I paid by mail and they are not responding to any of my calls or emails. did u have the same problemyo... i just realized.... they are AWAY at some races i think... it took like a week or so... they are a company.. they go out and race and drum up business from all of the big races they attend... u need to be really patient....

-Tone

i understand that they said they would be out until the 14th but i just want to know when my motor is coming and if they recieved the money.

Craft, I just found the stock dvds that came with the kit I installed the dog bones from the getgo also found rear swaybar kit and installed jr 270 std. servo ill never use it so i put it in the car someone could always use a servo.tic tic.

what orion motor is it. Is it a revolution?

No, Its one of those 2r factory wound motors,I ran it once and it has very good power. I won the motor as a door prize in a race in ohio.

Wayne any chance you could run t-maxx off-road and 1/8 scale (if others show up) early I have to leave bye 2:00 for a family gathering.I'd like to stay for the bbq but can't.
Thanks Dennis

Hello Guys...

I was wondering what time the race starts on sunday and when they end. I am trying to coordinate my family visits.

I also have a question regarding battery charging:

I am currently running a T-maxx, RC10GT, and soon to be Ofna 9.5. I used to use the standard disposable four AA batteries. I recently upgraded and I have 2 1100mah and 1 1400mah 5 cell receiver batteries. I only have one overnight wall charger and Now I have three batteries. It takes three nights to charge all the packs for a only one day of running. I have bought a coupler to be able to use my Novak millennium charger to charge the packs.

My question is how would I set the charge settings to quick charge the
packs. I would appreciate the rate for both types of packs, quick charge
rate (~20 minutes), medium charge rate (~2hours), Long charge rate
(~8hours) :confused: , and the equation you used to be able to make your calculations. :cool:

Thank you for your help and input :)

Well... i do not know the Millenium Pro.... but you should charge them at:
for the 1100's - for regular charging, do it a 1/2 the pack capacity (ie: .55 amp) - for quicker charging: there is no safe way to charge them any qucker than 1 amp... @ 1 amp, it should take 1.1hours.. the safest way to make sure they dont die on you, is to "peak" them after a few runs, and if you dont use it for a while, remove the battery from the switch (that prevents negative wire rot) and charge it before you run it (maybe the night before).
for the 1400's - same deal goes... the max amperage is 1 amp, therefore it would take 1.4 hours if the battery were completely drained. for standard charging.... .7amp (POINT SEVEN) is the deal....

just remember to keep it charged... thats all...

hope this helps....

ok i got all of the money i will be there at the race the only thing i need u to do is hold on to it for like a couple hours i wont be there till 2:30 i am leaving right from work to go right to the race..... if it rains on sunday i can probably get a ride or meet u somewhere with the money :thumbsup: man i love my life right now

Dennis, I should be able to move the classes around. Just check with me sunday AM to be sure I did'nt forget.

Rob, we are starting at 12:00 this sunday. Then from here on out it will be 11:00. I hope Tone got you going on charging your rec. packs. Basically stick with 3/4 or 1 amp and you will be fine.

Tone, I will bring the genny with me so the rest of your crew does'nt go off the deep end. Only some people have to leave early. Everyone else can stay as long as they like. This might be a good day to mess with your TMAXX if you want to bring it along.

Hope that answers all the questions, if not post them and I will try to accomodate as many as I can.........WAYNE

Thanks a bunch, Wayne! nice thought on the Tmaxx, but i gotta go to see Pops afterwards, they're expecting me by 4 or so.... i think i nailed the problem w/ it tho... the low speed needle is too lean, i think.... gonna open it up about 1/8th of a turn! the acceleration has been crap, so i think that that is the problem, the fact that i put on a better breathing air filter and a better breathing pipe made the factory setting too lean...
You and Chris better be ready w/ your mini-t's..... i just re-re-did mine... installed the sway bar and everything. tranny is as good as new! i had 3 blown bearings in the tranny.... and 1 too many shims on the top shaft (i shimmed it to keep it from being sloppy, and i over-did it). the only thing i need to decide on is what motor to run..... i cleaned both my Beast and my Raider and made them like-new again.... i had to do some "special dremeling" to my front bumper so that it wouldnt interfere with the front arms - they were locking in-place because it was not correctly manufactured.... i think the next thing i gotta do is rebuild them shox... i wonder where my shock oil is....
i cant believe it is 3:15 in the morning!!! i gotta go to bed.....

Thanks Wayne . Anyone going to the track today I'll be there around 9:00 this morning.

I will talk with my father and I will try to be there sunday, but it is a maybe...But, I have already scheduled in all the other race days, so hopefully I won't miss any others :thumbsup:

THanks wayne for the info on the start times.

rustler spec should be moved down to 2 mins since the batts never last
