I was working late on a job today and my bossman (also father-in-law),
came by the job to check on me. He told me he had something for me
to check on out in his truck. I went out and he had bought me a new
XXXT with batteries and a charger. So I finally got a e-truck, totaly
surprised me. My wife didn't even know.

Thanks Chris or Tim for helping him out. I'm going to need some help
from all you electric guys 'cause it's a new learning curve for me! :thumbsup:

See them long days paid off dude. Glad to hear you have a good father in law. help is a phone call away.

Tony

brent,
your welcome and if you have any questions you can email or call us
thanks
chris

Well well Sanders, looks like you will be out and about after all. Thanks BOSS, lol. Now I might get to rub a little paint with ya and have some fun. Just let me know if I can be of any help Sanders.

Michael

Awesome! Another truck. I also will glad to help. I have a Team T4 on the block if anyone is interested. Gonna bring out the Factory T4 in 2 weeks. :devil:

Yea we just have to get Sanders to stop working so much. Sanders you got you a motor yet?

Cool, I didn't know we could use self portraits on here Lake.

Well this one was really of you, thought that I would show it off for ya. Well who ever gets that T4 Electric will be fast, you might have to mess with that set up before you sell it.

Not sure if I can slow it down, it rolls so good!

Lake, don't start hounding me already about a motor, it took me for ever to get
a e-truck!!! LOL. I'm going to run it stock for a while until I learn what's going on.

Saturday Night Thunder

Nascar,Touring,F1's and Transmission on the Crete. The weekend looks great. I'll see ya'll at the track.

Tony

?????

1. What kind of solder should I use?
2. What should be soldered and what should stay quick disconnect?
3. Do I have to discharge batt. every time?
4. The batt. instruction says to dischcarge with a automotive light,
is this a good way?
5. Can I charge batt. when I want, say I don't run it all the way down,
can I top it off or do I have to discharge?
6. When not in use, should batt. be discharged, slightly charged, or
full charge?
7. The wires to the motor seem small to me, can I increase and what
size?
8. Can I solder straight to motor terminals?


Charger I have: Dynamite Vision Peak 2, 1amp/2amp/4amp, & 4 to 7 cell.
Battery: Pro-Match det5000ctf

Thanks, Brent

1. 60/40 flux solder any radio shack
2. personal preference, I solder everthing
3. yes
4. no, get a good tray that takes all the cells to 0v
5. NO, For best performance batteries should peak just before you race! You should always discharge the battery, let it cool to room temp before charging.
6. For stock and 19 turn discharged to 0v then deadshorted, Open mod discharge to .9v per cell and cycle atleast 1 time a week.
7. Neg wire from speed control to motor should be 12 gauge, pos from Battery to motor should be 12 gauge. pos Tap to speed control should be 18 gauge. neg from battery to speed control should be 12 gauge.
8. yes

B.A Sanders. The only kicker is if you choose to dead short batteries.you must do it the rest of there life.And you are in need of a charger.one that will charge at least 6.0 amps. I would consider getting the best,and be done with it or you will be buying 2 or 3 before you find what all you need.I would get one that has motor run in feature. both of these have that.Turbo 35 GFX about $400. Lrp pulsar competition about $170 :wave:

Going to do some test and tune today around 12ish. Concrete is tonight at 5:30. Hope to see everyone there.

Tony

Brett I have a tekin charger that will go up to 9 amps for $45.

Got Juice,

Keep me in mind, I'm going to talk to Chris today. Thanks.

jflack, thanks for the tips.

Slider, I checked into it today. I can't spend the extra money, Chris tried
to help me the best he could (thanks chris), Tony and Phillip also thanks.
I may just run what I got and get used to this new learning curve and then
upgrade. I'm thinking that having a stock motor and speed controler that it
won't be that critical to get everything out of that battery-I just want to
rub some paint and have fun. Don't worry everyone, I'll be posting for some
more help, thanks all.

B.A.Sanders,
With whatever charger you have just be careful with them. If you have a temp gun you can watch to see if they are getting to warm. Usually between 115-140 degrees. Thats the biggest thing with electric, try not to over charge the batteries to much. Later on if you want to upgrade the charger, I like the AC/DC ones. Don't have to spend extra $$$ on power supply.
The average motor looks real good with some great batteries. :thumbsup:

Tommy

Tommy,

Thanks for the tip. I have a temp gun, do you just read the surface temp or
the ends of the battery, or where? I have a Pro-match (matched batt.)
DET5000CTF

B.A Sanders.You can shoot each cell surface temp.

Thanks Slider, how's your leg been feeling?

B.A.Sanders.went to Doc Friday They said i tore some Tissue's under knee cap.So looks like i will be out of commission for awhile.

nice to see you on here jimmy. wanna run jackson? you can use my stuff. i can get chip bonds to bring it to you. pro2 run once. got a 35 your old batts, and m8.

tony who won?

Slider, sorry to hear that, take care, wish you well.

paul, sorry to hear about your knee, hope you get better, Jonathan

We had 5 touring and Shannon Won.
We had 4 F1's and John Won.
We had 4 transmission and Bill Won.

We had some great racing all night long. I saw some of the best passes in my life. We had people running 3 wide in corners and no wrecks. But we did have some bad wrecks(over the wall). also this was the first time on the concrete I just was the pit man and did not race.

Shannon and I only showed up for Nascar. boowoo.
Both tracks next weekend.

Some guys are talking about Sippi Friday night.

Tony

Paul give me a call this week and sorry about your knee dude, get well soon

Tony(pitman)Brothers
