Hi Guys, Im looking to come up to your track but Ive got a question.... Is anyone still running NIMH batteries or are you all running LIPO? I know you guys run longer than 5 min mains so I dont know if my batteries will make it or not.

Thanks

Dylan Saturno

Some still run nimh. You really shouldn't have a problem making run time. We run 6minute qualifiers and 8 minutes for the main. The track doesn't require a lot of motor (most run 10.5bl) so runtime really shouldn't be an issue with any newer cell.

My Pro-match 4200mah always charged up to 4700-5000 & ran 11 - 12 mins in my 2wd Truck with a 10.5BL system & 8 - 9.1/2 mins in my 4wd buggy with a 8.5BL. A Brushless system runs much more efficient too then a Brushed system, no?

With these I'm sure you wont have a problem! Team Orion 5300MAh SHO cells.

Mark,

Mike and I had a great time at the shop today. We were both very impressed with what you have done. Mike's boys had fun and can't wait to get their trucks and run the track. We are both looking forward to racing with everyone.

Thanks again for the hookup with my new RB5.

See you next week for the rest of the parts.

Thanks Tony! How is your truck running anyway? Need more steering? More rear traction?

Mark,

Did the servo and rounders that I ordered come in? I'll be down on Saturday to get them. What time will you be getting to the store on Sat?
