Just snapped these real quick. you can see how dusty they are
CR-01 is more of a crawler, and is set up for 4ws, and the CC-01 is more or a scale trail chassis, and is kinda cool cause it has IFS. Hoping to get a taco body on it

Alum frame rails, and has versatile axles. Easy to stretch out or run different shock configurations.

You can also lock either differential by inserting a pin into the pumpkin.

 

clodbuster (desk queen)


blitz (stock)
blitz flux (2s lipo)

 

CC-01



I'll never get rid of either summits tho... Little one is VXL brushless

And keeping the sumo VMX450. Has disk brake, real chain drive, and fast brushless motor I also have dirt tires, but I hate cleaning, so it stays on supermoto duty.

 

So what does the 1/16 take? 540?

Nice Clod! I had a USA-1 a long, long time ago.. But I wanna see them Blitz run!

 

It uses a 380 motor, but mine is already brushless. Some guys run big block 540s tho.

 

I'm pretty sure it's going to be hard for me to keep up with the traxxas crew. My driving needs work.

 

if anyone can believe this, my Savage had a little punch control on it, and start power set to medium from when I had my old batteries.. I took the punch control off, set start power to high, gave it +2 deg of timing, and added .2v to the BEC so maybe it will steer a little stronger until I can get a better servo. It's a beast now

That's okay, I'm an HPI man my E-Firestorm is pretty much the same truck at heart.

 

think i might buy this for my slash.... i need some opinions or alternatives... what batteries should i be looking for?

Ive never used hobbyking before was always buying off ebay or towerhobbies. But by price an specs id say thats a good deal.

 

I have only used hobbyking stuff once or twice, and I wasn't impressed, but that's a great deal for the specs! As long as it works like the sticker says it will, then it will do more than you need it to.

I'm running two of these right now:

Venom 40C 2S 5000mAh 7.4V Hard Case LiPo Battery ROAR Approved with Universal Plug 2.0 (Traxxas / Deans / EC3)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QDZE4G/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They work best in my 2wd because of the top mount terminals, but they work in the Savage. Plenty of power, just the wires stick out the side of the body..

 

I liked my thunder power an tenergy lipos.

 

I use Tenergy 18650's

 

Depends on what motor and esc you are running in your slash. I use cheap batteries, its not like we're racing competitively.
Depending on gearing and usage, and especially connectors, you can ruin just about any battery. I've used Gens ace for awhile, they are pretty good, and have a good C rating. I've been using these ecopowers from Amainhobbies.com. and they are pretty good. Not as high of a C rating, but they're more than enough for a stock slash vxl brushless.

Best batteries I have used are thunderpower, but they cost almost 4x as much. Not worth it to me. Better to have 4 more batteries charged and ready to play!

 

looks like hobbyking doesnt ship to us.... so never mind... i need help finding a good affordable battery... i want mine to move like brandons

 

I have bought many lipos from hobby king. Turnigy nano tech. Pretty good.

 

maybe its my work computer then... ill try again at home. if not ill call tomorrow

 

I think USPS changed their policy last year that they will no longer ship Lithium batteries. Maybe that's why they won't ship? Would have to go UPS or FedEx?

 

I keep having a problem with my hex hubs sticking in the wheels, and the only 14mm locking hubs I could find are $20! So I spent $0.92 at city mill and locked mine





And this is what I'm looking at now..



Row 4 should be +5%, but what can ya do.

 

I just ordered batteries from SPC racing. $32 for a 2s 5000mah. They used USPS.

 

Thanks blane for sharing SPC i just ordered my batteries from them I tried one more time with hobbyking and it didn't work. their loss. Paid roughly the same price i would imagine for slightly similar batteries.
