15) minutes. I adjusted the gear mesh properly, took it outside and gunned the throttle.

This thing was about 3x as fast with a stock setup and 4 AA alkaline batteries! I had a lot of fun with it, zooming both uphill and downhill. It drifts really well in the dirt and on the smooth driveway (you heard me…it drifts!!!) Speed isn’t as fast as my friend’s nitro, but it’s fast enough to wake you up from boredom. It wheelies nicely too…start off in reverse, then JAM it forward, you’ll be amazed. That’s only with the super spin bearing set and 4 IC-3 AA’s! I can’t imagine how much more fun it’d be with a nice battery pack and a hotter motor…just insane.

Bottom line: A Mini-T with bearings and just 4 IC-3 AA’s, just 75% charged….I don’t even know how to put it. JUST BUY IT!!!

Oh, and make sure you properly adjust your gear mesh! Here’s a little help on how, scroll down to where it says “stop stripping gears”.

It’s the same here, but if you’re a CHUBBY 15 year old whose mother wants you to lose weight….theennn….

[Charlie Brown]

It’s not that easy when you’re my age, merc….

BTW, you on AIM or MSN or Yahoo?

[Charlie Brown]

lol….well, since I’m gonna have to go with the battery packs, I might as well get ready to buy a seperate charger as well. 😛 But anyway…I’m gonna have to start doing a loooot of chores around the house now.

[Charlie Brown]

haha…for birthday money, I got $71 total, and a cool jacket and shirt, plus birthday cards. Oh, and on the day of my birthday (Saturday) me and my family all had a great dinner at the best restaurant out there…The Cheesecake Factory!

Out of the $71 I had, I spent $5 on school food… (I know what you guys are thinking…”Those bloody fat-arse yanks!”)…so now I have around $65 birthday money left over, plus $101 of allowance, so I can spend around $166!!! (USD) Not sure what to spend it on yet…

[Charlie Brown]

haha…thanks guys.

So ph2t, since it’s my birthday, you getting me anything? (hint: W.N.?) :smiley2:

you’re an idiot CB….

Wow, thanks for the breaking news.

….He said “plasma dash magnets”….I remember him saying somewhere else that they were stronger than normal magnets….

is the monster still in one piece ph2t??

would love to see a vid of it now man (hint hint)

😀

Yeah, I’d love to see a video…

BTW ph2t, you planning on using ferrite magnets (more top speed) in the motor?

CB the nelly technicaly has a regulator in it.. it doesnt run thrught the main pcb it supplys 5v to it and the full amount ot fo the packs so u can run more power then the pcb can handle ne ways

Umm..the idea I had was that you would install, let’s say, a high voltage battery pack on the car, using a regulator to keep it safe for the main board…but with nelly 1.3’s mosfet driver technology, you could hook the source (red and black) wires directly to the full voltage of the battery pack, so that you’d not only be keeping it safe for the main board and letting full power go to the nelly/motor, you’d also be turning on the nel…

Ah, never mind.

BTW ph2t, what are the new mosfets used in nelly 1.3?
