Hi looking for a 1/10 tamiya self build kit such as escort cosworth, subaru or similar ideally a tt01 chassis. Don't mind if it's part built as long as all parts are there. Thanks any help would be much appreciated
Yama buggy roadrunner 30cc, flysky 2.4ghz transmitter and reciever, alloy shocks and arms . Its approx 12 months old has had very little use, just add fuel and batteries for transmitter to run.
How long did you run it for ? Have you got a link cable to program esc to see if lipo cut off is on and at the right voltage. I shorted one of my original lipo's by connecting it wrong as it's hard to see and the connectors as they are the same size + or -. But it does sound as if they have been run down to far, were the lipo's warm or swollen ? My connectors where all correct I have separated the bridging cable and added an anti spark connector so it's alot harder to connect wrong.
The car is great, if your running at stock settings 40c lipo's are fine and the thing is as quick as a 5b petrol, but once you alter gearing or punch settings you will need a higher c rating as the esc cuts out when you gun it which I'm guessing is the packs not suppling enough power.
I don't think it's essential to change the diff oil straight away I did it for peace of mind, mine had what seemed to be engine oil in it. The battery box is a pain I cut a hole in the battery box lid about 100mm x 120mm which made things easier and helps keep the battery's cool.
