It's better to ask wht you're looking at. ESC with programming capabilities might give u more tuning options though.

bearings work in most cars, not only drifting. Bearings give the car a smooth transmission when compared to bushings in certain car. Just replace the bushings with bearings. You may wish to indicate what car u're talking abt.

A gear ratio is a gear ratio regardless of the relative size of the pinion/spur,, do u get the same effect if they create the same ratio?? Im curious if a smaller pinion is still easier and quicker to turn over than a larger pinion.

I ask because i was using 78/28, and now im moving to 87/32 which are fairly close to each other.

After my own math or science, I see their is more load on the motor with bigger gearing of the same ratio. Am i wrong or right?

N/m my math was wrong

I've messed around with all my settings on my ESC except "throttle curve" and "brake curve". So my question's are, what are they exactly for and how do you go about making adjustments for better proformance?

Hey guys.
Does anybody know any places that stock associated b44 parts. If there isn't one is there just a general associated store that stocks the buggy spring and shock oil?
Apreciate it!

How low you mean...? You based on usage time from your device (i.e. Transmitter... or...?)

I believed your wall charger doesn't have the ampere readings, so it will be hard for you to determine the actual ampere was charged to the batteries...

A typical 2100mAh rechargeable battery could re-charge to only about 1800mah or so, it will not fully charge at the stipulated capacity that claimed after a few charges or even at all.

Same goes with your 2300... May be it will only charge up to only 2000 or less...

Try to 'cycle' your battery a few times; charge and discharge them (use them to power whatever you're using if your charger don't have the discharge ability...).

after charging over-nite,
I try it on my digital camera but immediate it show me " low batt ".
Now I try to charge and charge again so if it will have power to light up my digital camera.
Or its time to buy new batt.

I see... It's for powering up your digital camera...

Try charging them 2 ~ 3 times repeatedly, that's the so-call 'procedure' when you have left your batteries 'dead' for quite some time, that's also apply to brand new batteries sometimes...

But your battery desk-charger should have the auto-peak function right...?

Do the repeated charge, if still cannot, then toss them...

Good, it's better to use a RC battery charger.

Use 0.8~1.0amp.
