Thanks, no I have full throttle control and ESC is working fine I just meant that the battery seems fully charged even though I've had them for a couple of years and never charged them but that's probably because they have 7.35-7.38v stored in them. Perhaps I'm not use to the power increase from a L...

So I'm trying to charge up my 3800 and 4000 mah, 7.4V/2S lipos for the first time before the race and not sure what to do/how to cycle them so I figured I'd ask rather then risk a leak/explosion. I never used lipos before. I'm using a new Imex balance charger that can charge any type of battery and...

Good question, and how early can we get there on Saturday to register/practice?

I think he meant he might also know pro-drivers thanks to his magazine job but I guess he'll clarify.

- Finally the question about factory drivers. There has been a commitment by Associated to send Brian Kinwald so we look forward to having him come out to race this year! 2WD guys you certainly have your work cut out for you this year! I never like to commit anyone to anything but I will say that B...

Is he entering a race or just hanging out?

Not trying to be a party pooper here, but somehow I doubt that traction compound is entirely necessary. Sure, it'll make a difference, but older RC10s have plenty of weight and should generate good grip without traction compound. I've raced at Wolcott a few times with my modern equipment and have d...

Suburbs and Barcodes are the tire to run there in the softest compound you can get. I've been trying to run closed cell inserts for consistency sake but haven't really found the same feel open cell gives you yet. Ions work for 4wd when the track is clean. Whichever tire you choose we heat and treat...

How does everybody set up the torque curve on their ESC initially? I'm thinking of it as an electronic slipper clutch and have set mine to "quick" for a compact dirt track with little if any loose dirt per some research I've done as opposed to "normal" or "mild" for mo...

Quick flash with traction compound and a lighter, spin on.a pencil and watch your eybrows :wink: Most tracks where your heating the tires I've run love slicks, or eh...really really worn down tread Wow, so this is new to me. So, you don't just allow the tires to marinate in traction compound over n...

lol...I know, as far as I'm concerned you guys are legends, for sure! I might be willing to drive further and further for these races if I enjoy the VONATs this year but I draw the line at getting on an airplane in order to go. I've been watching a lot of the 2013 VONATs videos on youtube (checked ...
