Couple of my buddies that raced said the cars were sick and the guys in the pits thought they were pretty damn sweet.

I am looking for a used radio to replace one of mine that had a bit of a failure today. If someone has something they are looking to get rid of give me a shout. Thanks.

When is the next work day....

Dart, Sounds like that was fun... I wanted to go just to watch...

It's nothing special but I have an Airtronics CX2P if you want it.
20.00

I know there is a lot on the schedule for Monday, and of course Wednesday will be a big work day as usual.

i hear that gns!!!! so whens the next nitro race?????? truggy, monster truck??? buggie? gns you want to go im all in!

All in dude. tenitivly planning on 31st at proving grounds, u up for that?
just running truggy NITRO. and mayby slash on the oval if they do that!

I am getting the 8ight and m11x all setup.. I am using 4C lipos. I used a voltage meter to see how much voltage the esc was putting out to the receiver before plugging it in and its 6.5 volts. My receiver says no more than 6 volts max. Is it safe to use?

My novak havok pro puts at 5.98 volts to the receiver on my sc10.

Is anyone going to be there at all today? I will be in Grand Rapids today with the family and they want to take a peek at it...

It's Sunday so I'm guessing no but I thought I would ask?
We will be going by about 6pm tonight.

Dart, I have a couple radios.If you run spektrum and have a receiver I have a Dx3 -25.00, I also have an older, but nearly unused futaba magnum JR Tx and Rx- 20.00.

So I want to hear about running the nitro's on the supercross track. Who went and how was it?

Heffae has the vid.:) I recorded while they ran there cars.

anyone know if 6.56v is to much to run into your receiver/servo?

I dont have any experance with that esc. I run the MMM. You might want to call losi custumer service to see what they have to say.

you could also do a search on rctech or post a thread on it too. that site is more world wide....

Cool......uhhhhh.....could you try again with a smidge of punctuation? My head hurts from reading that.


Kidding, bro. Welcome to the dysfunctional family.

So what's the word on moving dirt tomorrow night?

I believe as long as the guys working on the water lines are finished, its game on.

anyone know if 6.56v is to much to run into your receiver/servo?
I'm sure you'll be fine. Once you put any kind of load on it I'm sure the voltage will drop to 6 or below. I can't imagine they would make a RTR vehicle that would ruin peoples receivers. A 5cell NIMH 6.0v pack will be over 6 volts when charged and they are made for receivers.

I believe as long as the guys working on the water lines are finished, its game on. The waterlines you speak of, are they fire protection or watering system?

Sprinkler system for fire prevention underneath the drivers stand.

Oorrrr....spraying multiple contestants in the Wet T-shirt contests!

U SAID SMIDGE HAHAHA :tongue: TEAM MEETING?

Ah, per the request of Muddy Waters & Ali-Bubb-a (Bobby T), here is a little of the video. They didn't turn the lights on for the first 6 minutes of the show when we were jumping, just a spotlight on the vehicle. Camera video is poor quality trying to compesate for no lighting when you transfer it to youtube so that is not on here, this is about an hour into the show when they left the lights on.

Are the Xcelorin 8th scale brushless motor any good? If I were to replace the esc is it better to get motor/esc or just an esc and use the motor I have?

Losi motors are good, I think the best combo for 8 scale at the moment is the Mamba Monster (Castle Creations) of-course it depends who you talk to, anyone who's put some hours on any of the big three companies will tell you they all have problems, sometimes you'll get one that lasts 6 months and others won't work out of the box, usualy it's the ESC.

I've had great luck with the Losi Motors, rotten luck with the Losi & Tekin ESC's. I think in the next 6 months most of the bugs will be worked out of the ESC's with: Losi, Tekin & Mamba.

I went ahead and ordered a mamba esc, will use the losi motor, thanks!

Order the bearings for your worm gear. The worm gear bearings are the same as the rear bearing in your Losi motor. Go ahead and replace the rear bearing in your Losi motor if it is used. Otherwise give it about 10 runs and replace it. Very easy to do, just unscrew the small screws on the side of motor and start pulling it apart. If you don't it'll come apart and destroy your motor.

Is that because the bearing is junk or that the motor wears through bearings and you should have a lot of them?

The motor bearing in the back of the motor is the same size but different and capable of high temps from the internal motor. This would be a short time fix but you eventually want to get the bearing made for extreme heat and RPM's.

Is that because the bearing is junk or that the motor wears through bearings and you should have a lot of them?

The bearings are great, what makes them wear faster is the dust that gets in them from the front of the can threads that are not being used. If you are bashing on a dusty track it has been suggested to put a piece of tape over the holes to block dust, if not dusty, leave it open for air to circulate through the internal of the motor.

**cough cough** Losi motor, enough said **cough cough** :thumbsup:

:thumbsup:***fart fart*** Losi motor real good, Losi ESC not always dependable but more than Tekin for me, Mamba Max = ? Ask Marti, Swinster, Andy (Muddy) Waters, they have the most experience using them, have heard both good and bad ***fart fart***:thumbsup:

what size spur/pinion do you run in sc10 17.5 class typically?

The delay on posting must be from the hip replacement. Hope your recovery is going well.

P.S. I here vitamin d and calcium is good for healthly bones.
