In preparation for the Saturday races, is it the norm to charge all batteries the day before the race or charge them right before racing? I have 4 batts total. Also I do not have a discharge tray so do you guys recommend using the 10amp setting for discharging using my ICE charger?

ShaunMac

What batteries do you have?

For best performance - charge right before you run. There will be plenty of time inbetween heats to charge batteries.

Discharging - Usually 30 amps is the norm. 35 amps in some cases. 10 amps will be okay, but you will probably want to get a separate discharger that will discharge at a higher rate. Being a separate unit will keep your ICE free to be charging your next race pack. The higher rate will yield better performance from your batteries.

You're more than welcome to come by and use my EQ-Tray and discharger before you start charging. I'll be using my LiPO pack all day.

I'll be there! I cant wait to see how the TC5 does in a race. I just hope I can keep it off the "boards" Maybe the Mini will stay on its wheels this time too... Should be a fun race for sure. Cya guys there! oh, and Kumpol, what FD ratio did you say would be good? 39 / 124 will put me at 6.36. Will that be ok for stock? If so, I will need to buy one when I get there.

oh, Chad, I got you covered for the knuckles

I am thinking going LiPO as well just for less hassle. Keep my Nimh for races they won't let me use the LiPO.

Did you have to mod the Cyclone to get the LiPO in it?

Are you running Brushed or BL? If its cool enough less than 5:1 is the ticket on the BL systems. For brushed I have no idea.

I saw a couple of guys run down in the 4.4:1 area at a night race at PT. It was nuts.

OK cool thanks i can race my mini again. Also tell your bro I have his motor for him that day so he can run stock also

Cant afford brushless as of yet.. so I'll be rockin brushed for a while. at least until I can buy a GTB or XBR. I Assume Sportsman is the Novice class like it was last race? if so, I know I will be running

Rfury

iTrader: (6)

Well then give it all the gear she can handle. Just don't over heat it, but you already knew that.

I do run BL. I would be running about a 5:1 or a 5.1:1.

currently, at 39/100 I have an FDR of 5.0 I know that will COOK the motor... and I have no idea why I bought that combo lol... not sure what the FDR is on it right now with 48p gearing.. 29/87 is what it is right now. seemed fine in test runs, but my ESC isn't performing right. I contacted Novak and they said to send it in, but it would cost me to do so... I asked if there was a way to upgrade to a GTB, but they said no... it was worth a try...

Are you still using CS27's? I've been noticing that they are breaking down rather quickly and forming grooves.

Hope to see everyone Saturday.
