Not to be a negative nancy, but many users here have done everything that BK is now using over the past two years.

Your boy George Cherry always poo-pooed the ideas, saying they were a bad idea because the Team Drivers already had it figured out, and what was needed was more practice.

Is it irony, shame, or just a case of DERP that he's quiet now? Because he did everything he could to quash any development anyone non team was trying to do, not because it was a bad idea, but because he needed a "Brand Name".

I wish somebody would give us a bottom shot of BKs chassis so we could see how/where he was taping the batteries in.

Gearge is probably right that we wouldn't need anything like in our area, tracks are pretty small and traction is already great with zero to little weight. I believe BK will probably only run the truck like that out doors. I added 30g to the front of mine just to check it out and so far feels good.

There's no possible way the fan can pull enough current to kill four minutes of run time. Also, your reduced run time + decreased temps can only mean one thing:

There's something wrong with your battery or your charger.

Start watching and taking notes on how many MHA the pack is taking on the charge cycle. When I was charging at 20 amps, the batteries would take 50% less charge and hit the lipo cutoff in the speed control. I thought my pack was rooked but I switched back to 8 amps and everything was fine again.

You realize that picture I posted with the dual shorties is of BK at the Shortcourse Showdown race this weekend - indoors at RC excitement in MA, right?

:rolleyes:

John Walentia victory at the SC Show Down proves I have been telling you guys straight ...;)

Oh you know what I set the cut off to 3.2v on my rx8 is was 3.0v. Say what you want but the orion fan is way overkill. These are my chargers so I'd say im good there. Lol.

I don't play bro!

That power supply is dialed ......:cool:

Im only charging the reedy 5200 60c's at 5.2 amps even though it takes forever.

George' You going to race at four seasons today? I'm not going to yet but will very soon. I need more wheel time on this truck but so far I'm really happy with it.

sweet what outdoor loose track did they race on? What high end losi drivers did he beat? Phend?

No !!!!!

Your "boy"(jk) is heading to TRCR
We are doing Sc Saturday ....


OMW right now ...

Come on up ....You will have mass time to practice & shoot the breeze .
Racing starts @ 7 pm ...

My sc10 4x4 is currently 2712 grams thats 5.978 pounds aready to run. Thats with all the aluminum hubs, steering rack, exotek shock parts and 30g of jconcepts weights. The most I would go is 30g more for the ken block themed bodies I run. Nobody is wrong if somthing wirks for them.

You should look at the charger and check how many MHA the battery takes every time. If it usually takes, say 4200 MHA and all of a sudden only takes 3500 MHA and you lose 4 minutes of runtime....something's up.

It's the esc fan the batteries are brand new and charging to full capacity, charging at 5.2amps. All I'm saying is that running back to back fan/no fan there is a noticable difference in run time and punch when the battery gets below say 40% Have you ran the orion r10 pro fan before? Its the most powerful fan I've ever seen on any esc, including sxx tc, mmp, rx8, mamba monster etc...don't make me pull the fan and measure the current draw to prove my point. Lol.

Look at this video of the fan, that thing is ridiculous.
