Hi Rlau99, thanks for the info bout the battery. So if i wana buy one for my rc car i should get a higher mAh and also higher C. But can i use it with stock motor or i need to upgrade it to compensate with such power? Also i serach that LiPo battery are in the rage now for rc cars, so do you guys have any recommendation?

i guess its better to get aftermarket charger as it will cut down on charging time thus more playing time. Thanks again...Cheers.

Hi all i was wondering what happens to your electronics when they get wet?

Thanks.

first it will spoil and if you are lucky, they will still work, just that might have to change it real soon

will it just stop cause i ran my car on wet ground yesterday and charged it and then it went for like 2 minutes then it was like it had not been charged?

did you clean it immediately after it hit the waters?
if you do, it might save the electronics

i'm not very sure about your car's condition but i guess if its performing abnormally, i think its busted

Batteries with higher mAh & C rating is like having high grade fuel but you will need a good engine (ESC & Motor) to maximize its potentials.

For most stock ESC & motor (mostly brushless type) Nimh batt should be good enough. High mAh will give you longer run time.

Most upgrades are brushless system, high mAh & C batt will be needed to maximize the brushless power (high speed).

There are lots of Lipo batt in the market now, depending on your budget & application (bash or race) you will then decide which grade of lipo is more suitable.

hello , i'm new to RC and got a question on the gear things. i got a TT01D and was just wondering what is the best combi for the spur gear and pinion? i read through the forum and they recommend 58t/23t and 55t/25t?

hi, need advice from pro here.
whats the diff between lipo and nimah batts?
Is there charger good for both? -- Prolux digipeak, 1-14 cell
Whats the pricing like for new and used?

Lipo last you longer than nimh batteries, and lipo are slighty harder to maintain, T-15 plus will allow ue to charge both lipo and nimh

thanks bro, taking tat into consideration, how abt the above charger model( Prolux digipeak??

that one cannot charge lipo

hi all fellow Singaporeans,

Considered noob here since the last time I touched RC cars was like 16 yrs back. I've totally lost track of RC news and tech but recently, I have been trying to get my 7yr old son on RC car as he really loves cars.

I have done some research but I'm still at a lost regarding entry level EP road cars.

I'm considering the following choices:

Tamiya TT01
HPI E10
Kyosho Faser/Pureten series
Kyosho Mini-Z AWD
HPI Micro RS4

In terms of hop ups/aftermarket mods, which models here have the most "support" locally? I only know 1 shop for each of the brands above, Tamiya (Stargek), Kyosho (Toykar) and HPI (Tai Sing). Are there other shops too?

I've a preference for either mini-Z and HPI micro RS4 due to the size and hence the possibility of playing indoors but the build is unlike the 1/10 series that works more like real cars, which would be a learning ground for my kid.

TT-01 will be considered the better one as the hop-up and replacement parts are easily avaliable. local hobby shop that sell many parts would be at orchard plaza level 2, swan model land and trading.

hi guys I'm from Brunei. Wondering is there a GS racing dealer in Singapore? I'll be there for a week or so. Thanks!

Thanks! I'm surprised that Tamiya is still the better choice as back in my time, the craze was for the HPIs'.
