where did you decide to order from?

Nothing fancy but I am super excited that my last major component has arrived!

It's hard to beat a 4mm plug direct to the battery. This is the connector I made for charger to battery. Notice the banana plugs on the connector; they are fine for charging ( i find) but create resistance in high amp situations. edit: can't add photos right now, but bananas are compatible with the...

Thanks for the heads up on the dimensions, Joey! I'm still a bit torn on the connections. After more snooping around on the internet and looking at pictures of people's cars, I am now back at wondering if a direct 4mm (or 5mm in the case of SMC) is better. In other words, keep the connection as plan...

Thanks, very embarrassed. I was just about to edit my previous post. I see the "other 2" are 6280....Must pay attention.

Well...I wanted to start the build tonight... Step 1: I need 3 #6931 FHPS in parts bag A (actually A2, I guess nested bags are not called and are assumed to be part of the main bag) but only found 1. The booklet states I should have 6, not even close. I looked in the box but nothing. I also looked e...

Here's an example of the bullets...... top pic is bad, bottom is good. Thank you! This is very helpful. I've been trying to figure out the nomenclature when reading the description to the following battery (link as an example only): http://www.smc-racing.net/index.php?route=product/product&path...

Thanks! I wasn't aware that those could be mounted w/o soldering. That's very helpful.

Need some help understanding all of the various connectors out there for the electronics, battery to ESC or ESC to motor. Since I am new, I am not invested down any certain pipeline with exception of having some NiMH w/ Tamiya connectors and some Tamiya motors and their turnkey bullet connectors. I ...

Can you tell me where you got your G2 17/5T combo? I've only been able to find it (concretely) from HW direct. Most others, including Amain have the combo w/ the previous motor or do not concretely describe the motor as being the G2. I'm just trying to figure out the best place to purchase this com...

That is some sexy stuff! I just built a HS re-re (after owning one as a kid in the 80s) getting into the hobby. You have inspired me! Anything is possible.

Looks gorgeous! Really digging the color...

And....do you really have a glass display case for your cars in your house?? God bless!

Received a goodie box today from tower... http://i.imgur.com/97D2fXV.jpg Tires, tires and more tires. 2 extra set of RC10 wheels, one white set and one yellow to go along with the kit wheels. Also got some shock oil to experiment with as well as the JC tire gluing rubber bands (1st bling haha). Only...
