I cut and drill before I paint as well, I really don't understand the convention of painting first.

Re: CAPACITY FREEZ?

That would be terrible. Why stop the advance of technology?

The local clubs should put a cap on the batteries allowed, but not the manufacters.

Re: Re: Re: Re: New Tamiya Motors

I thought the convention was that if your motor was too hot, the thing to do is to raise the gear ratio, or "shift down (in car terms)". I can understand running at constant high rpm generating...

How free is your drivetrain?

With the pinion off and the wheels on, I gave the spur gear a firm push... and it barely rotated half a revolution.:o
