    Yeah I’ve got the GP 750mAh batts and I’m very happy with them….

    I haven’t busted the front damper stay……yet! Lord knows from the jumps I was doing last night at betty’s that it should of..:shock:

    Yeah I’ve noticed that GPM have bought out some parts but not the damper stay yet….

    What’s the easiest way to contact bithead? What’s his turnaround time on orders?

    cheers dude,

    yeah, that’s next on the list.

    oil shocks
    bearings
    foam inserts (soft)

    What mods have you done on your madforce dude?

    z, it cost $145 USD + $35USD in shipping. In the same package I also bought some other sh1t. So the total cost for me was just over $300AUS…. I know, it’s a bit but it’s NOT a toy, a misconception held by many people.

    I went over to a mates place to check out his new 1/10 nitro offroader. That thing cost him > $1000AUS once he finally walked out of the store.

    Yeah they’re quite nice. I’m gonna paint the stock ones I’ve got and get some new alloys later on…..

    First purchases will be for performance, ie: the oil shocks and the bearing kit….

    Depends on the charge rate of C. If you look at the data sheet it says that at or below a charge rate of 2C you can use the MAX713 for both types…….. There’s a table on one of the pages, can’t remember which, sorry……..

    Kero, a few things man….

    First I want to confirm that the two solder pads on the left with the holes in the PCB are the two pads you screw the motor terminals into???

    If there are…..

    The left side has two small packaged chips, each with 8 pins, 4 on each side. Looking at the top one of the two you will notice strange marks? Perhaps it’s dead…..

    I say remove BOTH fets and fet mod it with some IRF7389’s…

    Cheers,

    sounds like half of the fets are fried….Can you take a pic of the PCB?

    Hey HFi, the heat sink is more like a triple heatsink, three soldered together! 😀

    I use a perfection 3.8 motor, that’s the fastest motor around basically. The motor gets VERY hot! That’s why I put the extra heatsinks……

    Looks good dude, I suspect the missed call on my mobile last night was to do with this dilema? :smiley2:.

    I use 6V battery pack for charging the car when I’m out and about. I don’t think this is enough voltage though. Although after charging it the car works fine and goes for a while.

    IF you’re gonna use a power pack, it’s best to limit the current using a 5W wirewound resistor. I charge my batts at 800mA which is way too much for the poor 50mAh batts but hey, I’m impaitient!:D

    I think if you charged at say 200-300mA you will get a better runtime due to the excessive over charging not being as much as it would be at 800mA.

    If you need a hand just give me a call…

    Cheers,

    The main achilles heel in this design is that is you run a motor hard, it heats up, and the heat on the shaft can melt the end cap and distort the hole where the shaft cames through.

    And that’s how I killed my EM38 Vanquish…..:dead:
