Hello I'm selling up and have the following for sale: Firstly I have my Team Associated B44.1 for sale this is Brushless RTR all thats needed is the lipos and away you go. It comes with a Turnigy Trackstar ESC and 13.5T motor combo the programme card is also included, it's fitted with a super fast metal geared servo 0.10sec and a Turnigy Trackstar TS3T radio gear which has all the feature's off the top end radio equipment including battery voltage level and a temperature gauge that can be fitted in the car. The car comes with quiet a few spares including spare shocks and a spare slipper clutch unpainted spare bodyshell ,and loads of spare wheels and tyres. I only just fitted some new schumacher mini spikes a week ago as well. The motor and esc haven't been used much as I only bought them a month ago and they have never been ran out of blinky mode and the car is in excellent condition with no scratches the only bit of damage is to the wing but these are inexpensive it also comes boxed, I'm looking for

Hello I'm wanting to set the slipper clutch correctly on my b44.1 electric buggy, I understand it's pretty easy to do with 2wd as you just hold the back wheels down and dip the throttle until the car just lifts up. But I'm unsure how you do it on 4wd drive versions to get a standard setting that just needs tweeking a little bit at the track. I appreciate any help cheers.

Okay cheers si coe, I'll see what the b44 feels like with the 24t pinion in if it's slow i'll up the gearing because I have pinions between 23-33 so I should find something to suit thanks for the advice.

Cheers si coe, yeah I thought 6.5t was a bit mental for indoors I got it with the buggy but I am going to replace it with a 13.5t soon, The transmission ratio for the B44 is 2.5.1 I'm not sure what it is for the b-max, I've popped a 24/81 in the B44 I'll see how it feels with that in, when you say left behind on the straights if you don't have a high gearing, is that due to the car just having more acceleration and not much top speed with low gearing? and is it just trying to find a blance between good acceleration and good overall top speed? sorry for the noob questions I'm pretty new to this cheers.

Hello this is really two questions in one, firstly I have a Yokomo b max 2 that i've just got set up it has a 6.5turn speed passion competition v3 motor and I'll be running saddle lipo's at 5000mah, I understand how FDR works for gearing and that but looking at the instructions the lowest pinion size you can use is 20t now I have set this up at 23/80 will this be okay as the track I'll be running on is pretty tight so I'm looking more for accelaration it gives me an FDR of 9.4. My second question is concerning at Associated B44.2 again it's about gearing but this time with a 13.5T would it be okay setting this up at 23/81 that gives me a FDR of 8.80, I hope someone can help as I'm having trouble figuring out whats needed cheers.

Okay cheers and the radio gear is 2.4 ghz i've seperated them just in case cheers.

Hey guys i'm pretty new to this lipo and brushless, anyways I've hooked everything up and then cable tidied all the wires so it's more tidy, my question is should the servo wire and esc to receiver wire be cable tide seperate to the esc to motor wire with this getting hot? I'm only asking because I don't want to burn the servo wires which seem quiet flimsy compared to 14 gauge wire the esc has. any help is appreciated.

Okay guys sorry of the late reply I took it out for a run tonight for the first time properly, I adjusted the idle speed so that it didnt run away took a while to start it but I think that was more the temperature outside (-1). Once I got it started though it was very boggy and kept cutting out while standing still, also when it was running there was no high end speed or accelartion it just bogged and spluttered if I dipped the throttle. Tried making a few adjustments like open the HSN to richen and that made accelaration and top speed better but it was still quiet not right funny gargle noise while running. Would I be better going back to factory settings and tuning it again for winter use? Also stupidly last week I adjusted the wrong needle and accidently turned the Supply fuel nozzle (SFN) that it says never to touch! The last time I saw a nitro it didnt have this extra screw so I suppose it's easly mistaken whats the factory setting for this screw is it flush with the housing? . I appreciate any help with these issues I'm having.

Ohh dear the car is actualy a tt-01 model just matched it upto the instructions, and it's not even the drift model like he said it was! it's the standard with no adjustabe camber or suspension . So I have fitted them gears into the tt-01 instead does th same apply for the tt-01 I dont understand why its drifitng about with it not being the D model would it have anything to do with it being ball raced?

Ojay cheers but arent 1s lipo's only 3.7v anyway? so them saddle packs should be okay run as 1s? the reason I ask is so I can use them in the supastox and then use them saddled in the bmax so it saves me buying loads of batteries. Also I'm a bit confused when it comes to esc and lipos and I understand that the esc has to be higher amps than the motor, but then the battery has to run at higher amps than the esc. So for example if I had an 80amp esc with 250amp burst and I was running a 13.5 turn motor with 35amps then a battery such as a 5600mah 50c would have 280 amps output. Is it alright for th battery to be running such higher amps than the esc?

Hey guys just purchased a second hand yokomo B-max v2, I basically have two question in one but both are about lipo battery's. Firstly whats the best size rise to fit from Hobbyking fr the b max? and secondly I purchased a schumacher supastox the other day and I'm after 1s lipo's for that now I see Hobbyking do saddle packs that are basically 1s if you use one by itself my question about these is whats the power output then for example I was looking at these: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__34306__Turnigy_nano_tech_5000mah_2S3P_30_60C_Hardcase_Saddle_Lipo_Pack_ROAR_APPROVED_UK_Warehouse_.html Now if you used one of the saddle packs what would the mah output be would it be halved to 2500mah? and what about the c rating? It's pretty confusing this lipo game haha any help is appreciated cheers.

So i'm just getting back into rc cars after a long break and I would like to race, is there any clubs left in the county durham area? I remeber a club in teeside which I went to once but that was 10 years ago is it still running? I appreciate any help for clubs in my area cheers.

Okay cheers guys, I've cancelled them parts now and ordered the tt01e gear bags you mentioned noj, I appreciate the help with this guys cheers.

Okay I think I may have ordered the wrong parts then as I ordered the following Tamiya 51531 TT-02 G Parts and Tamiya 51529 TT-02 C Parts (Cup Joint) will these do or should I cancel that and get them parts you mentioned noj? Sorry for all the newbie questions guys.

Cheers noj, I already had that idea of looking up the manual i think i've found the parts code which is 51531which is for the diff case,bevel pinion gears,spur gear stopper,ring gear and spur and modelsport have them am I right in thinking these are what I need and would I need two sets one for the front and one for the back? http://www.modelsport.co.uk/tamiya-tt-02-g-parts-gear-/rc-car-products/373949

Alos i'm having a browse for the diffs but can't really find any where's the best place to buy them in the uk?

Thats great news thanks, I didn't realise either that the D model is adjustable when the tt02 isn't, it makes it seem worthwhile that I got the car rtr for

Hello I just purchased a second hand tamiya tt02 D I didn't realise it was the drift model until I got the parcel. Anyways I was wondering how do you make it into a normal touring car instead of a drift chassis? What parts would I need? I hope it's pretty easy to do but I have no experience with drift chassis I appreciate any help cheers.

ohh I see what you mean anthoop thanks for clearing that up hopefully I should be able to get it going properly on sunday I'll let you know how it goes thanks for the advice guys.

Thanks nitro nerd, some of what you said I understand but when you say place a paper clip in the carb what do you mean by this? do you take the rubber off the carb? or is the paper clip placed on this sorry if this seems like a stupid question, also when I ran it last night it was moving forward by much just a little bit so I'll try adjusting the idle speed down a tiny bit that may help hopefully before trying what you said nitro nerd thanks for the help with this.

Okay thanks guys, Yeah I suspect it has been bashed and used quite a bit from the look of it and the guy in the listing had said it was in full working order. Thanks for the advice guys i'll tr adjusting the idle speed needle tomorrow and I think you;s are right about the servo being knackered so I've ordered a savox one and a new transmitter to see if that fixes the problem. I give it a bit of a run tonight and the steering was all over the place also I noticed it didnt have to much top speed or accelleration when you put it on full throttle could that be with is over idling in the first place and the problem maybe solved when I adjust the idle needle? God Nitro's are a head bang to get used to!

Hello I have had electric cars in the past but i'm new to nitro and have just bought a hobao hyper 7 off ebay, I have just managed to start it with much mucking around to get it away but when it's running at idle the car isnt stationary and is moving forward and the back wheels are moving, I have tried altering the trim on the controller but no no avail how can I fix this? Also i'm not sure if the servo's are going or something but when I turn on the batter and the remote the front servo is going mental and shaking around which is making the front wheels shake as well if you know what I mean also when it does this the steering is prety laggy when trying to turn. I hope someone can give me some pointers as to whats going wrong here cheers.

hello have you still got it for sale?

Hello I have two itmes for sale on e bay first is a X ray T2 RTR brushless system with a 10.5T fusion motor and esc and a 2.4 ghz remote it also includes a ansmann balance lipo charger: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260757180769&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT I also have a yokomo MR 4 TC Black edition carbon fibre rolling chassis on there to: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260757188008&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT Check them out and grab a bargain!

Just got my brushless set up working! took it back to modelsport and it was a faulty esc.... anyway i tried fitting the lipo which is a 5000mah 30c turnigy hardcase pack but it wont fit under the top deck on my x ray t2... So i had to make a bracket from some stainless steelto hold it in place it fits nicely. But will this effect the cars weightt to much with it being heavier than normal now?It flies now but drags to the battery side when going straight with it being heavier I think. What others ways apart from tape can I hold the battery in place?
