Hey all was out with the family and found a Hillingdon council park near Ruislip wood. It's public and large and I doubt anybody could complain as houses pretty far. Just a FYI There's paths there too but dunno how exciting of how much foot traffic Dropped Pin near Ruislip, UK https://goo.gl/maps/fxVhYwpgSV42 Punishing my wallet apparently...

Update I ran the 1600 with a 15t. Clocked at Just a shade under at 43mph but that could be due to so many factors so I'm gonna say more or less the same. Temp 159 maxed slightly higher... Run time seemed longer but I didn't time so can't state really I did find the motor felt more jumpy (torquey?) . Had to be a lot more careful as throttle was more sensitive which I think is to be expected Punishing my wallet apparently...

That is so interesting and really useful as I've been looking to get a can Might be worth changing the title as I think this is a useful post but might get missed Thx Punishing my wallet apparently...

Good to know thanks! Punishing my wallet apparently...

I'm no expert but I went through the same thought prices and let's face it you're better off being over the top about fire safety than the other way around However I would say that ammo tins are designed to contain military explosives bullets etc (clues in the name -ammo tin) so why would you want to drill holes in it? Surely you want to contain gases and prevent fire . Wouldn't Drilling holes feed a fire oxygen and let toxic gas escape ??? Just saying... And I could be totally wrong Punishing my wallet apparently...

Interesting point thank you! I'm no engineer but I think that makes sense to me... So based on your input, with the 2200 (assuming less torque) each revolution of the motor potentially moves the truck less distance than a revolution of the higher torque 1600 ??? Punishing my wallet apparently...

So me and my boys are running a TT mt4 G3 We currently run a 2200 castle with quicrun 150a on stock 12/50 gearing on 6s Off road on short grass we just hit 45 mph temp max ever is 140 degrees That's the highest speed to date and we don't even really do speed runs.....So I have no huge urge to change anything but for the sake of learning I figured I'd throw this out there. We also have a leopard 4082 1600 so longer and lower kv If I have understood various posts the lower kv indicates that this will spin slower than the 2200.... so on 6s to match the at wheel speed we should hear up Basic calculations which I may have wrong come in at about a pinion of 16 or 17 Here's the question. Even though spinning slower the leopard is presumably putting great effort in due to increased teeth... So is there any benefit to switch the two motors? My gut says the temps will probably be similar but for different reasons. Of course that's guessing which is why I'm asking. Punishing my wallet apparently...

Hi mate pmed you Punishing my wallet apparently...

Thanks that looks just like the battery medic I just got from hobbyking so I guess I'll see how that compares with the overlander Punishing my wallet apparently...

Aaaaaaaah some perspective. Thank you. So when should one worry? Punishing my wallet apparently...

The more my boys and I have gotten into bashing the more batteries I have to start charging We have 2 chargers one an old iMax b6 (id guess clone) one overlander rs8 pro I also have a cheap lv/alarm unit and a battery medic from hobbyking which is new The iMax can be .03 volts of cell values but I'd expect that as its old and a copy However the other three tend to vary by as much as .02 and are never identical on any of a number of batteries The battery medic and overlander are normally very close .... One or two Cells 0.01 variance I expect that some variance is normal due to Rounding up and round Down but .... Does the sensing capability vary that much due to components or age or other factors?

Looks like carpmart to the rescue again ! Punishing my wallet apparently...

How much buddy? And how are ya? Punishing my wallet apparently...

Like it says ....please... Punishing my wallet apparently...

Pmd you and included my email addy thanks Punishing my wallet apparently...

Hell I'll take that as a spare if you don't mind please? PM me your PayPal and damage if you'd like And either way I really appreciate the offer at least. Punishing my wallet apparently...

Thanks but I've already bern sold a couple Thank you for replying I'll update the post too Punishing my wallet apparently...

No longer required. Preferably 13-16t Let me know thanks Punishing my wallet apparently...

I bought these and never used Don't think you can get here so figured I'd offer to you guys £35 each delivered which is only what I paid All the best Punishing my wallet apparently...

I've got a brushed lunchbox. Old white shell but it's got a nip black shell with Windows and chrome too. Never got round to even opening as my boy lost interest Punishing my wallet apparently...

Yes but that would be easy right[emoji3]??? Punishing my wallet apparently...

Check RCbutchers thread slash 4x4 bit by bit ... I'm sure the same auction is in euros and comes in at £90.... Not 100%. Punishing my wallet apparently...

I'm doing something similar and posted a thread trying to work out axles and motor.... Total rookie so may have been really dumb.... Anyway I've got the lcg kit for $50 .... All plastics, motor mount hinge pins steering, a arms included. Got xo1 diffs $45 for 2 Drive shaft... Other Bearings screws etc $25 Just axles and carriers to sort which will be around $100. Say $220 for brand new roller so £150 I'm using dollars as I'm in the uk but getting most things in the US next week! Took a lot of hunting but def a good exercise and well within budget for me. Guess I'll have to do a thread... Let me know how it goes for you and good luck! Punishing my wallet apparently...

Thanks Alex. Validates my thoughts which need validating [emoji15]. Rookie remember! So 3s lcg with the tenshock with Mip axles increases weight but would solve axle break issues. But is it then too much weight for tenshock .... Which negates half of weight advantage???? I'm not going to post a which combo is best question.... There are so many already and most tend to sit around 2400-2600 castle... But I suspect the MIP are possible too much weight for the 3800 tenshock So if that's true......tenshock with tekno? Or mips with a 2600 motor? Punishing my wallet apparently...

So I am real new to RC since maybe Nov/dec. There's always more to learn and I try to read old threads rather than post. I have hit a block We have 2 slash 4x4s One hcg one lcg The hcg is my sons and is pretty stock with few alloy parts and rpm usuals Wp-sc8 tenshock 3800 13 pinion stock spur Revo clutch. Badlands. The lcg we've been working on but was primarily built by a very experienced friend. It has Mip splined axles (pin not keyed) 2200kv mmm combo Gen3 slipper 20t pinion Hot racing half cage Traxxas 17mm adapters 5 inch 1/8 badlands style disc wheels So here's the thing.... The stock hcg flies on 3s approx. It feels like same speed as lcg on 4s But No exact metrics and they are a bit apple and oranges in the way they are setup and drive handle etc. So I was thinking to try the hcg combo in the lcg but my friend pointed out the weight is higher on the lcg so the tenshock is moving less weight in the hcg that's a factor why it feels faster The hcg weight 2kg the lcg weighs 3kg!!! So we are planning to convert the hcg to a lcg. We need new axles as you all know we are breaking stock ones on every 3s run lol. So with the tenshock the car is already lighter as the mamba combo is heavy I'm thinking if we put tekno axles on ( i know the views vary but only looking at weight ) they are 250g less than Mip 500g, so the car would go to 2.25kg What are your thoughts/advice on this? This would mean negating the need for 2200 sized combo as the motor itself adds weight as do the mips... Don't even get me started on bearing wear and hex adapters...seriously Punishing my wallet apparently...
