  1. Thanks for sharing, I just watched his other videos and found a road 5 miles from me, hopefully the local councils won't build houses on it like everywhere else.
  2. Thanks, I am finding it difficult to find the RPM, modelsport have one in blue but I'd prefer black. The tbone is $10 but the want $16 to ship it.
  3. Hi All I've been reading this thread for a while but can't find a definitive list of upgrades for a Firestorm Flux 10t, I have one thats stock at the moment but would like to upgrade before spring, does anyone have a list like the OP did for the original Firestorm? I also saw some put a Hobbywing max10 in one, is that worth it, or another motor upgrade? Thanks Karl
  4. I dont think my charger has the capability to check cells individually, it shows the total voltage when charging but I can't see anywhere to check the individual cells. It's a Hobbyking eco eight.
  5. Thanks, I've always been an advocate of more power, sometimes it doesn't work but its fun trying
  6. I am looking at the "Hobbywing Max 8 combo", it looks right to me and can handle 6s. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-ezrun-max8-with-2200kv-motor-combo-no-connector/rc-car-products/397267 Would this be a good fit?
  7. They are completely discharged, I put a fan on them to accomplish this. Thanks for your help.
  8. Thanks I'll check the cell voltages, is that the only issue or would being discharged for 4 years cause any detrememt? The other batteries are soaking in heavily salted water now.
  9. Hi All I have 4 x Lipo batteries of varying types that when I put all my rc stuff away I didn't do a storage charge. 3 of the batteries are hard case and 1 soft, the soft case battery has very slight ballooning. All 4 batteries were discharged by use on a car. They've been sat there for at least 3-4 years. I've already thrown 8 batteries, 3 hard case that errored when charging and 5 soft that had ballooning. Should I throw them all and buy new? Is it worth the risk for £80-100. Thanks
  10. Hi All Sorry to bring this back up again but I sold this motor and ESC from this car as I was too unwell to go out and use it, I've done this twice now, I've got another conversion kit but need to get a motor and ESC again. The last ones I bought were "hobbywing Xerun combo, 2200kv sensored (4274), 150a esc and LCD programmer" should I go down that road again or find something cheaper? I was reading a conversion post from a few years ago and it was mentioned to get a fake Castle 2200kv off ebay, are these still OK? I am determined to get this done and used this time. Thanks

    Palmers gone after this race then, Sainz will replace him and Gasly will replace Sainz, Kyvat will be back and it's a lifeline for him if you ask me. Love Suzuka, a fast starting RB could mix things up at the start, they have nothing to lose but Ham and Vet do.

    Pierre Gasly to replace Kvyat for the next 2 races to evaluate his performance as a replacement to Sainz next season, Kvyat is expected to be back in the USA and to be resigned next season. http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12471/11054057/pierre-gasly-replaces-daniil-kvyat-at-toro-rosso-for-next-races I think Kvyat has received a lifeline with this Renault deal, I expected him to be out.

    I like Vettel when he's doing well and relaxed he's a funny guy but when under pressure he's his own worst enemy. Ferrari have not come out well from the weekend, first they tell all the media they are not allowed to interview any memebr of the team thats not official and then put out a tweet basically blaming verstappen for the crash when everyone else thinks it's Vettel.

    The dominoes have started to fall, Sainz has signed for Renault as part of the deal. The rest should be announced before or at Singapore. That's Palmer out of Renault, hulkenburg has a contract for next year, I don't see Palmer getting a drive next year, Toro Rosso will bring in one of their junior drivers to replace Sainz. Rumours are Kvyat was out at the end of the season, not sure if this will change things.

    It was sort of a procession, Ricciardo was awesome again though. This penalty system for engine needs to change, nearly half the grid had penalties and the way they were applied not even people in the sport knew where some drivers would start on the day. Also, looks like McLaren will be with Renault next year and Honda will service Toro Rosso. Not sure how much of an improvement that will be for McLaren, I do think Renault will get their act together before Honda so it should be a smart move with Mercedes and Ferrari refusing to supply them.
