  4. mm both my 2s and 3s are 5000mah :/
  5. 7.2 nimh, 2s lipo, 3s Lipo A charger with bluetooth, seen it all now! Is it actually useful? I follow the same principle too, reassured by what you've said. No problem with it overcharging batteries or anything like that?
  6. haven't tested it yet, worried it might burn the house down or something
  7. The one I bought has no logo on the back, I think it's a fake http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261806866769

  9. Ordered a B6 and plug in power supply from eBay, figured for £12.65 and £10.99 was worth a punt! http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/151794201738 http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/262253526038

  12. Paint Gurus, what's the best way to fix the flaking paint of my beloved Tamiya Repsol Celica ST185?
  13. Control electric speed controllers 2.4ghz radio Performance high capacity batteries lipo batteries brushless motors Nitro nitro electric starts kinda handy Better fuels Build quality Manufacturers putting way more R&D into their products and using much stronger materials Old-skool RC'in used to be SO frustrating! Kids today will never know the struggle of: MSCs getting stuck or go out of configuration so would either fly off and crash or not move. 27mhz radio gear that suddenly decides to not work when your car is full pelt due to random interference so it flys off and crashes. Rubbish low capacity Nimh and Nickel batteries that lasted no time at all and took ages to charge. Not very good glow fuel that was pretty hard to get engines running on and seemingly never consistent. The cars broke, like allot. Your RC time was always cut very short because your naff battery had died in 5-10 mins use or the car broke, either through failure of a poor part or more likely your car ran off and hit something hard at full pelt and destroyed half its self, and that would happen basically every time you used the car! with a nice expensive rip to the LHS and then a load of time repairing it. Rinse and Repeat. Man I don't miss any of that! The modern performance of a lipo battery and brushless motor in a well built strong, reliable, controllable car is what RC'in always dreamed to be. I still find it novel to go out and run one of my cars and get to run until I have finished playing a
  14. what's the torque tuned motor like?

  16. ABC Hobby do a 4wd mini Body's are really high quality too Failing that the TA04SS is pretty short
  17. I have a Yellow painted Taisan Porsche and I much prefer it not being stock/box coloured Gunmetal could look pretty epic with the lines of the body though
  18. Best bet's probably to get modelsport to chase it for you http://www.modelsport.co.uk/rally-legends-ford-escort-mk2-rs-1800-rally-body/rc-car-products/384058
  19. Forgot to say, waterproof would probably be handy
  20. Noticed this too and was wondering the same thing!
  21. My brother in law just bought an early Traxxas e-maxx on eBay and the original steering servo is barely turning the wheels, what's best to replace it with?
