I've been chatting to blokes who race the Vaders, (there is a section on the forum for Vader users)!! don't want to swap out motor just yet, I can get more speed other ways such as 11t pinion gear and, swapping the hex on the wheels as currently only Vader wheels are available, got some parts coming from states which will allow me to change to FTX wheels etc, Only had a couple of runs with it so reluctant to swap out motors at this stage!!!

Will do mate, will get all the bits and batteries and ping ya a mail, cheers!!!

Cheers Danny will defo take you up on that offer!!! that tool looks the mutts nuts and I love gadgets!!!, what else will I need apart from one of these, whats the best solder etc?

Right time to bite the bullet buy myself a soldering Iron and solder and go for it!!!

Want to purchase some more lipos but try and always buy ones with deans!!! Been watching vids on you tube to watch how to solder, Being a newbie to all this I want to ask is it as easy as it looks??? if so what are the best tools etc?

I hear what your saying!!, those nitro guys were all about "all we have to do is refill the tank and away we go again"!! until they managed to break their Bajas!!!, the more batteries the better I say!!

Looking to get more top speed, took it out today for run with new ESC, this is its first proper run and although reasonably quick I hear mention of new gear, what size is best and best place to buy one, want more top end, lots of tourque but slow compared to a few of the Bajas I watched!!! Had issues with the esc kept cutting in and stopping the car, one of my lipos had expanded, running on 2x 3s 11.1v 500mah 20-30c so I think they are running too hot, The motor seems to drain the batteries very quick!!! Any suggestions? looking on hobbyking website at more than 40c batteries to play safe, might even do like some of you guys are doing and run it on 6500mah!!!!

Hi, currently got Maverick Vader XB, need some better Lipos, I require 11.1v 5000mah or more, 40c upwards, best place to purchase them , good ones!!!

I know where you should be, cya lordshill side 1.30

I know the sports centre, used to play footie back there up in the day!!!!, which car park do you go to, is it the one up the top by the bowling green (up the top of the hil)?l

No worries, see you then!!

Probably only got 10 minutes run time!! unless I also use my Traxxas bandit!!!

Anybody know if a mains power lead is available for this and if so best place to get one???

I wish I could, although they do give us free stamps at Christmas and a bonus every year !!!(but before you say anyhting as always its the people at the top who get all the benifits)!!!

Yea, what time???

Anybody out on Sunday?, can pop out for abit, probably won't jump the Vader, but will just give it its first proper run!!!!!

I'm up at the big mail centre next to the airport in Eastleigh, no go 2m house hunting and got to keep the wife and two kids happy!!! Might be able to get out for an hour or so on Sunday, just ordered Baja bumper for the front from the states parts are pricey and scared to bash it LOL!!!

Hey hope that wasn't aimed at me!!! (although I have nothing to do with deliveries)!!! If TNT have got their way we will have different coloured post boxes i,t would end up getting to you broken and costing 3 times as much AND 3 times as long!!!!!

Don't give me grief but I work for Royal Mail LOLl!!!! I could bore you to tears with why the increase and why we have finally been able to bypass the regulator and start charging more and why other companies TNT etc want a piece of our pie but I'm sure you don't want to hear me go on and on!!!!!!!

Yea just looked on the box, your right about the 2-6s LOL!! Have you got the hex wheel hubs, I'll take a set from you so I can change wheels etc, haven't used my vader much as only had it 2 months and was off the road for 2 weeks while I sorted new ESC!!, yet to brake anything but dare say I will!!!

Fitted the new ezrun hobbyking 150a pro esc, it states it can run off two 6s lipos can this be true, if so best place to buy a couple of these packs!!

Yea I fitted the new hobbyking ezrun 150a pro and used a friends program card, spot on!!, went to order one from blacksmiths and out of stock arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrhhhhh!!!!!!

Might try and get out!!!, let us know where you will be, being dragged round the shops but should be able to get out of that LOL!!!

Yea will try, Not really taken them out much before, got a Traxxas bandit, alright for just messing with, also got savage xs, want to get my Vader running ASAP, if I can't get hold of him is this something you could have a look at, can you believe never replaced new ESC before thought it would be straight swap LOL!!! where are you based and when are you about???

Sorry, I did send personnal message to ,G Rats!! but looks like he is offline, it was a link he sent me, ESC is a EZRUN 150a pro for 1/5 scale
