it is 7.4v 900mah 10c pack. it is 10mm x 26mm x 71mm -and weighs 38 grams or 1.3 oz

19.99 retail

It fits in the center of the SMC 1C battery slot. we tested it and the MAH used during a 5 Minutes was 60 MAH. So you should be able to get a few races in.

this will give you a sense of the size.

the one on the right is the rec lipo.

Thanks

The one piece .051(lowest we can go) lower pivot balls assembly are now available again.

Use these in the rear, front Etc, to increase or decrease traction. One piece lightweight design takes the guess work out of where you are at with your settings. No more shims under the T plates.

They are available in single or doubles quantities.

here is the direct link for the RC side of the company. Got some really cool parts coming up for the old style and new style frint ends. I will keep you posted as the pics of the fisinished produce comes in.

Ask Rhodes about the new bearng oil!

21.5 shoot out? CRC in the house????

So will the machined upper arms work fine with the current front end? (not R5) Also, if I just got the "conversion" could I use all of my current (non-r5) parts to complete it?

u can complete the car w/ regular associated parts.

The upper arms do not work with the old style front ends.

You can use all your old parts spindle, spindle carrier, king pin spring etc. with the conversion kits

lol... I think he's asking about the new front end, not the car Brandon...

Matt, from the looks of it, the upper arm is narrower than the current arm on the old style front end. The uprights on the caster block are much closer together than what we're used to. I think the only old style parts you could transfer would be the steering block, upper eye and turnbuckle.

yes you can use either the new style or old style upper eyes, and we all know the pivot balls are still the same.

Yea, I guess I'll prolly just order up some of those nice little "clickers" from T2C (neat idea, btw!).

Atleast now I wouldn't need 3 sets of laser etched caster blocks to spend money on :thumbsup:

Or prototypes from some guy... ;)

It was a simple approach to resolve a few things


Flex of Stock Caster blocks
Ability to lead and trail Front wheels
Delrin uppers arms to reduce flex in new arm.
American Standard Spacing for Bulk heads
American standard Bolt ( Bulkhead, Caster Blocks Lower Arms and Upper Turnbuckle)
Clickers to get rid of all those washers, some washer may be required but every click is .010

Question for Team T2C: I do not have a R5 front end with your R5 conversion whatelse is needed?

13.5 single cell.

All the pics of the front end on the site are solid models, at least that I saw, any actual pics?

PRI you have PM

Pat,
We will try to get some real pics posted when Shawn gets back in a few days. These front end enhancements are going to be sweet. Thanks. Bob

What rear bulkheads are you all running?

the plates that come w/ the kit use AE plates(Crc/IRS makes them lowered .090)

I have CRC on both of mine. Not sure if Shawn has T2C bulkheads in stock, but he sells them also on the website

Are the t2c basicly the same as the crc ones? I wonder if the 10R5O would work?

The new T2C pod plates have some material removed on the left bulkhead to accommodate the sensor wires on the duo and Tekin motors. The Twister has a narrow pod which makes the sensor wires tight with CRC or IRS pod plates. Bob

Bob, do you accept paypal there is no option on the two2cool.com website?

sbrown@two2cool.com. If you are going to pay that way let me know when you place the order. Just choose a payment option that is not instant.

Also I am just getting settled back in at home.

I will get some info posted about the front ends tomorrow. and I will get them to get the photos taken.

Sorry for the dealy lots of people wanting it and we are just running behind on getting all the info out there.

Check your paypal...

got payment but you need to order the stuff online so we know what to send.

Whats the easiest way to do this I do not yet have a R5 front end? Buy the Mamaba conv kit and then just add spindles,axles and king pins or get the new R5 front and add the Mamba conv?

Most people want to choose the parts they use in thier front end.

example
Losi King pins
KSG pivots etc.

the reason we we decided to offer the conversion is due to the preference differences from each persons front end.

ok, I'll get a Mamba ordered up and build it from that point with what I usually run.

bamba full kits are not in stock looking at end of july on the full kits.

I see Mamba Conversion kits in stock...Right?

We are running short on lower r5 arms. I have another shippment scheduled next week around july 10th. As the orders are coming in we will fill them with the Lower Control arms.

AE said they will be back in stock this month. we have another large shipment of R5 Lower Arms schedule for arrival on the 16th of July So we should be fine.

We are also Looking at Machining Delrin Lower arms in the future.
