      jake1*2011

      try 18t pinion and check temps, if they are cool then go up a tooth, if hot go down a tooth until it gets cool

      From the UK warehouse? Surely not? Even HongKong orders should have landed by now?? Very poor show, retailers of cheap RC kit to the masses..

    3. Thunderwolf

      Thunderwolf

    4. b19jas

      b19jas

      Every time I have used HK from HK it takes 4-5 weeks for me to get delivery.

      Bit low for an MT, 150 would be better.

    4. b19jas

      b19jas

      I ran a wpsc8 in an Emaxx for a year on 4s with 2350 with no issues. Just needs gearing properly. You will prob have to sacrifice some speed. I was constantly waiting for it to smoke but it never seemed to get flustered, now its going strong in my pede.

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

      Smaller pinion does the same thing

    4. norcoforever

      norcoforever

      smaller pinions give much larger jumps in speed and temperatures though

  13. Its begining to look alot like christmas,everywhere i go

  14. I have just put a heat sink with fan on my motor.It fits with no visible gaps but it will move when bashing.Is it ok to put a dab of heat resistant sealant on it to hold it firm?

    1. J.K

      J.K

      Don't see why not, either that or a zip tie :) 

    2. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      I stuck the fan on the 2028 motor in my old Baja Flux with shoe goo lol

    3. martin34

      martin34

      Lol if shoe goo worked I am sure a little sealant will be ok.Thanks guys

  15. I have just got a program card for my Dynamite fuze 130a esc(comes in the losi scbe)it has instructions for esc with built in bec or without.Does anyone know if this esc has it built in or not?Thanks.

  17. Whats the difference between policarbonate and Acrylic spray?

    1. Thunderwolf

      Thunderwolf

      pollycarbonate is for clear lexan shells, acrilic is for anything solid, like the hardbodies shell for scalers and tamiya models

    2. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      PS paints is kinda rubberised to bend and strech with lexan. Acrilic will crack and fall off.

    3. martin34

      martin34

      Thanks guys:)

  18. 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.

  19. How long can you leave a lipo in storage charge for?

    1. TiM!

      TiM!

      martin34

    3. joe of loath

      joe of loath

      martin34

      They only do the closed end ones unfortunatley.I need open ended ones

  22. Tempted to fit my LST shocks to my Savage flux but dont want to use an IRC kit.Hmmmm

    1. Baja 5b

      Baja 5b

      Why not it's a great kit...?

    2. martin34

      martin34

      Because I have been looking up online and I can fit it with a few stand offs and I can use a turnbuckle to strengthen the shuck tower at the top:)

    3. martin34

      martin34

      Oh and because I have rpm arms so wouldn't use the whole kit

  23. wheres the best place to buy imperial counter sunk allen screws of various sizes?

    1. chewbacca
    2. RCbutcher

      RCbutcher

      Yeah defo ebay search individual screws for best deals.

      M3x10 counter sunk stainless steel screw.

      That should bring up a multy ad you can select size and pack quantity and get like 100 screws for

    3. RCbutcher
  24. 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!

  25. What is the max I can spend from the us without getting stung for import?
