I need some expert help but some how ended up here he he j/k.I just bought the 18r and when you pull the throttle nothing happens for the first half of the trigger then it takes off full speed. Whats wrong? I was hoping to race this car this weekend with the stock electronics but may have to switch it out. Any one ealse have this problem?

warpig · 01-13-2007, 12:33 PM

I bought a used RC18B off of eBay, the owner said it was about a year old but he only used it 6 or 8 times. It has a Reedy mod motor but it didn't seem all that fast to me. I believe he said he installed a 15t pinion, I think he went the wrong way there.

I've been cycling the battery on my ICE charger, 1.2 amp charge and 3.5 amp discharge. The best I've gotten is about 390-400 mAh in the battery with the ICE. I put the wall charger on for about 8.5 hours and that bumped up to 585 mAh. Is there any chance of bringing this battery to life again or should I just use it to terrorize the cats?

HotrodHopkins · 01-14-2007, 05:53 PM

i have the same problem with mine. I've taken the cells apart and put them together with some deans solder and novak battery bars. I seemed to get a little bit more in it, but got really hot doing so. I think these batteries are trash, but i'm gonna mess with them just a little bit more.

ProudSavageOwnr · 01-15-2007, 12:33 AM
