Mel Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 finally got round to ordering up the motor a couple of weeks ago and got home today to find a parcel on the kitchen side Opened it up to find my nice new Wraith 7k and Quark 33a esc . now just to solder it up lol, this could get messy because i haven't got a clue what im doing so any tips would go down brilliantly lol. oh and i have had to buy new wheels and tyres as well after the alloy ones bent out of shape on their first outing lol, plus there's the new reciever i got off monstrous in there Heres some pics my Mate Russ got before i had the Motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 nice mel quark dont give you conectors :S thats quite tight, try to keep wires short less voltage drop and keeps it neat to. You now where i am if you need nay help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 cheers mate yeah the motor came with connectors for the esc but none for the battery, what do you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 deans or corally are best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13SMD Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Not seen this thread before, is this right? £55 for a "copy" mini inferno and you can hop it up with genuine parts? Seems too good to be true when there £129 at modelsport. Whats the catch?? BTW Looks good Mel, in fact its making me want one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 no catch lol, i knew i was going to hop it up so i thought what is the point in spending all that money if im gonna replace everything lol. i think someone told me that the steering servo on the proper mini inferno was either soldered straight to the esc or for some reason didn't fit in a normal receiver but this one was fine just plugged straight in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X13SMD Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Would it be too much to ask if you could pop a video on the forum when its finished? £55 is easy to hide from the wife and the hop ups can come in dribs and draps!! Sounds like a plan.. *Evil Grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 lol deffinatly mate here's a link to one http://www.rcmodelimports.co.uk/com/produc...roducts_id=2028 i will see if i can find the vid that it was on and i will get a vid of it if i get it going (notice the if lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 lol yeah you should have seen my attempts before at soldering some wires for my charger, it wasn't pretty lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockers Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) hi mel, i see you got the wraith bl motor, what is it like have you got round to using it ? im looking for a new brushless motor for my mini inferno and was looking at the wraith , what sort of speed do you think your getting from it? also what battery are you using with it ? i got a intellect 1400 9.6 batt also are you going to be getting a new rear wing and mount ? if so fancy selling your standered one if its the same as a mini infernos one ? your nano looks pretty darn good, you think it might be a bit heavier then before ? i.e all the ally parts?

Mel Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 First of all thanks mate Haven't got round to using it yet because im a complete novice at leccy rc's so im still setting it up (That's why i left the Motor and esc till last lol) but Sean reckoned it was a good one to go for so i brought it not sure about speed so i will have to let you know when i get it going but i would like to stick lipo in it. Battery wise though i have got the same as you in it at the mo. Im getting the rear wing mount soon hopefully but i can't seem to find a 3 racing one anywhere and i don't want the GPM one so i will probably buy the proper Kyosho blue one and de-anodise it. The wing mount that came on the nano is different from the inferno so she is wingless until i can sort out the mount lol. It doesn't seem much heavier but i wanted something to bling up because all my other rc's are bashers but i will bet i will still jump this one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley b4 123 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 remeber to heat shrink up those connectors lol That look ace though with the wratih in that will fly it makes my mini lst fly and tht is so much bigger and heavier than the nano so that thing should fair shift. And you have 8 cells i had 6. A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 Thanks mate yeah i was gonna do that last night but i couldn't find the hair dryer lol. Can you use a hair dryer? not sure if it is gonna be hot enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy1135 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I tried using a hair dryer, it'd have taken me days it just wasn't hot enough so i got a lighter and held it so the flame wasn't touching (a bit away so it doesn't burn.... ). Did it alot quicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt B Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I use a lighter, as a hairdryer takes too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
