Skinso Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Alloy shock caps maybe but I would leave the rest as is and upgrade when/if anything breaks. Guy on the tekno fb page has spent twice as much on upgrades and hasn't the truck built yet, pointless if you ask me Edited January 22, 2017 by Skinso 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoud have waited and got a nice Hobbywing XR8 plus 1900kv combo .. I might just wait until next month and get one then and stick this in the spares box but then agian I might just try it lol Whatever happens this will end up sensored at some point Next decision for me is shocks do I upgrade the Pistons and caps or just stay true to the kit ? ?? If there's any kind of warranty with it I'd stay true for now. They've got nothing to whinge about then if you put in any claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now normally a couple of packs is good enough but I have wanted an excuse to try the Gensace 4s hard case packs for while so after seeing these on Amazon with £16 off and free prime delivery I thought why not I only got one for now, I have had the 5000mah 40c in the past and that was pretty good so these should be even better if they are then I might get a couple more What size cables have these got?

Thinking of getting a pair for my Baja Flux They certainly look thick enough (8-10 gauge) but according to the listing they only say 1/10th and 1/8th. They look amazing at the price Doddy paid, but looking again they appear to now be not on Prime, £90 each and have to ship from Germany? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gens-ace-HardCase-Helicopter-Airplane/dp/B01GDQAMA2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1485261219&sr=8-1&keywords=Gens+ace+4s+6750 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I'm in no rush and i would much prefer the Gens Ace tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I use the Gens Ace 5800 4S and 7000 4S (I think both are 70c) hard cases in my DBXL. One pair has 8AWG and the newer pair have 10AWG wires. BTW the Gens Ace distributor is in Germany but last time I got batteries from them they used Fedex, so turned up next day. It when when they were mixing the old and new packaging so I thought I had clones until I spoke to them on the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
