HEY--

Is anybody running the new Novak Ballistic spec motors in their 1/12 rides? I've always run the Novak SS's and have gotten pretty good at modifying and lowering the solder tabs on the motors so they don't interfere with the bodies.

The tabs on the Ballistic motors look a LOT less maleable than the ones on the SS's...anybody done this yet?

Thanks,

Scottrik

Scott, we have been running the 7.5 in the oval cars, so not sure how they fit in the 1/12 scale. If you don't get an reply's let me know and I'll have the chance to check it out on Friday for our first oval race on the new carpet.

I've run the Ballistic in my CRC GenX. I don't clip or bend the tabs at all. I've set the motor in the car with the tabs forward. That way wires are low and in front of the motor giving good enough flex in the rear suspension without binding it.

Hi Scott, I have been using a Novak Ballistic, maybe for a few extra points I would let you look at it tomorrow, seems to fit well under Parma 8 body. looking forward to racin with you all. Chuck

How much run time doyou get from the 5000 1S lipo on 13,5 brushless motor?

Franko, for a 8 minute race with a few warm up laps I typically put back in about 2600 to 2800 mah which should equal almost 15 minutes of run time.

I think my lipo is dead....I'm only getting 240 sec at 20 amp discharge..

I have never tried discharging but if you are dumping during a race with a 13.5 you are definitely having issues. The only time I have dumped was running mod.

What is the tire brand of choice for 12th scale? I'm thinking about running this winter after a 7 year break. Back then it was mostly Jaco purple and grey's, whats changed if anytihng? I will most likely be running the new crc car in stock lipo.

Thanks.

mostly jaco and parma. they now have the same foams and also the same wheels, just choice of black or white wheels.

Receiver pack wiring Q. When you connect the rx pack to the rx do you remove the positive rx wire coming from the esc or does the rx work fine with the lower lipo voltage coming from the esc and the higher voltage coming from the rx pack plugged in to the bat connector?

I believe that depends on ESC. If you run Tekin, no. We just run them with the power switch from the ESC off. I did the same for LRPs, but don't run them anymore.

I am about to run lipo. My set up is LRP SXX w/5.5. What is this booster I need? Where can I get this or is there other ways to increase voltage for receiver and servo when running lipo? Thanks

Tamiya blue?!?

ASSO R5 BLUE!
