can you find anything that looks anything like it on the web?

fine then, dont matter, just to let you know i wrote it!

Picture this; you’ve just bought a brand new RTR R/C car! The battery pack is almost ready to come off your charger and into the car. Your sitting there with the controller in your hands, imaging what it will drive like. At last the batteries are ready, so you take them off the charger and place them into the car! WHAT SHOULD YOU DO NEXT? The first thing you should do is read the original instructions! It may not be the highlight of your week, but it will pay off in the future. By reading the instructions you can find out if any things needs doing to the car before and after its fist test drive, you will also discover safety warnings when using your car, which will prevent damage either to YOU or your car! While your batteries are still charging, take this time to perform the once over of your car. Check that all the screws, nuts and bolts are all tighten. You may also need to lock thread the screws into place if you are running a nitro car, as the vibrations of the engine can un-tighten the screws over time! It is also a good idea to check over the tyres of your car, make sure that they are all securely glued to the wheels! Other things you should consider before starting your new RTR is the adjustments of the differential gears and slipper clutch (if this applies) correct. Shock oil and gearing should also be checked, if the gearing is too tight or too lose then the life of your motor and/or your speed controller may not be as good. Finally the last check to perform that I can think of, is make sure all the electronic items in the car is working properly. By putting your car either on a stand or on a book (just something to let the wheels spin free) check that the steering servo is working and the aliment is straight, as well as checking the ESC! Now you’re ready to go, if you need more help with your R/C Model, then there are loads of great R/C sites out there on the World Wide Web, Thanks for reading and I hope this guide has proven to be useful! (Please note I am not responsible for any thing that involves you or your car, this is just a general guide from another R/C racer.)

nice video mate, there was a drift car at my local club last winter and it still beat some of the other racers, -me- any way i am thinking of also making my tt01 into a drifter, looks fun from watching that video, but I'm too far a way from hertfordshire to meet up

to drop down the volts why done you get a splitter and use other units on it while charging? just realised that wount work lol becaus the power input is constant!

thanks for that mate, i would of been looking all day!
