What's a Nihm???
Oh, do you mean those batteries the egyptians used for thier flashlights so they could build the pyramids at night? Go to hobbycity.com get a Zippy 4000mah (not, NOT the 5000! wont fit), hardcase, 2S1P packs for $35. You'll have to put a little notch in the chassis for the wires to come out the side. Otherwise it fits fine. I have 3, no problems yet, stays right along side other exact same trucks running $120 batteries on the straight. |

I did this also. But I also drilled about 3/8 (maybe a bit smaller) holes in the strap near the pivot point. Looks a bit neater than sanding out near the twist knowbs

this one? Those are new!!!!11!! Looks like they'll fit those are the same dimensions as my packs! And the wires come out of the top finally! These are what I've been running: http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=9435 |
Too bad they can't keep them in stock for very long. :(
|
Thay are never in stock, Anyone have any feedback on the FT battery hold down?
|
Umm is that price correct on that Lipo? 19.79!? Gotta be a catch or something!!?
|
They give you discounts as you buy stuff, my price for those packs is 17.19, there is no catch, you are just paying a reasonable price, shipping is a little more but buy in bulk to save, for example, I calculated the cost of 4 packs with shipping and it came to 98.19.
|
Thats exactly what I had planned on doing. gonna buy 5 and just wait for them to restock. If something was to happen to one of the batteries I wouldn't feel no where near as bad to toss it as I would an $80 pack.

Take apart the shocks and add some slime or AE black grease liberally on the o rings and reassemble. This seems to have cured my leaking shocks.

Finally got a few hours to work on the truck this evening.
Finished setting up the RS with a 17.5, tested and put it back together... Not the best solder job. Haven't quite got that part figured out. Some more tweaks and it'll be ready for the track again! |
Are you guys running diff fluid or shock oil in the diff? I put a SC10 gear diff in a dirt oval car and am looking for some tips.
|
i run 5000wt diff oil in my gear diff a bit of a hand full but drifting corners with a little loose slipper makes for a tq in the first round of racing today..
then they watter and i fall back to mid pack as tq is now making 14 laps and i am only making 12/13 i need to dial in the truck a bit more for wight. |
