Hey guys,

Do you think this case would be big enough to charge (2) 4S 5500mah Reedy Lipo's at once? I'm about to order this stuff from tower, but I want to make sure I have the proper size lipo case...

Thanks.
Frank

I ran my RC8B-E for the first time this past weekend, besides a couple runs up and down my road to make sure everything worked. It was @ the PNB. I started out with everyone's favorite, the RX8/1900 combo and a 19 tooth pinion. After 3 laps of practice I was forced to switch over to my backup MMM/2200 combo. The Tekin just could not handle all of my belly slap landings I guess. It was smooth before it quit working. The MMM I have is the older version, V2.99, and the motor has a ton of run time on it. The metal seal on the front bearing was actually loose inside the top of the rotor inside the motor when I took it apart to clock the front part of the case. I cleaned the bearing, lubed it with oil, and put some AE black grease on it for a make shift seal. I re-installed the metal bearing seal (that was broken) and turned the bearing around so the front housing held the seal in. It lasted through practice and all 3 rounds of qualifying. I ended up qualified 9th in the A-main, but had to leave before they got around to the 36th, and the 41st mains. Not bad for the 1st time out I think.
My E-car was hooked up much better than my nitro. I was running the stock setup suspension wise, with 30wt front oil, 25wt rear oil, 10 hole pistons, and blue Jammin springs all the way around. Everything else was per the setup sheet. I was getting 15 minutes during practice on the PNB track with my Turnigy 4500mah 4s packs. They would take 4480 mah back into them after the 3.2v cutoff kicked in. After the 10 minutes quals. they were @ 3.88v per cell and took 3000-3100mah to reach full charge.
I will be trying the new M2C shock pistons soon. I have heard that they actually make a significant difference.

That is an interesting bag. A good step from the traditional lipo bag.

That LiPo sack (box?) is very interesting. Who carries it? I'm having a hard time finding someplace that has it.

Sarinexia, I have one of the Woodworks bags you were looking at. It's the one that's divided into 4 sections:

I'll sell it fairly cheap, if you're interested. It's too large for what I need.

I find that I use this bag the most:

Just wait, one of your orders will sit for two weeks.
