I recently emailed them twice over the past three weeks... no response. I sent the emails to [email protected]

I've ordered in the past but not recently. Maybe they aren't taking...

I can't say this is true for all R/C items (motors, ESCs, batteries...) but Tamiya chassis' are NOT OEM rebadges. This is a clone, a copy, a rip-off, and it's pretty upsetting to see. It does not use...

What does the active brake do? Does it adjust throttle lift engine braking? Not off throttle but partial throttle braking?
I saw it appear in my v222 install then disappear.

I noticed the same problem! I was starting to think that I was hallucinating. "Active braking" seems really useful (something I've been wanting for a long time). My Hotwire install showed it at...

You're right, I fixed my post. I just didn't understand that post. There are two parts, one is an issue of cell chemistry (C-rate), the other is a matter of pack configuration.

What are you talking about? What you're saying doesn't make sense.
Nominal voltage for a lipo cell is 3.7V.
3.7V is one cell
7.4V is two cells in series
14.8V is four cells in series
They all...

Sorry, I was bored, it was just an idea I had, so I made the suggestion. I'm not even racing this year. Have fun!

Yes RLY

Yes, really.

There are seven different classes:
GT1, GT2, GT3, GT4, F1, MINI, SPEC

At 10 minutes per round, that's 70 minutes a cycle.
That means, for a driver to make a run, make a few...

What's the point of controlled practice?

What's the point of controlled practice? It seems like a horribly inefficient use of the track. You'll have periods of absolutely empty track, periods where there's one or two cars on track (often...

GT1 should be open motor like the good old days. I liked that insanity. Cost would probably be the same anyway! To race I'd have to buy a new motor 17.5, a new ESC (probably), and tires for every...

I have a 3PK and I've used the 5-point throttle curve adjustment, setting the throttle to ramp up high on the first point. This seems to help but it still doesn't quite have that direct feeling -...

I'm running a 4wd sedan. If that were the case, I'd lose traction mid-corner upon application of throttle but that does not happen. It's hard to describe, but I've tested a LRP with the same car,...

It is entertaining but it's not real. They would have to add steering servo control and interface with the engine throttle, gearbox, and clutch on the Mclaren. This takes time, testing, debugging -...

Need more punch

Hi guys,

I have a RS Pro, with a Speedpassion 13.5 motor. The speed control seems to lack punch. The first 25% of the throttle is really soft (not dead, just soft), then the motor gains speed. I'm...

I would be careful around lead weights. Some might dismiss it as no big deal, but personally I don't use lead weights and I use lead free solder. If you are to use lead weights, I would wrap tape...
