    Wow, what sort of car is it??? The only thing that damages it is concrete…..are you saying you can whack it with a hammer and it will survive???……just being a smartass:)

    They dont go as hard as a mini Z, the idea of interchangeable body kit smells like ‘kids toy’.

    The AWD is gimmicky.

    But heck i want one!!!!!

    I got the parts today, but the 13 tooth titanium pinion will be here next week.

    The neodymium motor magnets I have reduce motor RPM by 20%, but Quadify the torque output.

    So if all things go to plan i might exceed my goal, but i best not count my chickens before they hatch…..

    Tonight i have CA glued all the tyres to the rims and rebuilt my brand new motor with ball bearings and Neodymium magnets. Some very high wattage coming out of this thing.

    Stay tuned ppl, i will conquer this bloddy thing!!!

    Trash, i have bought a battle set of these, with 2 tanks and a few buildings etc.

    They should be here in a week…..cant WAIT soooooo excited!!!!!!

    I payed AU154 for the pair with accessories.

    But i do have some questions, im a digi Q dumbass……

    Do they have proportional throttle???

    Are they made in japan????

    Do they track straight???

    Are they as fast as a Tomy 1.0????

    What is the IR ‘cannon’ range???

    Do they have much ground clearance, i.e. when i get them i want to turn make a rugged warzone.

    In parallel with the battery pack, NEVER in parallel with the motor……can you imagine doing a quick reverse (charging the capacitor up) then dumping it foreward???? The capacitor would put a huge load on the esc and possibly blow it.

    Why would you use a Heavy PR system to run 2 bit motors in a hangar rat.

    I think i need one, gives you supreme power off the line, and when you back off and throttle it the response is better. Sorta like what a wastegate or BOV does.

    Wish I had that much luck with batteries 🙂

    Sounds like your landing was through rotor (turbulence). The air rolls like a barrel across the ground you could say. It happens to passanger planes occasionally, the results are pretty much the same. On a big scale they are called microbursts. Usually caused by cold air falling.

    As you come in to land you get a sudden upsurge,
    so you power down and nose down. (this is fatal)
    as you move forward you fly into fast sinking air,
    already with the power backed off and nose down,
    you get smacked into the ground.

    In your case it sounded like you got the strong front, which pushed your nose up to a stall.
    Your response I’m guessing was power off, when it should have been full power and try fly through it.

    You’ll live to fly another day 🙂

    Nup im not that much of a flight dummie, as soon as i lost airspeed i applied full thrttle, but at 400 grams and a little 380 motor, not much happened, i guess it saved more extensive damage….

    The charger i use is my dad’s orbit micro lader pro, which runs off a 12v car battery.

    It can charge absoulutely any type of battery, inc. lithium ion, lithium tadiran, nimh, nicad, pb lead batts, etc.
    It can charge a pack containing 1-32 cells at 8 Amps due to it having a transformer inside, it also has an RS232 serial connection which logs data, graphs of charge, discharge etc.

    The 7.2v nimh pack in my XL measured 0.6 volts, or 0.1v per cell, i thought it was well and truly done, but after putting it on the regeneration/format charge cycle it was back to full capacity!!!!

    No diff
    No Propo control
    No suspension

    Good price
    Fun

    Hmmmmm wonder if these would be worth it…..

    Isnt there something a bit more high tech than a relay mod??? like a fet mod???? would reduce weight.

    And the comment micro_amps made about the pebbles grinding holes in the paint, making noises. And that fading thing….i dunno why you would want one!!!

    You can buy aussie compact char-g’s which are the exact same thing for 30 bucks.

    Trash, i was coming in for a landing as the wind was becoming gusty, and it made my plane stall and go backwards and down.
    That composite boom is damn strong……

    I havent looked at my plane untill today, and the damage is extensive.

    Firstly i checked the trailing edge of the wing…….nothing a piece of white tape won’t fix.

    Then i checked the tailplane, which was dangling by the cables. Again fixable…..

    I noticed the canopy had broken off and was just held by a rubber band…….plastic hinge will fix this.

    Then the worst part of all……
    I was looking at the prop, when i noticed that the motor was extremely crookard……and the plastic mount was deformed and totally stuffed!!!! The motor had got so hot it melted it out of its mounting!!!!! I quickly checked the battery pack which was still plugged in (STUPID ME:dead::dead: which had melted its heatshrink meaning huge cell temperature…..the mini connector had also partly melted.

    Damn…….

    This surely meant the fet had cooked itself too…

    I stripped the electronics out of the plane, (damn light fuselage!!) and examined the FET, which looked ok. Interestingly the servo, including gears, esc, reciever are all on one board.

    First off i put the battery pack on life support, or “format/regeneration” at 200mAh for a few discharge/charge cycles. And i am happy to say the battery pack is now back in perfect working order. Also, while scrounging through my big bucket of batteries, i found Nicad batteries in 7.2v stick packs that are exactly the same size!!! So 8.4v here i come!!!

    Once charged, i plugged in the battery, and tested the motor to see if it was o.k……worked perfectly and still had full thrust.

    So all i need to do is repair the crash damage and its all cool.

    great!!! just what i need, they arent available at electronics stores simply because nobody wants them!!

    Name a price posted and i’ll be happy to pay, even though im already in debt.

    twizm,

    Its alot more than 3 times the power!!!

    A dual cell car has around 4 times the power of a single cell.

    A tri cell has around 6 times the power of a single cell car.

    Well what i mean is you get what you pay for, cheap and nasty electronics and an actuator steering mechanism, but you get lovely mini Z bodies, wheels and tyres.

    dont even think of the palm runner, its cheap and nasty, with non proportional control, and virtually no grunt.

    DSE used to have them for $6.95 i think, but due to sheer lack of volume they were discontinued.
