wow i had no idea danny couldnt post. i just thought business was booming and he was busy. :weird: but i was thinking about getting a 17.5 ro run in touring car. im not lucky enough to have any good stock style off road here. everything is open mod.

checked out the other forum. sucks, that place is a ghost town .

Yea not a fan of the other site at all...but maybe that's just because it's all plane guys?

I'd be interested in knowing KV ratings of the motors, if possible. Mostly interested in the 8-6.5 motors. Thx :)

I just wanted to say thanks to SMC for the fast shipment of my new shorty pack for my new buggy. THANKS

Does he have any motors for 1/8 scale?

I do not believe so and if he doesn't I have some great 6 pole 1/8th motors on sale...

i have a question for you battery gods. We are looking at a lipo right now that spark every time it plug into the car. now i checked mine no spark at all. but on his one pack he get a spark every time from the positive side. these will happen in 4 cars his one then my 3 cars. now i have the same lipo also but i never get a spark. i charged it on my charger and balance it. still did the same thing. Is this a bad thing and if so what is the cause. i already changed the deans connection on the lipo. and still a no go.

Do you run switches on your kits and he doesn't?

I wouldn't worry about it anyway as it's just making a connection, once you get very close to touching the current will jump the very small gap between the plugs to make the connection, this is what the spark is...

yes we both run switches actually. Yes it charges fine and everything just never seen it before. but i was thinking it was good to go to he was just a little worried. then it got me thinking lol.

Mine does the same thing its fine.:)

sounds like its because the caps are pulling current. they are prolly out of the loop of the switch ? same thing as hooking up a car amp, they will spark when you put in the power wires because the caps are dead. if you un plug the battery and plug it back in does it still do it? if what im saying is the case and the caps still have some charge then it most likely wouldn't spark.

I did not think of it like that all. Good answer and seem to be the right one I would say. He is just gonna use it be been using it for Month now never had any harm to the gear. I Guess this e class will teach you something new after awhile.

as I was reading it it reminded me exactly what car amps do.. only for me its on a lot bigger scale. imagine that spark with about 5000 farads :-)

Yes I can imagine it been years since I played with car amps. I'm just all about speed now.
