That's right. More mature people would call that car a Bfor. ;)

Same :lol: Good job with your build Vito.

look at my pic of the esc wires to motor . it to short how to make them longer my lhs dose not like to heat up the bord on the esc.

you guys are lucky i dont have kids

that just means more money to spend on hobbies.

this is whats in the car esc is a novak gbt2 lp with 8.5 motor rx is a sr 300. tires are panther slicks clay front and rear. slipper is a avid 81 kit. hexs allround. pack is a 30c 5000 mh 2s.

How do you think the wires got attached to the board in the first place? ;)

Everyone replaces wires from the board, get a good iron that can get over 700dg with a good tip (not a pencil style), tin the iron and touch the solder joint and it should release very quickly. If you have to leave the iron on it for a more than a few seconds, stop, let it cool, then try again.

Starting to do some experimenting with foams. Are Open Cells still the go to foam for bumpy tracks? Also when do you call the track bumpy? Our track is hard packed clay with some small maybe 1-2" rutting sporadically throughout. The link to our track is in my signature.

will the panther sliks do ok in the street and last long?

just use the aluminum ball stud washers. I forget my exact setup but I think it was like 1 2mm blue washer and 1 .030 silver and that took out all the slop. I'll try to remember to look for you tonight and snap a pic of it.

I only use closed cell in the rear but I'm switching back to open cell fronts. Closed cell fronts make my car steer like it's got an eight foot plow on it.

That's been my experience to. I run opens in the front and I usually trim the inner and outer edges a little bit.

Thanks guys. I meant rear. I did not like CC foams up front at all. I appreciate the responses.

Does that equate to a lot of steering or little steering. Honest question. I don't know how a plow drives. :eek:

Hideeho
Last layout I tried open cell stock vs proline v2 vs aka red. All were in green dd's mounted on rulux wheels. Neither of the closed cells worked at all. I tested them back to back on the same day with a full pack each. The stock open cell worked MUCH better. That said our current lay out is MUCH softer with rounded bumps rather than sharp edges. The current lay out is much bumpier but the bumps are more rounded, so it might be worth testing again. Let me know how it goes.
