I wonder what voltage the receiver can outlet Quoting from the Ebay posting: This unit can be fitted to any rc car which runs on 11.1v (3 cell lipo) , it will ideally be soldered to the power connector on the esc with a simple switch if required. The light will automatically switch off at around 10.8v to prevent any unnecessary drain on the lipo battery. Dimensions - 145mm x 15mm x 4mm A good understanding of Rc cars and soldering skills are required. (not plug and play) It's not 'Plug and play', but needs to be powered by 3S LiPo and cuts out at 10.8V. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 You could run it from a small, compact 3s lipo fitted with an LVC buzzer.....plenty of room to strap the pack onto the chassis.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the same with my Juggernaut - into a 2S, but same principle. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Whatever lights you opt for, there will be some modding to be done to fit them to the bumper..... The Summit runs multiple LEDs so the RX is capable of powering some directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Only 30 on 6S!? Could that be the firmware update that's slowed the car down? Definitely bin the stock ESC and fit something "fit for purpose"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Was that actually topping out though? It didn't look like there was enough space for it to reach top speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 (edited) I get the impression watching some of the vids that the "updated" ESCs aren't all set the same. Some definately look quicker. Of course different batteries do make a diff but......... John Edited February 6, 2016 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG15 Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 He was only using 4000mah batteries. (Not sure what discharge rating) I'm sure mine does more than 30mph, it certainly feels like it. The truck does seem way under geared. I guess it had to be with the temps they wer getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Only one way to know, strap your phone to it and GPS the bugger The feeling of speed is relative, hard numbers confirm all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean-vrs Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 30-35 has always been standard if he had more space I do think you would see a 2-3mph increase, and a lot of our American cousins reckon a 18t pinion makes the drive a lot better without making the temps to high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
