Yup,the end is threaded on all the way. I just put the shocks back together, so I can't get a picture now.

i use Novak GTX speed control (which is i believe this ESC is water proof), i put it in the back inside rear chassis with no protection, and i put my rx inside a mini plastic box above rear chassis.
all my electronics just fine untill now... ;)

It's just the nature of the MINI beast...The front/hood of the body sits on the front shock tower - that's as low as it can go...and you can still fit a barbies head in that wheel well gap...Ha, ha, ha...It's cool man - just pop your shocks off and take a picture of it slammed - then pop them back on and run that thing until the tires split at the seams... :D

i dont think the gtx is waterproof

but its not like you'd be running your mini underwater :sweat:

Hey guys I though the Tamiya Super Slick 63s are 60 millimeter in size but wanted to make sure before ordering some. Is that right or are they only 55 millimeter.
Thanks

novak its not water proof...its will shut doen if it get wet, will work again when dried. i tried it....

never the less the best esc i have use....

and its on my mini now, the only set back is its not lipo protected...(lipo cut off.)

There is only one brushed esc that iknow that has a cutoff which is a Tekin

You still need to keep the normal black thick tubing in the shock and that stays the normal length as per the manual.

The piece of clear tubing and black o-ring on the shock shaft will then run inside the black rubber tubing and this will keep the damping, make sure to the grease it up.

And it should reduce the length of the overall shock by about 5mm.

hopefully this helps clear it up, unless it didn't need clearing up in which case just ignore it :smile:

tp

Lee,

Need not worry should u use that esc for next weekend's race. For the 5 min heat, it wont reach the COV even on 3200 LiPo running on Tamiya Sport Tuned. But be very extra careful on ur timing for the mains... i normally pit after 15 min on a 3200. 4000 should add a bit more runtime :sneaky:

see ya at the race. it should be a blast....!

I am going to get paint today for the Mini. I will post pictures later.

any last minute race tips?????

don worry i am using novak lipo stop..on my mini....better safe than sorry:D

edwintklee,

Just go out, enjoy yourself and drive the tyres off your mini. :nod::nod:

Make sure that you be smooth and have your radio setup correctly.

Later

Calvin.
