just bought it used on this site and when i got it didnt work.

thought it might be the battery so changed that still not working.
everytime i wiggled the wires to the motor it would jumpo (work ) but stop again. also noticed when i unpasked it the motor smells burnt not to good of a sign. somethings wrong with this set-up.

so after disconnecting the motor a few times i noticed that the terminal for the motor (yellow) on the esc was a little lose. had to be a bad soldiering job. figure i had to get inside the esc to look closer at it. before i pulled it apart i plug the wire back in one more time. this time the terminal came out on the end of the connector. opened it and it had to be the problem. resoldiered it and put back together. works in forward but no reverse. tried all three program for the esc and nothing is working to get the reverse to work again.

just wondering if it would be the motor or is the esc switch from forward to reverse probaly bad.

has this happened to any body else beside me.

taken with my cell so not the best quality!

Hey guys, I searched a few pages back and couldnt find an answer. I am using a hyperion 0606i and charging packs with jst-xh and align/e-flite balance connectors. Where can I find the adapter to balance these packs with this charger? Thanks for any help...

Hello all,

I am getting back into rc, and I got my good old M8 out. Issue is the battery doesnt seem to be holding charge. The battery in it is a
Sanwa S8N-7D NiCd 9.6v 700mAh.
Currently just using a small "plug into wall" charger but I think that is doing more damage then good.

I was thinking about connecting it to my battery charger and doing a few charger/discharge cycles through it.

So my question is, what amp should I charge it at??
and what amp should I discharge at??
What voltage should I discharge to??

Its been a while so I am a little rusty......
Thanks for your help.

Hey guys need a little help on some charger issues....

Im looking to get a new charger to charge my Lipo's. I have been looking at the Turnigy chargers they seem to have the capability of the higher end chargers at a decent price. I will be charging mostly 2s lipos for my 1/10 offroads. Im not looking to have to buy the charger and then a balancer and then a power supply i would like to find one that comes with atleast a deans lead and a balancer and have no issue with buying a power supply if need be.
Im not really on a budget but dont want to spend 200+ either, I will be charging Yeah Racing packs anywhere from a 4000 up to 6000. If you guys can try and lead me in the right direction i would appreciate it, and it can be any style charger i just have been looking at the turnigys.

Thanks
Mike

Looking for user reviews of Tx Radios.

Please don't hold back. This is for a user that desires good feel, A.B.S. and low weight on left wrist, which was shattered in a accident.

Found myself staring at the M11x and drooling. Need user thoughts before dropping that kind'a cash. This is for racing electrics... maybe moving into 1/8 scale off-road in spring.

Best A.B.S.???

Synthesized vs. Spektrum?????????????????

A) Futaba
B) KO
C) JR Z-1
D) Airtronics - M11 or M11x
E) Spektrum - DX3s or DX3r
F) ETC.

Thanks in advanced for your advice and insight.

is there any problem that will occur if i shorten my esc wire? its an spx..

was wondering if anyone have a copy of the tamiya TEU-104BK ESC instruction that they can scan in for me? Trying to look for the instructions on it.

where can i get one?

I have an Airtronic MX3FG, which is an FHSS-2 system.

I'm looking to buy more receivers, and I only need 2 channels since I'm doing 1/10th car.

Will the FHSS-2 receivers that comes with the MX-Sport work with the MX-3?

They're both FHSS-2 so I'm guessing yes, but does anyone out there know for sure?

I have 2 hyperion 606i chargers, one is newer and seems to have a different firmware version that allows for a few more options in the lipo mode like lipo store mode. I have the USB adapter cable and I was wondering if anyone has updated their firmware online? Any tips or what site did you do the update from?

Heres the page I found to do the update>>> http://media.hyperion.hk/dn/pc/eosfw.htm

Thanks. :D

Just got it and got it out of the box hooked it up to the power supply and nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem??

The new lipo's that are going to be released soon have a charge rating of 2C and 3C. Who makes a charger that will charge that high? Battery technology is evolving fast, but the charger technology isnt. The new life cells are even higher rates. Might as well go down to the autozone and buy a 50 amp charger for those :lol:

So has anybody heard from the manufacturers of new chargers coming out or do we need to yell in a loud voice to them..Get me a new charger!!

What is everybody's thoughts..

Is there an advantage to one power supply or the other if both are available?

I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this radio.
