  2. For those that have had these wheels/tyre combo how have you found the hex fitting? I ask because i got a set from modelsport but ended up rounding 2 hexes on fitting them on my e-hyper. So i boiled them up n fit them to other rims. Wicked tyre though! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  3. Get 1! I use an overlander rc6 and voltage readings between are waaay off. Yes i did caliberate the charger using a mega money fluke multimeter, but its loses itself somehow. I have even had it replaced by overlander and caliberated by them. When the charger reaches 8.4v it goes alittle longer and shuts down charging. When the battery doctor is plugged in on the battery balance connector and the charger reads 8.4v the doctor reads 8.0 - 8.2v and thr charger can put in another 200 - 600 mAh!

  4. Started when i was about 10 going to model shop which was about 50yds down from me. Got a saturday job there and the owner used to take me racing. I saved n saved till i could get a tamiya hot shot and ran that for ages! from then i've had allsorts too many to list. The rest is twenty odd years history:D Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

  8. I personally would use a cold/medium-cold plug with higher % nitro Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  9. If you have a new plug try that? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  10. Hi all What would be a safe range for brushless motor temps? in particular the Sirius 4600 3650, mines in a e-firestorm and when running it hits 62

  12. Hi Is there anywhere in the uk i can get a ezrun wp sc8 from? i really dont wanna wait 2-3 weeks from china. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  13. +1 on the sirius, cant wait for the 4 pole versions to land!! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  14. I sometimes deal with a company whom "claim" to manufacture for quite a few brands but as always took it with a pinch of salt. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  15. Does anyone know the internal gear ratio of the storm? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  16. Brought some of the beach with me today, albeit on my storm which just loved being driven at high velocity around in the sand. the more i use this truck (owned it about a year) the more i love it. Now for its very first clean up!!! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  17. Thanks guys, all sorted now though, it turned out to be the receiver???? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  18. Sweet!! I tried a 3s lipo on mine today (120a esc/sirius 4600kv) and it was just so scatty and uncontrollable so i'll stick to 2s for now till i get some smaller pinions (plus motor was heating up real quik) Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  19. Ok so once i got the new 120a esc up n running i can now tell you, DONT LISTEN TO ME!!!!! Ive give the truck a hammering tonight and all is good!! Both esc and motor after a pack were just warm on 2s/standard gearing. And I, once again, am a happy chappy :D:D Now to try 3s............... Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  20. Morning all, I put a 120a esc in the firestorm and nimh cells the rx/esc fires up no probs but on lipo its hit n miss?? Example, everythings plugged in and programmed but when i switch esc on the receiver just flashes (also steering does not operate?) if i flick the switch a few times only then does it come alive. if i then switch it off then back on the same happens where the receiver just flashes, i have tried another receiver but the same happens. If i plug a nimh in all is fine??? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  21. On your firestorm?!? Ive got the 120a version of that esc in 1/8 so i'll give that a whirl tonight, thanks Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  22. Oh ok, why doesnt esc get even warm if motor wants to pull those kind of amps? I did consider this so a new esc is enroute. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  23. I dont think that the esc makes a difference overall. I reckon that irs definatley the motor/gear ratio.as i have used the following, Ezrun 10t - melted Generic hk 4000kv - melted Generic hk 3000kv - bbq'd Sirius 4600kv very hot All above have been on 2s lipo aswell so my only hope is to drop pinion teeth. So in response to the above post, get any esc you want but make sure you also get a handful of pinions too. Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
  24. Well the sirius 4600kv motor feels solid, average wire length but, in the firestorm on standard 19/87 gearing with 2s lipo/35a esc the motor gets as hot as other less 'efficent' motors. Dissappointed? kinda. Going to have to gear it down, yes (want to be able to run 3s lipo with no heat issues). I'm going to try 15t pinion to see how that goes, when i find one.

  25. Sweet, ive ordered a 4600kv which should be with me any day! Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
