    How do you store your lipos?

    comment on batteries on other devices...

     

    tablet manufacturers will spend a lot of time and effort making sure the batteries and charging in them are sound and safe. Also look at the size of them. The weight of lipo in an  phone or tablet is tiny versus the amount in some 4S 5000mah brick. like 10 , 20 or 30 x less in the phone. That is a lot less chemical energy.

     

    me? batteries at storage charge in the garage.

    Thunder Tiger MTA S28 - new, boxed. whole or split.

    in For RC Sales

    Posted · Edited by jari

    I need to clear space in the garage, and space off the ever growing "project" list. No time to complete the ones on there and I keep adding.

     

    This is an incomplete, new thunder tiger MTA 28. I bought this off Modelzone when they went into administration. It had some parts removed from it by the store so is incomplete. It is however unused... never had a drop of fuel. I bought it hoping to convert it to brushless... and then ended up buying and converting an S50 instead.

    It is ready to go with chassis, wheels/tyres, engine, all servos, and radio tx/rx with the exception of the following missing parts:

    Missing parts are:

    - the dual start plate for the engine.

    - one rear tie rod.

    - slipper attachment for spur gear.

    This would be a great spares truck for someone running one. If you want to get this up and running you will need to spend some money or combine with older / spares truck.

    i am happy to split into 2 or 3 lots, but no more than that. no time! e.g. some form of engine/tank/pipe split, chassis, or separate radio. Engine would be great for parts if you already have one. New dual start is £40ish piston and liner should fit the other TT buggy .28 engines.

    Options (all prices include signed for insured delivery and all paypal fees.i.e. price you see is what you pay) 

    1. the whole lot for £120 

    2. rolling chassis - wheels/tyres, chassis , radio and servo, but no engine / pipe / tank.  - £90

    3. engine/pipe/tank £35 

     

    Picture to come.

    boxed!

    Forum Update and Downtime

    I'm just glad it's up and running again, I used to advise blue chip companies on disaster recovery and 9 times out of 10 they had never thought about it until they lost a load of data.

    amen to that... (as the saying goes)

    disaster recovery is only as good as your last test. and if you have never tested it... then you have no backup.

    had personal experience of this many years ago. scenario went something like this:

    "set up backups for email"

    "ok, backups running every day. daily diffs, with weekly full backup"

    "backups all running?"

    "yep"

    time passes....

    "sh!t we have lost the email server... never mind we restore from backup"

    time and much swearing happens...

    "hmmm, none of the backups ever actually worked."

    if not tested it doesn't work.

    ---

    and for interest...

    the bigger players will now deliberately break their infrastructure every day to check that their plans *really* work... look up Chaos Monkey for a tool that does it.

     

    Stepping into Truggy Ownership - Hyper TT

    in Buggies, Truggies & Stadiums

    Posted

    I have no idea what that is. Lol. Ill google it

    Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

    Mod 1 is the same pitch as the one eighth nitro buggy use for their clutch bells. Same as for one eighth electric. They are normally found with 5mm shaft diameter pinions to suit the larger eighth scale motors.

    One of the issues with hyper TT is finding pinions to fit. Normal tenth scale motors are 3.25mm shaft diameter. There are very limited options for 3.25 mm shaft and mod 1. You either need a bore reducer to suit the motor, or buy a motor with 5mm shaft.

    S50 brushless conversion...

    in Monster RCs

    Posted · Edited by jari

    Hi Jari,

    Fascinating write up!

    I'm a complete newbie and am wanting to convert my S50 into brushless also.

    I'm not a big use of it and just want it for the odd run at the weekend.

    As a complete newbie, I have no clue as to where to start.

    Could you be kind enough to provide an idiot proof write up for me?

    Or just point out the obvious mistakes in my assumptions as listed below?

    1) I will be keeping the stock truck, gearbox, diffs, wheels, tyres and ACE tx/rx

    2) I will need 1480kv motor, motor mount, 4s lipo, 15T Hobbyking 150A ESC and Savox 1231 servo.

    Can you point me in the right direction as to where to buy this shopping list?

    3) I will need to FOC the gearbox and lock into 2nd gear.

    4) I'm confused as to 'the soldering of the ESC' - Why / where would I need to solder this?

    Any help / advise would be greatly appreciated.

     

    harsh but... I am not going to do an idiots guide as there is no such thing.

     

    if you are using the truck at weekends a little only then I wouldn't convert. enjoy gobs of nitro torque and noise. converting to electric is neither easy nor cheap for the first conversion. second and third conversions are cheaper as you already have the charger/batteries etc.

     

    if you are determined to convert there are two routes

     

    1. - keep centre gearbox and use something like RC-monster mount .

    or

    2. go centre diff route and junk the gearbox

     

    these two approaches need different kv motor to get the gearing right so you need to do your research first.

     

    not going to answer the question about soldering. if you can't solder don't even bother a then you need to reconsider an electric conversion. learn to solder, learn about electrics or don't bother.

     

    you are going down a hard path to convert a 1/8th monster truck from a newbie position. 

     

    correct me if I am wrong in  any assumptions.

    Want to do a brushless convertion on my thunder tiger S50

    in General - Electric

    Yes you can keep gearbox. I have one. Using the rcmonster mount. It needs the lower kV motor. I have a 2000kv leopard on there and it is too high kV really. You can't get smaller than a 17 tooth ponipn with that mount... So choose motor accordingly. I want to out a 1600 or 1300 kV motor in there to run 4 to 6 cell.

    I bought a gearbox forward only kit to lock it on second... It is possible to do it yourself do a search for associated MGT conversion as they are same vehicle for US market.

    O believe some people also keep the mechanical brakes to put less stress on motor esx and give longer runtime.

    Threadlock and shim everything well. I have had troubles with losing pins from odd places. I now use cable ties and tape on the centre cvd robstop pins falling out if threadlock fails.

    The jump well. Run withoutba shell and you will kill your shock towers...

    Might be interested in letting my rc monster mount go if you are interested? I fancy trying centre diff. PM me. I can get them from the US easily too.. Benefit of having colleagues in Walnut Creek.:)
