I kinda wish they offered a new waterfall with a fan mount....oh well.
I just noticed that the car has the plastic rack. lol. Also, they put a locknut on the rear hub's ballstud. See they did learn from their mistakes.

j/k. It honestly wasn't far off from the newer short stack based motors.
Oh, and that motor has the least amount of run time of any of my motors. Maybe 20 packs through it.The battery game is FAR FAR FAR more important than the motor game at the moment in spec racing. I can see 10%-15% increase in performance when I am running my batteries the special secret sauce way.... motor of the month? 1-2%.

You guys talking about internal resistance of batteries should really take note that charging your batteries all the way full is the best way to increase internal resistance of the batteries during normal use. If you use the "FAST charge" or similar early cutoff systems that cut you off at around 4.16, you're battery will last a heck of a lot longer. Everyone's charger is slightly different, and none are perfect. The "x battery brand" internal resistance results are probably pretty skewed by people's charging practices and chargers.

And that doesn't touch on the "other stuff" an Icharger can do to gain performance.

Did they change the bearings? new inserts and/or spindles?

Temp of the pack while cycling... Let's just say it wasn't close to ambient temp.
I like stock class racing but the lengths needed to go to at the upper level are ridiculous.

Ya I mean I had SMC 4600's before and the Reedys dont feel that much different but idk anyways so the Orions are no good huh? Also while I really want the Trinity Revtech 100c batterys I refuse to pay that much and they're 5mm bullets thats just too big of a pain to switch from 4mm to 5mm especially when i have 4mm packs I would like to use for practice. So what would be the closest battery to the Trinity with 4mm bullets and a decent price?

So really the only thing special on that car for us guys that have a built up b5m already is the chassis that's factory milled out. I wonder how much it will be
01-29-2015, 12:13 PM
The chassis and the HD rear axles are what I'm interested in. Hopefully the axles are stronger and the chassis is a little flexier. They even updated the set-up sheet.

same axles. alot of the info on the new car is copied from the old car. even says bigger front bearings but they are the same. if you look closley, the rear axles are the exact same. i guess they are just saying beefier compared to the b4

Basically you are discharging the pack at at least 20amps and then immediately charging it at say...40 amps. The discharge cycle puts heat into the pack and the 40amp charge charges the pack quick while keeping the heat in. The heat lowers the internal resistance of the pack which enables it to flow the "juice" much easier.
