I'll try not to hijack this thread here...

I know a bunch of you guys are running various Hobbywing products in your cars, which I really appreciate. But, a couple guys have come up to me saying they have trouble or are confused with updating either their program boxes or their speed controls.

So, I will be bringing my laptop to Smac from now on. Anyone that does not have the LCD card or simply wants to update their software just ask and I'll be happy to do it for you, and explain how. I really believe everyone should have the most up to date software so you can have more fun with your stuff. If you have questions pm me or find me on FB so we don't clutter up this thread.

*There is new software for the following: SCT-PRO, XR150a (the big box esc), and the V3.1/V3.1 spec*

Double check with Baum, but I think it should be about a 22 or 23 tooth pinion.

I would just upgrade your b5m, i dont think that the 3-gear transmission will suit our track well. The 3-gear is for higher bite tracks. Not saying it wont work but just putting the lite parts on your b5m or buy a new B5m.
Rod may have something to say on this as well.

I want to take a minute to thank a couple of our "young guns" for helping our practice night guys.

Carter, Zach and Brad have really helped a lot of guys out in the last few weeks and its much appreciated.

Carter-Those kinds of posts are awesome! These guys who have bought products you are sponsored by need you. That's exactly what this thread is for.

Zach-I heard what you did for the guy with the new four wheeler Tuesday. Wow. Keep it up. Told you we need a Kyosho guy

Thank you guys for being professional. Our track needs it.

Thanks for the kind words Rod. By the look on the guys face after Zach fixed his 4w, looks like you guys have gained another driver every week

If anyones got a Xray 808 or a Losi SCTE, come find me Tuesday. I've got a skid plate for the buggy and blue aluminum pivot balls for the truck if anyone wants them!
