vimto2000 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Following on from that...Looking at these Lipos: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-5000mah-2s-30c-lipo-pack-xt-90.html Only available in the global store. Has anyone ordered anything from the Global? Are you getting hit with customs? As, if I get the extra charges...I might as well spend a bit more and get it from MS or the likes.

Iain .R Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Well out this afternoon with my carnage and other car and I was on top of a mountain here in wales on a rugby pitch (yea yea that's all in wales rugby pitches an sheep ) Next to the pitch was an playground so after 5 mins I'm mobbed by kids (6 or 7 boys ) asking to have a go of the carnage so no sorry guys too fast for you . It does 100mph Oooh that's fast ok I cant drive that fast .. So on the carpark next the pitch now doing wheelys .skids . Flips/crashes mmm . Then time.for jumps so there i hump of earth between the carpark and pitch so I use that . So drives up on to the pitch now these kids are yappying shouting and running about so I'm trying to watch them and the car . Next thing there going it's going after the car . So I'm looking around what thinking theres a dog coming so what ever way it's coming I'm going the opposite then this bloody big bird swoops down and goes back up again about 3 ft away from the top of the carnage . Then flys around in a circle while the carnage is lagging it back to me . I dont know what bird it was but it was about 2 to 3 times the size if the ftx carnage and had 4 or more feathers sticking out each wing tip . .then it flew off . The the carnage battey died so if it was a dog I'd have less than 2mins run time it been a goner. So dont know what bird it was kestrel falcon .eagle what ever it was it was big. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe @Jens has a 4000. Regardless of which you (he) goes for, 3s on the carnage isn't recommended by me. Don't get me wrong, its beyond fun, but it'll be short lived. the drivetrain, even if upgraded, will likely fail if you don't smash it to pieces first hurtling out of control into a tree! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there is a way to change the original blue esc from nimh to lipo but rather me use trail and error does anyone know exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
