I wouldn't use a lipo with the stock servos.
This is the battery I used with my DBXL

Is this a LIPO

1 is still on standard servos the other has standard brake n throttle and a savox steering
If it's likely to cause problems I'll save myself £7 and order another LIFE 1600 they have the LIPO in stock and we're only 30 minutes from modelsport so was going to pick 1 up tomorrow

Currently running a 1600 LIFE pack for the RX but lost my spare so for a few quid more I've been told these are an excellent battery

Never had anything to do with LIPO
Any suggestions or advice would be great

Thank you

So we've been looking for a new engine for one of our 5ive t's and just can't pull the trigger on some of the "copy" engines we've seen
A 30.5 or a 32 from rcmodelz
B 29 dynamite from ebay advertised as new
Your thoughts please

We are looking at getting the key's for the gate on the roundabout and the one's further down so we could drive under the motorway and get all most up to the sewage works

This is one of the area's we are hoping to get access to with key's to both sets of gates as my son works for the contractor that went in to clear up after the gypsies were moved on fromthe land over the duel carriage from temple the old Skelton grange site
-
Is that the one you get to through the gates on junction 45 I've met a couple of peaple that do from the Garforth area I think with a 1/18th electric and a 1/5th baja and a dbxl

Hi there are loads of places if you look further down this section someone has a post titled leeds bashing places but me and my son go to temple newsom quite often if you park in the carpark near the running track you can run your car's on the field on the running track or there's a bmx track in the woods
If you like running on tarmac there's the overflow car park at xcape or over on the spoil that you can get to from the overflow car park
I'm working on getting permission to a couple of sites local to me that would make great bashing grounds one of which is very close to cas

Switchblade disconnected from receiver and from kill button
Yes good strong spark reconnect kill button back to coil without switchblade and boom still good strong blue spark will swap switchblade for a spare I have tonight and should be up and running again I'll check plug joint I have put in the switchblades wires to enable me to remove battery tray or engine separate when I get home tonight thanks joly_Roger
-
Cheers guys I'll investigate more tomorrow

Can the coil gap suddenly change the point being it was running spot on got put away after running it dry of fuel got it out changed return fuel line refueled but wouldn't start So ran my dbxl instead got a new new pull start and fitted it as the original one was a bit notchy but still wouldn't start changed plug as the one in was the original from new checked for spark and nothing
I've never had engine out or messed with it because I've never had to so don't know how to check coil gap all wires seem ok I've unplugged kill switch from receiver and disconnected push button kill to rule them out I shouldn't really be into this hobby as I'm not too technically minded
-
This is the first time in the 18 months I've had it I haven't been able to just pick it up start it and go
-
So a few weeks ago I took the 5ive out for a bash and noticed the fuel line had split so replaced it the car hadn't been touched since my last outing about a month ago and was running nice before so was suprised when it wouldn't start
So today I've changed the plug checked the switchblade replaced the fuel but no spark should I change the coil or am I missing something obvious

These are really good my friend has one it makes cleaning down after a bash really easy
-
Was thinking about trying some of this and then painting or possibly dyeing it at less than £2 for an A4 sheet for the 14 count (number of holes per inch ) it should be worth a try
