  1. Thing is about socks, they may not be interesting, but you will use them more than ANY other present you could get
  2. Superhub as a router is completely useless however as a modem it works fine. I run the superhub as a modem and a d-link dir615 with ddwrt firmware on there and it is stable as can be. Never drops out! It is hard finding a good router. Took me years! But that is my combo and it works great
  3. Sitting here drinking sloe gin, eating cashew nuts and biscuits listening to hardcore trance. Standard Friday night :/

      Home made sloe gin?

  4. 2700kv is pretty high KV for a monster truck. Also that ESC isn't really suitable imo. ERBE is too big and heavy for that kind of setup. You will just blow up your electronics. Get like a HW 150A or XERun 150A or MMM.
  5. lol have you even read any news? Look at the OP and second post Sirius are gone. Not too surprising really though.
  6. Very nice mate, enjoy it! I loved mine Word of advice: do a single servo conversion asap, makes things so much better! Also, don't jump it with a wing on, you will snap the chassis very easily.
  7. Yeah man both of the comeback bashes were excellent! Those jumps flat out down the road with Hoss holding the ramp, completely insane
  8. Tried reviving NiCD cells before using a car battery. They were slightly better, lasted like a few minutes longer, in the end just got the packs re-celled. Don't much about putting LiPos in there, they won't stay balanced (laptops have charging regulators built in to charge individual cells. Also your charger doesn't support LiPo charging.
  9. Easiest way to prime a nitro engine is to just plug the exhaust and give the pullstart a couple of tugs. Uncover exhaust and off you go
  10. Yeah it's fine mate won't do any harm. Be careful though, sometimes when you accidentally short them the wires can fuse and will continue to short be pack. Prolonged shorting will damage the cells.
  11. Hey mate, Can't remember if you were still active when I registered, but I've been her quite a while and I know of you. Love the videos you made with TM, got the dvd Good to see you back after a long beak! Welcome back!
  12. lol, then you really haven't seen what brushless is capable of. Can your nitro make all the tires explode, or do wheelies at practically any speed.. in a buggy! Some brushless systems arent up to much, as nitros arent exactly slow, but a good 2000kv 3-5hp motor on 5S or 6S will blow away any nitro.
  13. While you're on the topic, would you be able to do mine too? It's been bugging me for a while now lol, it's currently revorocks, I would like it to be Revorocks Will be super grateful if you do!
  14. Just run into a DIY store tomorrow and grab some super glue... If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing well
  15. Owned one, was fun for a month, then the fiddley maintenance, overpriced tiny parts, stripping diffs and crappy electronics put me off. I would consider one again IF I was feeling patient and had a decent budget. They need a lot doing to them if you want to run 3S regularly. With NiMH, they are boring. I would sell your nitro gear from your Hyper and convert that with the
  16. A mamba max, really? Wouldn't even run a 1/8 with that, let alone a 1/5 What were you expecting
  17. Any pack charged at 1c should take 1 hour to charge. With lipos you have to bare in mind the extra time needed for balancing, and the cells may not be exactly their rated capacity.
  18. He's not joking, it's been done lol Would link you a video of it but I can't find it I guess you make a point, but surely a setup like that can't be reliable. Imagine the current going through that ESC, and 100+k rpm on the motor Atleast with a low kv high voltage setup the electronics arent under as much stress.
  19. If you've got the space for gearing, it's always better to go for low kv high voltage setups. Higher voltage is usually more efficient, and so are lower KV motors At end the end of the day, with a higher voltage setup, you're gonna get more power. More speed requires more power, so again high voltage ftw. On smaller cars gearing and physical space for the motor is the limiting factor. Also bear in mind with a big low KV motor and lots of batteries you've got the added weight, and you need more space again. Basically you need to work out a good balance of kv to voltage to weight.
  20. And again, what he said! Don't look even look at Nitrotek. The Hyper ST is PERFECT for a brushless conversion, and if you converted that, you don't have to buy a roller!!! That gives you more of a budget for the electronics
  21. I would definitely invest in a digital charger, they are so much more versatile. I have one of these, they are very popular and fantastic little chargers for the money. http://www.ebay.co.u...=item416e85c9cd You will need a power supply for it: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item337e51eef0 That setup has lasted me just fine and I run 5000mah LiPos. It can do all sorts of batteries and is very simple to operate
  22. What type of batteries are you charging?
  23. 6s is way too much for most trucks lol, you will see that once you run it. Its capable of blowing the tires very easily! 4-5S is much more suitable I usually buy 2S and 3S packs so I can run 2S 3S 4S 5S and 6S
  24. Well that was silly You need every pack to be 5000mah+ really. Why such low capacity? Cancel your order now!! The capacity only adds up when you run them in paralell... If you're running 3 2S packs at a time for 6S, that's still a 6S 2200mah pack, which will have very low runtimes and will get hot. You really wanted 4x 3S 5000mah 30C+ packs, which is why people recommended the nanotechs.
  25. Can you get another pic of the motor maybe from the side? Looks wonky!
