Anyone into R/C?

Going crazy

 

nope, was bought off a guy on rcshortcourse used....prob go with a tekin rx8.

have to do a little research. has to work with my Novak Ballistic 550 4.5T motor

 

I don't see why not, the RX8 is one of the better ESCs out there

 

Finished upgrading mind before to snow flew. Just put a 29.5 +5 mm stroker in my 1/5 scale. 30 mph

 

Sent it back, I've had one swapped out by them that wasn't bought new, I'm telling you the're pretty easy to work with. I'm not saying don't get the Tekin, it always has been great stuff, but don't just trash the Novak unit, you never know. Hell, if your gonna chunk it, I'll pay postage on it for it, and I'll try them.

 

Haahaahaahaa

 

A friend of mine just brought me a 3.3 TMAXX and 3.3 JATO that have been sitting for about 3 years. Brought a gallon of nitro and told me to run it through them.

 

Wow the MT4 is complex!!!!!!

 

EZ-Start motor on TMAXX is burnt up... Damn.

 

Also, on the Jato, I took of the glow plug wire and used a glow plug igniter. Once I get it started it'll run for a little bit and then just shut off. I think the fuel mixture is way off. It was super-rich so I leaned it out a good bit, that seemed to help.

Then the battery for the ez-start went dead... Dammit. Try again tomorrow with plenty of fresh batteries.

 

Shocker!!!

 

I know dude. I hate this EZ-Start traxxas bullshit. I'm getting paid to get them going AND play with them. It's worth a little headache, I guess.

Me and a couple of buds went out to the track today and watched some racing. Couple of guys I didn't know were lighting it up pretty well. Some others that were there, (I've known for years) won 1st and 2nd 1/8 buggy, smoked all the gassers, the guy that got second, got first, barely, a great race with a gasser in 1/8 truggy, not even sure where Brycen finished that race. Willie kicked every bodies ass in 10th scale buggy. Hell, I guess I'm going back next week and try my luck, after swearing this track off.

 

Sweet, I'm waiting on parts to finish my 450 clone. Could you give specs on motor and speed control. How long you been doing helis? You fly planks at all?

 

scorpion 2221-8 motor 3595kv castle ice 50 esc.

been doing heli's since aug of 2011

planes no too easy

 

I've got a older Alien T-Rex 450 from a bud, can hover half ass. Building this clone on the cheap (Chinese stuff) to try to learn on, got a 3750kv Turnergy out runner, and 40amp Turnergy ESC coming. Started flying planes in Dec. along with coaxial helis, went to FP helis, and yeah, I'm no pro by any means, but planes are relaxing, fairly simple. The heli thing races my motor.

 

The hardest form of RC on the PLanET!!

 

My dad came out today and he brought his stampede vxl, I got my slash out and we went to a gravel pit and messed around. We were both running a 40c 5000mah 2s lipo, he was blowing my slash away in every aspect, what can I do to be able to get my slash to run like his stampede? I dont know if a gear change will help or what I should try changing to, I just wanna be able to keep up with him next time we run together.
