Jimmy, Dan,
How do your cells compare to the ZX racing crew? They have some really really good prices as well...
BTW, I was finally able to run my 1.165s after charging them on my 16x7, and all I can say is HOLY CRAP! I had more punch and speed then I really knew what to do with! I now see how those REALLY fast stock guys get so fast..
A funy story, on my second time around on the new packs, I was at like 50% power! My car was a total dog! I thought something was wrong with the packs, but it turns out I had a broken brush.
I broke a brush in my first heat Saturday, then broke another brush on a new pair in my SECOND heat! How do you guys figure that one?

Make sure you check the gap between the comm. There are some comms in the monster that are one sided so the gap is huge on one side and not the other. If you notice that, wrap it good and clamp down on it and cut the comm to smooth it out. It will sometimes fix that. Or get a new arm installed. Best of luck to you!

Are you back in the states yet? If so, are you going to be at the Toyota race with Dan? I'd like to meet you if you're going to be there.

And how much would you expect to pay for one of those motors...10.99, 11.99... 12.99? No 4 easy payments of 9.99
But doesn't Trinity already do that on their Pro Tuned Motors???
hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I wish I had a Honda. I did have to get a new charger today. Fried my Reedy Pro yesterday. I got the LRP. Only thing the bank roll could handle right now that had the features I want. Only prob is the discharge sucks on it. I can use my Indy for that though.

Jon Kerr, I hope they will be here tomorow!!!!!!
Hopefully they will, then I could build them on tuesday at SoCal, go and practice on Friday, race them on saturday, and then hopefully race them at the Toyota race here in Irvine...
That is a lot of hoping, but I think that it should all work out...

Re: more battery coming, which charger
Originally posted by Jasonchi
Hi, I'm getting 4 more packs coming hopfully by this weekend, I ordered 2 about a month ago and they are the best I've ever used. Question, I'm getting a 2nd charger and deciding between a LRP "Competition" and "Sport" model. All I'm looking for on this 2nd charger is to "Charge" battery, period. I already have discharger etc. So does "Sport" provides everything I needed? I notice the Competition support "Flex" and "linear" mode, do I even care for that?
thanks

jasonchi, you may want to look into a Competition Electronic Pitbull. It only charges but very reliable and works flawlessly. In fact if you order one, get the newer revision one which is upgraded and comes in a black case instead of the blue. They work great as a "Charger charger".
