PraetoR Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Stunning work Jason, but it's a shame you're going to be using this as a shelf queen, especially since it should now go, turn and jump better than every other LunchBox out there!

jason3249 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) how do you break in the motor? Sounds good mate... PM me about your method of breaking the motor in will you... not seen this before. Thanks, Nige all you do is pop the motor in a cup of water i do mine for 20 mins can do longer the water will go black as you all no thats a good thing turn the controller up not to much just so you can see the water circulating/current the water is a coolent so it keeps it cool as you no....... it brakes in the brushes alot better on the motor b4 you start to rag it or use it... and the motor willl last longer....... i use old radio gear and esc just in case but not had a problem yet been doing it for years or you can wire a AA batt to the motor and do it that way my way is just easier.......

preppeller Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) I've always wondered how effective your front bracing is... real strut braces have solid ends/fixing points as it prevents warping, but you have the plastic ball eye type things on the end which would allow movement. Wouldn't it be better to have solid fixings? Edited November 22, 2012 by preppeller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
