      aye for the most safest you cannot go wrong with Nihm or nicad. but they do not produce that kick like a lithium product can.

      you find a lot of the scaler-crawler guys like to run nimh's because of the weight they carry. and a lipo just adds more power where its not really wanted.

      The 900mah NiMH is going in my sons mini as I don't want him messing with lipos.Wells he's only 3 so I won't let him charge the NiMH either

  4. Just ordered a 3250 mah 2s.I take it I charge it at 3.2amps?

      a stock VXL slash can sell for under £200  But a fully hopped up ultimate can still go for £200.

      It's more down to whoever wants to buy it, rather than the truck itself, it's the same with anything, you see mega hopped up Bajas fetching peanuts, then a stock ones goes up and people go crazy for it at the same sort of money.

      Silly really, but it's good for bargains.

      It's also down to the buyer I would rather buy a clean little used standard model than a "hopped up" one. 

  7. "flux like a pro:savage xs 3s"vid on youtube makes this little truck look crazy fast:)

  8. 20/54 gearing in an e revo with a leopard 2000kv motor and 4s.Does that sound a good starting point?

    1. Carlton

      Carlton

      im running 17/40 on 4s with an xerun 2000kv motor and it runs sweet.

      no good for 6s but then i am happy with the speed this has on 4s.

  9. After getting all red countersunk washers and fuel tube and red nuts i have now decided i need to buy them again but in orange to match my new beadlock wheels.

  10. All the RPM parts for my e maxx build i bought in blue but as i slowly build it i am dyeing them all black:p

    1. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      Good job I can't see the fascination with blue plastics apart from rpm jumping out of them lol. Black looks much nicer.

    2. martin34

      martin34

      I mite keep a couple of blue bits like the bulk braces and the toe link ends

    3. Oh How Original

      Oh How Original

      I planned on getting all the orange bits on my Baja anodized in black, but it actually doesn't look all that bad when it's very minimal colour, just engine braces, hinge pin braces and shock parts... Quite surprised me.

  11. Am i rite in thinking that if i spray my shell yellow i need to back it with white?

      As its going on a nitro I don't need any special backing paint?

    3. Nitroholic

      Nitroholic

      Acrlic car paint works well enough. You can use 'prope' backing paint....but yo don't have to. Acrylic car paints won;t stick to Lexan...so use proper polcarb sprays for your paintjob...but acrylicx will stick to the polycarb paint layer OK. I use Halfords white primer as a backing :)

    4. martin34

      martin34

      Thanks again guys.So I will get a Tamiya yellow and use normal white spray for backing

  12. Anyone play MX vs ATV Alive?If so is it any good and worth buying?

    1. Dan Garf

      Dan Garf

      I know the first mx vs atv was good and online is mint aswell

  13. Bigger spur means more acceleration and less top speed?

    4. norcoforever

      norcoforever

      smaller pinions give much larger jumps in speed and temperatures though

    1. mydoddy69

      mydoddy69

      No it goes a wired sort of purple .. white will go red or any colour but anything else just dye black

    2. martin34

      martin34

      Thanks mate.i was wondering if it would go purple.I will leave it yellow

  19. Cant make my mind up about what colour RPM arms to get for my e revo.Blue or Black?

    1. MrPug

      MrPug

      White.. then dye them whatever colour you choose :)

    2. martin34

      martin34

      lol I did think of that but they have to be Blue or Black.I don't want to end up with to much Blue but then Black looks stock

    3. Sharkfat78

      Sharkfat78

      Everyone has blue. So I'd go for black purely on that reason alone!

  20. Custom spraying my boys mini micro scooter to match my bike:)

  21. Designing the brackets for my wing mount and support.Very satisfying making things yourself:)

  22. Destroyed my savage xs shell in one little bash:)

  23. Do I charge a 1600mah NiMH at 1.6amps?

    1. capri-boy

      capri-boy

      You can yh, though I tend to do two lots of this rate then a slower trickle. Just monitor to make sure it doesn't get too hot - nimh should be warm when finished but not hot.

  24. Does anyone know of any red wheel nuts that fit Hyper 7 hubs?
