Gregg,

I had a NICE going list on a word doc. of stuff I wanted to grab. I've completed the list with the exception of the following:

Charger (I really like yours & can't remember the site)
Power Supply (Again, I know this goes with the charger)

Lipo's (It's the 68.00 ones everyone is waiting on)


And that's all I'm missing. I know it's all in this thread SOMEWHERE lol... but I figured just as well to ask you as it will probably take ya 2 seconds to post the sites.

Totally appreciate it, thanks.


PS - I also had a nice link to motor maintenence on the TEKIN, and a couple of other cool things I totally lost. Bah...

I have three of these, and they're great. Actually have 3 2S 40C batteries coming for my TC6 as well.

It's okay. I know you're lazy and don't want to look.

Exactly what Billy said. And Billy can vouch for the fast shipping.

Sucks that you couldn't run today Gregg!! I'm really jones'n to run mine. I just have too much other crap going on. Looking forward to running the RC8Be and the TC6!

EPBuddy did indeed ship fast! If/when I need another charger or PS, I'll definitely buy from EPBuddy.

Also Hobby Partz shipped quickly as well, but it sucks that the 4S Gens Ace is out of stock.

Happens only on landing. I would lose throttle and steering, then I'd run over and find the switch is turned off.

Thanks for the links again Billy.

That charger is pretty nice. I totally want it. You guys saying shipping is quick is just a bonus to boot!

Really, the packs and the charger is all I have left to do.

Why would you think it has more options. Here is a pic of my truggy (buggy is being built) and I have the V3 kit and use the AE motor mount. I can gear as much as I want. I have 2 truggies both with this same setup and now just built a buggy with a V3 kit and will again use the AE motor mount. You can even use the Grid or the Elite RC mount. I like the thicker chassis and able to have mechanic brakes and the weight bias is a ton better. Pics of the buggy soon to come.........

I use the Icharger 208b which is 20 amps at 350 watts and a the P350 power supply. If your thinking about getting one go here. David owns it and he has the best customer service ever.

I actually chose the 106b for my son to take to the track with him as he only charges 4s at most been using The Chargery/Cell Pro for a few years no complaints but hear good things on iChargers!!

interesting, am I missing something? your motor's behind your servo, is this the same as your buggy?


here's a couple pics. I'm in the middle of a re-build so it's terribly dirty.
