Any conversions out yet for the JQ car? Seriosly thought about pre-ordering one and making it electric. The battery tray wouldn't be a problem, but dunno if there's another car's motor/diff mount...

I've never seen a fan fail or break blades off from 'debris' getting into the fan. It's always been the case design that lets them fail. I fixed my RX8 cases and have not lost a fan or blade yet on...

The fans aren't the problem, the CASES are! At least, Tekin's case is. I don't see many fans breaking off blades on the MMM speedos.

I love my Hyperion 4S 5500 mAh 35C lipo in my 1/8th. I charge it at 10 amps every week, and it takes all of 20 min or so to top it off after a race. The battery is rated for 5C charge rate, but...

I only got to run half a battery with my Tekin RX8 system last week, but I immediately noticed that the motor brakes worked better. With the MMM, getting on the brakes would make the rear tires on...

Try shimming both bearings first, but also consider buying some flanged bearings with the same inside and outside diameters. IIRC, Losi uses flanged bearings on their center diff, but the size might...

There probably is an easy way to seal it, if the backplate isn't machined to do it. I should hopefully be getting my replacement motor tomorrow and will check it out. Also, I suspect that, under...

You should NOT be running a 1512/1.5D on 5S. That's a high kv motor to start with, and it's too fast on 4S. But it's your money you're burning up, so keep the motor temp below 200 deg F.

I'm thinking that getting enough electric 1/8th's at a track for it's own class is a better idea. :) Who wants to run with the noisy smokers anyway?
