I think i'm gonna run the 2s lipo for the track...... The 3s was for $#IT's and giggles:lol:

I ran the stock 18r tires sauced with jack the gripper, and stuck most of the race.(stock speedo and motor) So even with the mini missles, should be one helluva time.:nod::nod:

Kerr- I wish my F1 had open wheels! I don't know how to attach pictures, otherwise i would,(computer illiterate:() but mine has a two seat cockpit and closed wheels.

Someone told me if you run a 3cell battery w/ a really mild brushless like the 5700 that this was the way to go. Makes it run linear like a brushed so that there is no esc cogging. I know 2 cell w/ brushless drives really funky for me which is why I'm trying brushed this weekend.

The brushless setup that i am using is one of the first mamba's to hit the shelves....I haven't really had a cogging issue with this one.( From 2s up to 4s) The second mamba system i got, which was about a year ago, that sucker won't run without a major cog first.

The guys at castle creations say you need to put another cap parallel to the one on the ESC, and supposedly buh-bye cog. (still have yet to try it)

I'll bring the lower Kv motor to try it out.


Is it me?!?!? Or is this sunday not coming fast enough!!!!!

I really wanted to come out today. But I tweeked my back again turn marshalling at the Saturday Series last night. I couldn't hardly get out of bed. :mad:

Rcbasher06 08-12-2007 05:03 PM

Thanks for coming out guys it was a great turnout. The next race will be the 26th of August.

MikeR 08-12-2007 11:47 PM

Today was a blast. Turn out indeed was pretty good. Good to see all of the 18R's out in force:nod:
Hope to be there in 2 weeks!

martin salgado 08-13-2007 11:17 AM

Had a good time yesterday. i didnt think running the 18r's would be such a blast.

Mike thanks for the offer of running the hotter motor. I bet your glad i didnt take you up on that offer. Stock 18r is way fun hope to see more out there next time.
