    Am using 55wt for shocks, replaced the stock springs to 1.1mm, front diff 20,000 cst, rear diff 15,000 cst. 

     

    When you get one, make sure you upgrade the rod end first, I would say its a must 😃

    I appreciate the advice.. may I ask what the rod ends are, any chance of a photo? 
     

    im new to rc so coming to grips with different bits and pieces 😂

    Transmitter upgrade options?

    in General RC

    Looking at replacing the stock transmitter that came with my SC10 Pro4. 
     

    I’ve seen a few names and models pop-up. But having others recommendations would be helpful.

     

    Will I have to replace the receiver, also? 
     

    ideally I’d like one that could run a few different cars / trucks, I’m hoping my RC collection grows.

     

    One I have seen (pretty decent price) is the Absima CR3P - comes with two rx. Are these worth a punt?

    Hi Bajadre 

     

    I’ll replace the batteries and see if that helps. I won’t be using it for a while, so the outcome will have to wait! 
     

    in the meantime it’s due a good clean, so I’ll see if anything obvious shows up.

    Took the Pro4 out today for a quick bash. However the range was rubbish, probably a third of what it was when I used it previously. (Only last weekend, give or take)

     

    Could it simply be the batteries in the tx? (4x Duracell, maybe 3 hours of use tops, and only 2 weeks old) 

     

    Any tips on where / what to look at would be helpful. 
     

    Thanks

    These rally cars got me hooked mate 🎣 

    I'm looking at getting the kit, but the standard version (lack of carbon and no mudflaps) Unfortunately the top spec kit is sold out everywhere. 

     

    I was originally looking at joining in on the silver can budget build, but this seems to offer a little more bling than a Tamiya TT-01 / TT02. So i'm hoping my first rally build will have the PTG2 as its chassis. 

     

    What weights did you end up using in the diff & shocks?

     

     

    Basic lipo battery charger recommendations UK

    Hi @Kpowell911 I bought the skyrc S65 charger and used it on the weekend. I just wanted to ask, have you used the 'Lipo Storage' function? I tried it in order to charge a 2S lipo I had just used up 3.8v as I won't be using the battery for a couple of weeks. It charged both cells up to around 3.8v but then sat there for a while and seemed to idle around 3.7 - 3.8. I stopped it manually in the end. I was expecting it to end the charge when it hit 3.8 on each cell. Just wondered if you have used that function? Also should you always using the 'Lipo Balance CHG' function everytime as I noticed there was another function for 'Lipo Charge'. There wasn't much in the manual to explain what the difference was?

     

    Thanks!

    My very limited experience would suggest you have done the storage charge correctly. 
     

    The handful of times I have charged and then discharged it has fluctuated slightly. 
     

    I think there needs to be some allowance given between both the charger and batteries used.

     

    I tended to connect the battery back to the charger to double check the volts.

     

    my charger, the one I recommended also has both options of lipo charge. 
     

    balance charging ensures all cells are charged equally. This helps prolong the life and ensures it is safe to use.

    with Tamiyas you usually have to factor in cost of a bearing kit as they come with plastic bushings and also usually plastic friction shocks 

    Maybe i'd be out of my depth just jumping straight in.

     

    I'll see if i can do a bit of reasearch, it may be Youtube tonight

    Any advice on how I can make a start setting up a budget rally?

     

    Completely new to RC, but a recent purchase of Pro4 SC10 has gotten me hooked. 

     

    Looking on ebay for a chassis just brings up lots of letters and numbers following the word Tamiya.. 

     

    Tips on whats good and whats not would be helpful!
