if you look up the motors on the ausmicro shop they say what kind of a stack is required.
as for the drifting, i felt the same way. thats all i wanted! i’ve been messing around with my xmods evo which is awd and i have to say its a little over rated. but i guess i don’t have a real track so the small track i got going in my living room (floor boards) got a little boring and pissed my family off heaps! 🙂
nice job man. i can see how it may have been a bitch to tape it up. the windows look pretty detailed.
as for the r34 you should do a fast and the furious rip. might be even harder to mask up lightning though…
hey PH2T had a question for ya about the over voltage on the cap. was speaking to our electronics guy at work as i was looking for a lager cap for my ESC too and he lost it when i told him i was gonna go over voltage on it. he is a bit old school but he says that you should always go much lower than the rating or it could explode. you ever had a tantalum cap explode? i know from experience that electrolytic go off like firecrakers if overheated. nearly took out my eye! was great fun though
lol i guess…
so i tried all the tricks i know, and then some of yours but still can’t get this fkn servo to work! best i could get was it to stay centre and then move either left or right, but with no accuracy. kinda no point in having a prop setup lol. i guess i’m gonna have to dish out the cash and get the GWS pico you have. i guess at least that way i know it will work!
lol i was making a pretty broad generalisation. in particular i’m reffering to one group of mechanical engineers at uni that are the biggest and loudest bunch of rednecks. but i’m sure your nothing like them…
BE Electronics? now i see where you get the skills from… i’m doing BE mechatronics & comp science. i’m not so good at electronics but have always been interested, and can’t see myself as a mechanical knob so what better option than to combine the two!
back on the topic… you planning on a MM version with the new brushless?
that is nuts!!!! which one did you get? they are a bit pricey. might have to save a for a few weeks on my student wage lol.
My AAA’s aren’t even warm after a long run!
correct me if i’m wrong, but would that mean you are running close to 2A constant? if so thats nothing. what kind of run time you get out of the lipos? the feature i’m looking forward to most is voltage cutoff on the ESC.
i’ll see how i go with the servo. i’m starting to think i should have paid more attention in some lectures… i’ve done slew rates! even modelled systems with feedback, which i guess is a servo. damn my slackness!
lol servers you right for buying electronics from a hobby shop!
lovely!!!! just picked myself up 2 of the 40c(burst) lipo packs for $45AUD delivered.
do my eyes deceive me or do you only have 1 cell per battery compartment? i thought you had bee squeezing in 2 cells this whole time!
nice work on a whole. i’ve just finished ordering all the parts i’ll need to get my brushless up and running.
been having some trouble with the servo though. bought a 5g servo i tried to reconfigure to the mini z servo setup but no luck. i don’t think it was made to run with such a strong motor. the servo just shook from side to side like jitters but WAY bigger. picked up a 9g to try out because from what i could tell the motors are about the same size that the mini z runs. i must admit though i didn’t do the 1/8W resistor. i used the pot that came with the servo. did you have any problems getting the servo running?you thought the Hyperion 300mAh lipos were good. check these lipos out. 40C burst!!!!!!!!
I went RM due to space considerations. The motor is just too large for MM. If I could pull it off it will result in the motor sitting so high the roll on the chassis would be too much.
i never thought of that. i contemplated destroying my MM to fit it in but went for the RM. its a much nicer fit with less custom parts to be made
Once the li-po cells are removed from the actual pack they become a lot shorter, making it feasible. Although the battery tabs in the chassis do make it a tight fit.
i had no idea about that. do you know this to be true for all packs? so do you bend up the metal bit on the lipos that the terminals come out of to make it shorter? i mean that bit thats not actual cell.
So the feigao you got is a 2.3mm or 2mm shaft?
its a 2.3mm. this is the beast. was really impressed with the price:D although i have never seen such over the top packaging. the UPS box was about 30X25X10. f@#ing ridiculous!!!
how you managed to squeeze a lipo pack thats dimensions are 51X23mm into a space thats 48(at best)X21mm baffles me. you never cease to amaze! lol.
those pinions are 2.3mm shaft or 2mm? I used Hyperion 300mAh lipos in the end, 20C!!!!
thats an interesting question actually. got my Feigao in today so i tried out the pinions and was quite shocked at what i found. here is the list…
1 X 16t 2.3mm
2 X 13t 2.3mm (different colours)
1 X 12t 2mm
1 X 15t 2mmno idea what happened there…
looks pretty fast. i bought a 6240kv brushless to try myself. maybe i went a little to far…
was there any reason you went for the RM setup and not MM? was it a space thing?
maybe someone else can help with this question…. which handle better?excellent work mate!!!
@ kevsta –this is the lipo i bought.
i must warn you though. it did take a small amount of ‘convincing’ to get it in there. not sure what the rules are on lipos but i don’t think you are supposed to bend the end bit where the contacts come out of. i had to take off the sticky tape off the pack and do this a little to get it in. made sure that the contacts were insulated of course.
@ renton – you better start putting in some overtime because these things are serious fun. i’d put away for the car and at least another 50 for mods. just lost the minature clip that holds in the back tire. not gonna find it with a magnet this time 🙁 luckily i bought myself on of these yesterday. not sure what i’m gonna do with myself till it comes in though…
took it out for a spin last night. couldn’t believe the power! i have never seen anything mono so hard. nearly flipped a couple of times!!! never knew these thinks were so fast with lipos. gonna need to get a better suspension setup though. flipped every time i turned at high speed. runtime was also incredible. lasted a good 20 min with no drop in performance what so ever :topstuff:
just managed to cram a 350mAH lipo into my micro-t. fkn nuts!!!!!! the lipo has a max discharge of 15C so its more than capable of supplying the current this little beast needs.
can’t wait to reap the benifits of the increased runtime… yessssssssss
definitely change the charger if possible. i now use my swallow2 and get at least and extra 2 min run time. not much for most cars but on a 10 min run time its heaps. i’ve also noticed that it hoons around till its absolute last breath before it dies. not sure whats going on there…
yeah i agree. i’ve had some pretty serious top speed crashes and nothing has broken yet.
nice work man! can wait to see some action shots.
which LiPo cells did you go for?
and is there any reason you didn’t use the pinions available in the ausmicro shop for 1/16 buggy? checked mine and they seem to mesh alright.
done!
PayPal’s Exchange Rate as at 24 Apr. 2007:
1 Australian Dollar = 0.812567 US Dollarsbringing the totals to… in AUD….
DIEHARD = $197.25
PH2T = $74.10i’ll pm you guys my bank details now.
maybe as troubleshooting you should take off the aerial amd see the range then put it back on and check it again. at least tht way you will know if its an aerial problem
ok all we are waiting on now is PH2T’s confirmation and i’ll place the order.
yeah sure. but just so i don’t have to mess around with the calculations again do you mind if i just 2.50USD to your total, bringing it to 160.27375USD?
so now for the math…
2 X AWD chassis – 2000g
1 X FM module – 200g
1 X Firelap F1 body (silver dark) – 150g
1 X Firelap Enzo body (red) – 150g
1 X TAKARA Q-STEER INITIAL D – 400g
1 X TAKARA Q-STEER NISSAN SKYLINE – 300gtotal weight = 3200g
total shipping cost = 38.68USD (for registered air)diehard = 1300g = 40.625% = 15.71375USD
ph2t = 700g = 21.875% = 8.46125USD
klims = 1200g = 37.5% = 14.505USDdiehard order = 148.66USD + 5% discount (on AWD only) = 142.06USD
ph2t order = 53.1USD + 5% discount (on Initial D only) = 51.75USD
klims order = 151.80USD + 5% discount = 144.21USDTOTAL = 338.02USD
TOTAL FOR DIEHARD = 157.77375USD
TOTAL FOR PH2T = 60.21125USD
TOTAL FOR KLIMS = 158.715…which makes our final total = 376.70USD
if your happy with the totals drop me a msg or a phone call on ********** to confirm.
Andrew.
@diehard – yeah no worries. do you think i can have your number?
@ph2t – no problems. i’d preffer bank deposit but i guess we can work that out.i’m from thomastown. if ph2t is gonna get in on the order maybe we can have a meet down at the templestowe track. that way we can have a bit of a race if you guys were interested.
@diehard – i’m going to order an AWD chassis kit and an FM module
i was thinking we would divide the total shipping cost up by weight.
2 X AWD chassis – 2000g
1 X FM module – 200g
1 X Firelap F1 body (silver dark) – 150g
1 X Firelap Enzo body (red) – 150gtotal weight = 2500g
my weight = 1200g =48%
your weight = 1300g =52%registered air = 30.46USD
yours = 15.8392USD
mine = 14.6208USDyour order = 148.66USD + 5% discount (on AWD only) = 142.06USD
my order = 151.80USD + 5% discount = 144.21USDbringing out total to 286.27USD
…so, after all that the prices will be
DIEHARD = 157.8992USD
KLIMS = 158.8308USDif you find anything wrong with the math let me know lol.
as for the AUD price i won’t know till i place the order.
still want to go through with it? its only going to be about 7USD more expensive if you placed the order yourself.
probably cost you more in petrol to do a pick up lol. -
