mgtlover100 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 (edited) You spent £468 on batteries!? You should of became a member before you ordered them Edit: the orion carbon batteries are only expensive because they have been over coated with carbon fibre which only adds to the looks, why did you buy such expensive may i ask? anyway i'm glad you are impressed with them although you should be for that price Edited December 22, 2010 by mgtlover100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I know I said this in a PM to you but it's still good for other people viewing the forums too It's a limitation of how punchy the start is. 10% is not very limiting, 100% is very limiting. If you floor it with 100%, it won't accelerate very fast. However if you have it at 10%, the truck will give most of its power straight away If you have punch control disabled, you are in full control of the throttle, no limitations. So yes, it's just like traction control in a car Hope this clears it up As for your NiMh's, try to shift them on the forum or eBay, as E-Revo brushed owners would have em Edited December 23, 2010 by revorocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingting44 Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) yeah they are a well snug fit! i had to take the battery clip holder thing off and the rubber stop on the other end and they fit in so snuggly now aww bless lmao well i am not very happy right now, just got back with 4 ripped to shred tyres!!!!!! o.O i dont get it i had the punch control set to 100% as to take some of the strain off the tyres but they have still got ripped to shreds i was driving on verrry flat tarmac lol oh well i think the only way is to practice with my trigger control as punch is set to max lol these batteries are INSANE! Also i am on castle link software 1.24 beta which it has been on that since i got it from the shop? there are 3 more newer software updates but i am so wary of updating as i have been reading some horror stories of people updating and then it just stop working :-( i would love to update and if anyone else has with out any problems could u let me know so i can update (i am on 1.24 BETA version at the mo which it came like that from factory setting) edit, just checking over her and my wing mount is snapped also :-( lol i love it Edited December 23, 2010 by Tingting44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revorocks Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 (edited) I updated my Castle link software and the firmware on the ESC with no problems. Be sure to tape the new tires when you get them Any ideas on what tires you want? Edited December 24, 2010 by revorocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) hey revorocks so what software are u on now? i might brave it!!!! o.O (do u get many more tuning options?) well revorock i was going to get some more off road tyres but where my mate has got a on road car and we race quite a lot i am going to get some on road tyres, here are the tyres and wheels i am looking at, but they come pre glued so i wont be able to tape them :-( it looks like u wont get much blooning with these tyres as they are way thinner, have a look and let me know what you think. http://www.modelspor...roduct_id=25469 here is the utube video of them in action, ahhh i have fallen in love with the bodyshell also just cant find one anywhere to buy :-( Edited December 26, 2010 by Tingting44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingting44 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) hey granby, yeah i only ordered the pre glued ones where i have never glued a tyre before do u think i should brave it or just order the pre glued ones? is it much cheaper if u get them seperately? edit: how do u rate them tyres on road then buddy Edited December 26, 2010 by Tingting44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingting44 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) yeah im gonna go with the pre glued ones this time as the tyres by them self are out of stock any way lol, next time i will brave it o.O sweeeet they just look totally SICK! me and my friend race in a empty car park, lovely lighting for at night and pure flat terrain very long also these tyres look totally perfect when i was down there with my off road tyres i had trouble keeping the front end down, i am thinking these tyres will help that out, but also i was thinking would it help if i adjusted the front shocks (the bit where u can turn on the red shocks) maybe to lower a bit? edit, that one in the vid i posted looks well low! and the acceleration looks sweet!!! my throttle curve is still default, it looks so scary to change it lol Edited December 26, 2010 by Tingting44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 i have now updated to the 1.30v BETA software, i just completed the torque test, kinda wish i didnt now as i had to release my motor as the pinon needs to be at full for 3 seconds, and before the distance between the pinon and spur was absolutely sweeeet, even more than the factory, and now i just cant seem to get it back to that sweet spot, it just dont sound as nice as before when they are moving any one have any reviews on the new added feature of the power torque setting, i have just set it to 1.0 with a punch of 100%, and now u can limit top speed, i might even put that to like 80% as i dont want to be buying tyres each week at a cost of nearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
