  2. I have to agree with AJ, the bullet is damn near impossible to control on 3s with a 4200KV motor(been there done that, got the t-shirt and broken parts lol), and when it goes wrong it goes wrong big time. It like putting a Porche engine in a reliant robin the main issue with the bullet is its short wheelbase, your best bet is to turn the traction control (punch) all the way up on the mmp, and when at full speed DONT touch the steering

  4. If the pinion say MOD then a number, they are metric pinions. If the pinion say DP after a number, they are imperial pinions. For metric, higher number = stronger. For imperial, lower number = stonger. You can't mix and match pinions to spur gears, or they'll wear out. Pretty much every 1/8th buggy is MOD-1. MOD-1 pinions aren't stronger than 32DP but they'll last longer because you're using the same pitch as the spur gear.

  6. Option #1 is probably the easiest way. Problem is though, if for some reason you get your servo's into a bind and pulls more current than the BEC can supply your Rx will brown out, or loose connection with the Tx. The other thing is, if you have a high voltage servo and you Rx only works up to 6v that means that your lovely expensive servo is working no where near it's potential and the potential you've paid for as your Rx supply is restricting it to only 6v. In these cases the best method to connect the BEC is straight to the servo, bypassing the Rx altogether. Option #2 To clarify you have 3 wires coming from your servo, the colours vary but for the sake of simplicity we will use the wire colours shown in the above diagram. Yellow = Signal wire Red = + wire Black = - wire The signal to operate the servo still needs to come from the Rx, so this wire still needs to connect to the Rx. For the - and + wires though we will wire straight from the BEC. Again rather than cutting up Esc and servo wires i would strongly advise to buy a short servo Y-harness. Just like the Esc, for some BEC's like the Castle Creation ones, to program the BEC you will NEED all 3 wires from the BEC to connect the Castlelink to. So i would highly recommend leaving the BEC harness alone and cutting up the Y-harness. You want 1 wire to the Rx (yellow in this case) 2 wires from the BEC (red and black) All 3 wires congregating into the servo input, like below. Personally i much prefer option #2 as it frees up the Esc to supply power to the Rx, so unless your Esc burns out you know you have Rx power. Plus even if the Esc does burn out, you know you still have steering. Cheers Mark

  7. I agree entirely! Then an ARTR with a choice will be favourable?

  8. the man has been off his rocker for ages.remember we let out a dying bomber as he had cancer or did we receive a big backhander somewhere and now were going to smash the country up.who is going to pay for the reconstruction.its Libya's problem let them deal with it we have 2 other wars we are fighting remember at the cost of 1 billion a month and in the meantime our services are being cut jobs are being lost and all were worried about is a dust bowl with a bunch of rag tag rebels who thought they could take on the nutter and win.

  9. ansmann macnum i got was shocking the kit build every thing was wobbly more screw threads pulled just by looking at the car broke more wishbones and t plates n i want even pushing it! my t4 i got when i sold the macnum was awesome broke a wishbone but thats cause i court a curb a full pelt. back to the point why get a 1/10th when they want a 1/8th?why not point out a 1/8th car for them that is as good value for money and better?

  11. Hi they are not to bad for the money and do go very well.i've not had too many problems with my one and the bits i have broke was down to me doing silly big jumps and using it for very hard bashing most people that have not had one think they are weak or no good because it is not a fancy make like hpi or traxxas etc etc, the spares are dirt cheap on ebay so for me its been a great buggy so far
