Thanks for the tips guys, I'll need to compensate the up travel with limiters now that I have no boots.
I'm assuming the limiters clip to the shock shaft under the rubber ring??
Also, since upgrading my ESC motor to the RX8 Pro 4 4000kV, I've killed 2 batteries, melted the bullet socket on the positive termianls.
My C ratings are obviously not accurate? Gens Ace 5000mAh 40C & Turnigy Nanotechs.....
Any suggestions of batteries?
Everyone's help is much appreciated.
Yes, use those clip on limiters.
As for the bullet sockets, you need to get rid of the bird cage style male bullets and use the Castle style bullets. They have much less resistance than the bird cage style. The resistance is is causing the melt down.
Any good lipo rated 50C or better should be fine. I would also suggest using at least 70% current limiting in the RX8 to keep things happy. You won't notice any issues with punch out of the hole but your electronics will run cooler and last longer.
