Afternoon, I am posting in relation to an application I am completing as the final part of my Degree in Software engineering. I am hoping to gain the views of the RC community as to what features you would expect and/or like to see in an application of this type. This is to allow me to gain a list of end user requirements to incorporate in the design and production of an RC engineering application. My intention is to build a mobile/web application, on which the user can record current vehicle specifications and performance statistics, allowing the user to track the progress of each build and how each modification impacts upon vehicle performance. · Each build would have a unique label · Ability to upload an images · A form in which users can document the elements of the vehicle, including part type, material, weight and in respect of electronics there would be additional options to record the attributes of components used · Store data for each run including the date, location and GPS result · View a performance chart created primarily from speed run data, displayed as a line graph, providing the user with an overview of their progress to date. The user should be able to access build data on demand using the unique identifier/label, with the ability to download as an appropriate file type, print or share. The application could also include a news element where users achievements can be displayed and an events section where upcoming events can be advertised, and users can arrange informal ‘bashing’ or more formal ‘speed runs’. Additionally, I would like to include the ability for users to access repair/upgrade ‘how to guides’ and connect with other users to share their expertise and provide support to one another. This is a general overview of what I intend to deliver and as stated previously would like to gain insight from the RC community to provide a more bespoke application. Many thanks David

I have a mainly stock arrma limitless running the arrma 6s esc and motor, harvested from my kraton 6s (v4), with a 30 tooth pinion and a 29 tooth spool that should be arriving any day now. I’m planning to run it first with two 55c 4500mah 3s batteries, and am planning to get some higher discharge batteries. What speed should I expect from a set up like this? Thanks in advance for any help.

NOW SOLD ~ For sale here is my Castle Mamba Monster 2 Retro ESC. This is 2-6S Lipo capable and is ideal for anyone doing speed runs with their RC's. This has seen very limited use of maybe 10 runs or so as it was more of a back up ESC (I have two MM2's). These are hard to find generally being the "Retro" version and the MM2 it's self is more of a rarity here in the UK. Would suit predominantly on-road 1/8th buggies, truggies and monster trucks (up to 15lbs in weight) but you could put it in whatever you feel suitable. Please do your research and make sure you're happy it will work for your application before buying. This is used but I have tested it this afternoon and all works as it should (have video if needed). Any questions please feel free to ask. Comes fitted with 8mm bullets as that is what I use but easy to swap. I can remove them for buyer if preferred. Also comes with a printed copy of the "Quick Start Guide". Full manuals available online. Castle Link adjustable settings include: Throttle Braking curve Drag brake Auto LiPo cutoff Punch Control Reverse Type Motor Type Happy to accept questions/offers but I think it's a fair price for this ~ Price is £100 which includes; PayPal fees (@£3 odd est) and Royal Mail 2nd Class Signed For delivery (@£4.20 est) PayPal payment preferred please. Normal forum etiquette please call "Dibs/PM sent" or "I will take this" to be considered first refusal and be transparent to other members followed by a PM to myself to discuss. Thanks for looking.
