I'm using a pack so far and it works great but I see no real advantage to it over a booster.

Thanks RobK. We'll see how the chassis goes.

The Pro Mod guys are all running receiver packs because they are getting the batteries all the way down. The stock guys are a mix depending on personal perferrence. The few extra Mah's used by a booster don't matter in stock where we use less than half the capacity of the main pack.

Perfect, thanks for the replies. So its Novak and TQ for the booster, who makes the popular RX packs?

I use the unity tool tweak station. Easy to set up and convenient to use. http://www.www.unitytool.com/tweakbo...tructions.html

Can anyone share what the percentage of 17.5 & 13.5 cars at the IIRC Vegas race ran 1c vs. Nimh cells? Just curious if everybody has switched to 1c yet or not.

Steve,

There is the smallest chance that I might be .00001 wrong but I think this IIC was setup to be Lipo only in all classes, all scales.

Steve

All Lipo at IIC. Naoto Matsukura dumped in one of his 1/12 Mod qualifiers. If anyone got pics of how swollen the pack was, you should post them here or the IIC thread.

iic was 1s lipo only for the pan cars.

I can answer that question seeing how Brian allowed me to help test it at the end of our carpet season with him. It works very well and is as tunable as you would expect it to be. We were testing his prototype car against another big name brand car in its latest spec. We would race both cars against each other, then we would switch cars for the next round. Only Brian wrenched on them, that way we could keep different ideas as to how to tune them out of the equation. We could run very similar laptimes and actually his car was slightly favored by both of us. I believe Dave Erlich ran the car in its latest form and put it in the 13.5 main.

On a separate note Brian also did the link steering thing you mentioned. He did it at least 2 seasons ago and even had different ackerman inserts to use on it. He went back to standard pan car steering setup. I have known Brian for over 15 years and the stuff he comes up with is :eek: but cool too.

How are you guys attaching your LIPO on a t-Bar car? I run the XII and have just double-sided taped it to the chassis. This is working well, but it obviously does not lend itself to changing batteries out easily. Has anyone tried velcro or some sort of taping method?

Thanks

wow, that thing looks cool. might have to get some pennies together and get one. As far as tweak goes..... am i right in assuming you adjust this by winding in your side springs. my springs on my 12R5 are wound as far back as they go. is this wrong? The car seems very tail happy, but this is the first 1/12th i've ever owned so i dont know if its normal. will go out soon for a day and play around with settings.

thanks
Alex

Dose anyone know which brand 1 cell Lipo was used in Mod cars?

i know that there were both smc and thunderpower in the a main in mod.
