rc car lovers?

[kawasakirider]

Have had:
Hyper 7

Savage 25 LE 3 speed

revo with picco .26, all Tekno upgrades, hitec 5995 single servo conversion, slayden steering mods, FOC, roto start conversion, that was my favourite, was so easy to backflip and was so torquey, it would lift the front end when it changed into second. I ripped the TRX 2.5 out as soon as I pulled the revo out of the box, lol.

I had another one with the above mods But an RB323, nice car.

Now I have a fully set up Jammin 1/8 truggy with a BCE titanium chassis, all king heads and dace mfg parts and enough spares to build another car and brushless TC5 set up for countersteer drifting, I want to sell both.

Wouldnt mind a new Losi 5T with a locked CD or 2 speed (only a matter of time before someone makes a 2 speed) and an OBR 30.5 or skopod 60.... 4wd, wheelies, back*****, 1/8 style chassis for strength - ultimate car

I'll post pics up later.

Have you changed your pipe or any other upgrades. If I do get one I'll probably make a few upgrades. I'm a bit of a speed freak so stock doesn't really float my boat.

Yeah the only stock item on my baja 5b would be the pin to hold the rear wing on haha , my pipe cost a bit but well worth it

Love RC, I have a brushless associated B4.1. I like off road but I enjoy BIG jumps and brake to many parts. I want to get more into the on road stuff. However I wouldn't mind a truck for bashing about.

Raced onroad for about 13 years, but got too political where i raced so sold up. Nothing beats a 1/8th nitro onroad for me, especially at Moorebank in nsw. Full noise into a big sweeping right hander that tightens into a hairpin. Get it right and its an awesome feeling, get it wrong and pretty much destroy the car into the chainlink fence around the track

surname sounds familiar, i only raced the bigger events there, not the normal clubbies.

 

[dylan-rocks]

ok fair enough lol.... he use to race the 1/5s if that helps :/

 

[kawasakirider]

1/5ths? Must have been an FG or something.

Hey guys, just wanted to Hijack this thread a bit. Got my 5yr old a cheap HSP electric RC truck off ebay and had a question re batteries. It came with a 7.2v, 1800mAh with a wall charger. How long does it take to charge, as it doesn't say in the instructions?
It also says not to put a battery bigger than 3600mAh in it. i've got a 4600mAh, what risks are there of my using this bigger battery?
Is it worth getting a fast charger and how quick do they charge?
Once again its for a 5year old so he may loose interest in a week

Cheers for any advice, Chase

 

[dylan-rocks]

Not sure, try hitting up one of the rc forums... There is plenty out there

what rating is the wall charger [ at a guess its around the 600mah]

Need to find out how many amps the wall charger charges at. The higher the amps, the less time it takes. There could be a heap of reasons it says to not use bigger batteries. I would think the speedy can't handle the higher amps? Not to sure.

I would have thought the discharge rate of the battery would have been the limiting factor and not the mAh of the batteries. If the batteries have a higher discharge rate then it'll posibly cook the motor (as dadaman said, it proobably can't handle the amps). Physical size of the batteries could be an issue, but if they are both 7.2V then that shouldn't be an issue either. Send HSP an email and ask for some clarification.

Also, with the charger find out the speed that it charges at and devide the mAh by that number. That'll give you the number of hours it takes to charge. e.g. If it charges at 600mAh as suggested by JAS101, then it should take 6 hours to charge a 3600mAh battery pack.

risk are it can damage the motor and the speedcontroller you will find 99.9% of hobby shops wont stock the motors for HSP's.

also! anyone got a rustler vxl? & if soo what mods have you done to it?
ive got one that has 11.1v LIPOS in it, & i was amazed of the speed it had! its insane!

TC5

Truggy

Revo with the RB

Revo with the picco

Can't be bothered digging up pics of the heli, the hyper 7 and the savage, maybe later. The TC5 and Truggy are FS.

 

[Raddy318]

Nice cars mate!! do you shop online? or you got a local hobby shop you go to?

 

[kawasakirider]

Always shop from the US, mate. When the exchange rate is good, even though you pay a ridiculous amount for shipping you still come off heaps better.

A lot of Aussie shops don't know anything about the good brands either, they try to push HSP and Great Vigour which are absolute crap, lol.
