      100w seems pretty poor at that price if I'm honest. The jargon sounded good then I read the spec. You'd barely get to 12A rate with 2s, any bigger (3s,4s) It would get nowhere near it. Can't even do 5-6s either. Traxxas ID = Con ID.

      Suppose it depends on what you're planning to charge on it.  Most peeps don't have packs much over 6000mah, and if you only run 4S max, (which I guess is the case here as like u said it doesn't do 5/6S!) then you'd be alright with it, so long as you only charge at 1C.

       

      However, its TRX, so it aint cheap is it???!!!  Probably better value options out there.

      Would rather get two of those Overlander RC6 ones for the same money... Two packs at once and they'll do higher voltages.

      Fly In My Soup

      Was listening to r4 earlier.....they where banging on about how the gov. Kept pushing contracts and cash at carillon over a year after it posted massive end of year losses.....

       

      So they knew that carillon was in trouble.....yet kept throwing cash and contracts at their feet!!

       

      Eeeeee by gum, the government urinating money away eh.....whatever next

  3. Think It's time to part with the Losi MTXL and find a 5ive :ph34r:

    1. Carpmart

      Carpmart

      Last time you were looking for a 5ive but got seduced by the looks of the monster truck!  This time you'll probably end up looking for a 5T and buying a boat! :D 

  4. Going about my business and all of a sudden I hear something outside. Thought it was the neighbour with his hedge trimmer, then I take a look and see a Traxxas slash flying around! 19 years of living in this cul de sac and it’s the first time I’ve seen someone with an RC model.Message to the owner... I will find you, and become your friend!  :lol:

      Seen a Phantom flying around near me, but I've not yet managed to locate the owner/pilot!

      A local lad bought his first RC on a whim after seeing me using one on the speed humps :D became good friends!

      I saw loads at my old house during the summer 3-4 nitro trucks together so i brought one and never saw them again lol. Then a neighbor took his savage out but was just testing to sell it. Then here at the new place i saw a hyper 7 being ragged in the street but not since. 

       

      I bet 70% of uk rcs arent used lol. Just stuck in the attic or anywhere else but running. 

  5. Happy New Year! :P

  13. Spoke to a neighbour/friend earlier who lost his mother last week. She went on a break to wales and walked into the airing cupboard in her hotel room. The door closed behind her and left her trapped. She attempted to break the handle and manually open it but failed. She then broke a plank of wood off the shelf and tried to smash her way through the door and wall.

      Twas Micheal Issacs - Shock Sox UK - he bought the set up from someone else iirc.  Checking the FB page out they've been quiet for almost a year.  

       

      These guys caught my eye awhile back - I like that they put logo's on - I assume they supply a 'stock' length and you cut to length.  I don't see any mention of diameter's on the 1/8 products.

      Kpowell911

      Yea loadsa people do it now. Have a Prime account, advertise something on eBay for more than it costs on Amazon, when you order it off eBay they order it to your address from amazon with free postage
