I'm getting real good at changing control arms and caster blocks. Last night I found out my biggest problem is a servo not centering properly all of the time. No make that my second biggest problem, the biggest is still my driving ability!

I tryed mine Friday as a TC4 for the first time. Besides not finishing any qualifiers without breaking, my lap times were not as fast as they were with the TC3. Might have been a waste of money!

Hey guys... Tech question here on Ni-Mh packs.

If you take care of them really well, about how many cycles do you get from them before noticing a definite performance degredation?

http://www.rctech.net/forum/showthre...6&page=1&pp=30 heres a decent for any of you guys hunting an xray fk05....400 for a fk 05 and a clean 04 model....or 250 for just the 05 WJ...i think it would depend on the driver. someone whos really on top of things could notice it prolly in a couple months of decent use but even then i dont think i would call it a definate drop in performance,maybe just a lil flatness compared to the fresh rip they had, i have never had the best packs....when 1.17s were hot i had 1.14s, i never had a big problem, but thats me someone else could have more a real answer, IMO there is not reason you couldnt get a season out of them if you take care of them correctly ...more if your not stuck on voltage

To be honesy you did. I had a FT TC4 and it was much slower than my now Pro 4. If you go to the TC4 thread you will see others with the same corner speed problem that I was having. The car feels stable. It does not like to make quick transitions.
