atom3624 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Several long stories of my soldering woes which came good, so won't repeat! HobbyKing 90C ROAR 5Ah 4S Graphene batteries charged up. One was at 15.0V the other 15.3V. Latter stormed around to 16.8V, the first one obviously a little more - both reached 16.80C no problem, then ... a little video - similar to last week's 6S one. I inserted a piece of plastic bag under the retaining brace as the cables are plug-in - better safe ... VIDEO - Brief but Violent enough!! I think the difference is obvious, and the power HUGE!

johninderby Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 So you like the batteries then?. I've been using some graphene batteries in a little 1/24 and they do make a difference. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 In fairness, there are a couple of things: Very short run time. Relatively too small area. Last week's blast was using batteries I regard very highly anyway - Nanotech 65-130C's Having said that, I think the difference was obvious! They seem great - no problems. ONLY JUST fit in the X-Maxx tray, but nice!! Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly In My Soup Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm liking the xmax bud, looks like it's got limitless power!! I also like the fact your not using a wheelie bar! Shame about your choice of football shirt though....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I think I'd get banned by the Park Keeper immediately!! Tempted, but there's a match on now, F1 later ... I'll have a think about it (I wasn't going to post a video at all originally then look what happened!) Agreed, I'm keen to see how fast it'll go - my guess is VERY!! Al.

That said, there's 0.1V between the 2 batteries after 2 hours - 16.01 / 16.00 V. I think that's a good sign. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Cleaned my F1 after yesterday's fun. In all the excitement I forgot to look at the results to see where I came overall, but I suspect it was 3rd again. Not bad going for the oldest car in the field, and the only one on NiMH power!

billyb_imp Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Cleaned up the blitz and the Carisma M40DT, then found an unopened Tamiya M-05 mini, bought this a couple of years ago, Margaret my wife wanted it, I wanted the Blitz so of course she had to have it, I just have never got round to building it. Having just ordered the M-05 Pro 2R I think I had better build it before I start on the new one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Me & our little sod beat the crap out of our bad bug & nitro circus mmt on the beach at hafan y mor beach. Theres some narural jumps off the rocks . Lost 2 body pins & maybe buggered a diff in mini mayhems mmt. Pretty good seeing as the abuse they got. Got back to the flat, popped the rx"s out & showered em down & they run fine. Except the grinding noise from the mmt :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bieomax Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 designed a new rear upper arm for the pirate 10, as a little low speed run around the back garden at the weekend highlighted a weak repair from a previous owner and that coupled with me having to run 84/80 mm rear dogbones meant the threaded part only had about 5mm in the main arm body.So spent 15 mins on designspark mechanical and have come up with a chunky alternative.This covers the standard part size, but considering extending the wheel end of the arm by 5mm to give the threaded turn buckle part more support.Hopefully will get test print sorted this week.Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Yesterday I fitted the 3500kv Radient Reaktor can to BLBB. Then gave it a quick bash to test it. I think I now have BLBB set up in exactly the way I want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Nothing much. I increased the preload on the X-Maxx shocks - seemed to handle OK to be honest, but firmed up a little. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novamadcars Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 All I done today is put my tamiya fighter buggy rx back up in the loft as I did have it on eBay but had to many people offering me silly money for it. oh well it can stay in the loft for another few years.

XV Pilot Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Drove it around at work with a leaflet dispenser attached to the rear wing, helping to advertise a RC-related fundraiser for Children in Need that a colleague is organising. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
