Re: Can Lipo batteries freeze?
Lipo's need to be stored in a climate controled environment. If you put them in a cold garage just toss them in the garbage instead as you'll be buying new ones anyway. You WILL riun them. Lipos need to be stored around 7.4 not 50%, in order to keep them working properly. You can confirm this by goi...

Re: Price check, isle 10...
FWIW I just bought a NIB Rc10 6010 for $385 a couple weeks ago. Not too long ago I saw them go for $900 on e-bay. Right now in today's market you are looking at @500+ I would think. I know I would be interested in it as it has been a good time for NIB kits and I've been re-evaluating my vintage coll...

Re: RC10 6010 NIB Cadillac
I was thinking maybe I'll paint up the body and shelf it. Then try to find a new build for display. For some reason I just don't know if I can pull myself to build it. I really envy those that have NIB kits. I'm hoping one day ALL of my collection is NIB kits with either box art or driver replica's....

Re: New Losi 22!
The 22 is maximum ROAR length. Even though its a longer wheel base it looks like it turns on a dime when I watch them at our local track. Evans and Chambers really have them setup well already and are continuing to develop thier setups so they will only get faster

RC10 6010 NIB Cadillac
Scored this the other day. I've had a lot of RC10's but have never hung onto them for that long. I guess I have always been looking for one new in the box and I felt I got this one at a good price. I will probably paint the body as a box art replica or a Jay Halsey replica (Might need to get a hold ...

Konich's Garage (literally)
Not as big as collection as most but all my cars are pretty much mint. I showed my wife some of your setups and I don't think I'll hear anything about my nerd toys for a while :lol: Car #1 6010 RC10 New in the box. Going to paint up a Jay Halsey or box art replica for the shell. Probably won't assem...

Re: JConcepts 1/10th scale ball cups
I ran them on both my B44 and by B4. One of the associated team drivers game me them as he didn't like them on his setup. I ran them ever since on those cars as it seemed to keep the tire camber from changing over the course of the suspension travel. If I was running an associated car I'd definitely...

Re: New Losi 22!
Dustin Evans and Matt Chambers home track is where I race (MHOR RC her ein Denver) and thier 22's are quick, jump well, and look to handle really well. Big bores make a HUGE difference, I have them on my Cougar and its brought suspension tuning up to another level. Pretty soon big bores will be on a...

Re: Venom Lipo
The problem with that is most people are idiots when it comes to Lipo's and blame everyone but themselves. Lipo's need to be kept in a temperature controlled environment, stored around 7.6-7.8v, and kept in balance. I only balance my batteries once a month and they are never that far out of balance....

Re: Venom Lipo
Venom have came a long way. I've used Orion, Racer's Edge, Max Amps, IPC, etc. and like the Venoms. They seem to stay in balance better than others. I don't know if it matters but only 2 companies produce lipo batteries that supply the industry but I'm guessing just like "matched" packs ba...

Re: Venom Lipo
Don't skimp on lipo's IMHO. I run Venom and they have been great. Other cheap lipo's can turn your car into a rolling toaster.

Re: Topcat project.
The Cougar SV rear arms also are swept up at the hub and hing pin mount as well. Not being level may pose a problem for you if you go that route as well.

Re: kinwald durango
We turn 13-14 second laps at our track. So picking up a 1/2 - 1 second a lap will add up. Here is our track, smooth and fast.
