Popular Post .AJ. Posted January 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2017 Picked this up earlier Got a few parts to fit...... First job is sort out antispark and solder up a cap pack on the ESC, I've got 2 to chose from Battery packs wise, I've got a pair of Flourean 35c 3s 5500mah and Nano 5000mah 65-130c 4s to start with, I'll be looking to get some higher mah matching 3 and 4s packs, so I can run 7s pretty soon tho... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 FYI; if you haven't ordered any already you'll definitely need better tyres than those, they're absolutely awful lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, planning on getting the PCSC Slipper clutch and a TR quick diff case pretty soon as well, I've also got a set of IRC clipless hinge pins on the way p, I hate C clips! http://www.innovative-rc.com/hing-pins-full-10pins-p-658.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Must admit, I'm not a fan of C clips either, although mine seem to be behaving at the moment... I know I've jinxed myself now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just to use onroad, they were cheap so I don't mind burning them out quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) I'd use the castle cap pack, being smaller, easier to strap down. I've had good results with the slipper BUT it chews through the ally spacers (and needs shimming differently than the instructions). HPI say it shouldn't be used with the flux, but they keep releasing the Savage with new shells, so balls to 'em! 17/57 gearing is fine for 7s, three teeth higher than HPI suggest (see above, lol) 68ohm resistors.....Where did that rating come from? 2w 10ohm was, I thought, sufficient....

.AJ. Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 I got the size of resistor from Bez's guide, he said anything between 47-100ohm would do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Ah, that guide..... What wattage have you chosen? I must replace the one on our lasses 5B this year, the 7s crack never gets easier to deal with, even after three years!
