it sucks having to run an Associated TC5,I'd much rather be running a TLR product. :shock: Blasphemy! I'll always choose AE over TL. The only time I go TL is: -AE doesn't make an equivalent product (my Mini 8ight and 1/24 micro truggy) -The price is too good to pass up (my MGB and XXX-4) Having sai...

I find this thread rather interesting, as I've had no such issue with any of my buggies or trucks, nitro or electric, "moderately" powered or off-the hook (think RC10GT with OFNA .32 and e-converted GT with 2100KV 42x74mm motor on 4S). Perhaps you're simply not torquing them enough to begi...

^^^^^^^^^ That would be fun, though I have a feeling I'd be quickly banned by general consensus of the other drivers. Can't say I'd blame them. A couple weeks back, we did a little heads up race when there weren't too many other drivers out there. No righting the cars; winner was to be the last guy ...

You can borrow my Savage XL Custom. Pushes 20+ pounds, but it's very quick and nimble... Except the indoor track doesn't allow 1/8 scale. Otherwise, I'd just throw my bomb proofed e801Xt out there and go bowling :) My 1/8 buggy-based SCT is more than capable of knocking around anything else on that...

If your machining your own parts, go for it. I do. I'll have a friend of mine water jet the chassis to save on my cutters, but otherwise it'll all be done on a small vertical mill with a 2 axis vise (tilt/swivel). HI!... You were too nice. I would of walked up to them and told them to smarten up. T...

I'm sure we've all experienced it, but every once in awhile, it goes to an extreme. Such was the case today, when two yahoos showed up, intoxicated, and just had a blatant disregard for both the clock and every other driver. They would completely ignore the time limits meant to allow everyone to run...

I was looking for one for my Mini-8. That Velineon 28x45mm 380 can in the mini 8ight is a beast compared to the stock Excelorin 24x35mm. The mini 8ight is a tad on the heavy side as mini buggies go, definitely benefited from the extra torque. Sensorless, but plenty smooth with a decent 1/10 ESC, an...

Quite literally a little experiment. I just picked up a Losi Mini 8ight, yanked the stock Excelorin 4500 kv system without even trying it and shoehorned a Velineon 28x45mm 380 can and Dynamite 70A 1/10 ESC in it. To put it mildly, that little 1/14 buggy is an animal now. lol. Anyway, don't have anot...

Dang looks thick! Its a tight fit for the grub screw on the gear Yeah, it's 3/8". I don't want to need to replace it. Ever. Instead, we just saw the top two screws shear off on that Turnigy motor. lol. I pulled it apart, clocked the front plate and drilled/tapped it to 3mm, but that motor is j...

Did you make your own electric conversion kit? Yeah, did it kinda different, too. Motor mount uses the stock nitro mount points, and is a pretty hefty piece that supports the motor on 3 sides and uses 4 screws. Battery tray I milled from polyethylene, it holds a 4S pack vertically. I just lobbed of...

Foolish. I dated a lot of girls I was crazy about at 2, 3 weeks. At 2-3 months, I was done. My lady now is the same girl I had dated in high school, 16 years ago. We hooked up again in 2010; been together for 3-1/2 years now, but neither of us is in a hurry to tie the knot. Course, we got rugrats, s...

So why aren't you selling this stuff? I don't have CNC capability, so virtually no capacity for production. These parts are done one at a time on a little bench top mill, and each one is ever so slightly different from the next. Those arms take 4-5 hours each . About 2-1/2 hours on each hub carrier...

Got my rear carriers milled today http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n117/Hunter2506/RC/IMG_20140403_184413_754_zps03a1d310.jpg Damn drill bits kept walking on me, so the camber link mounting holes are all off by a few thousandths, but oh well. At least there'll be no more of this: http://i110.photo...

That being said, I never was a fan of aluminum arms... they seem to cause more problems when the issue is usually driver error. No offence In general, I agree with you. But it is a necessary upgrade on these trucks. If I had the ability to deal in high strength glass reinforced nylon, I would do th...

if I have a more powerful motor, will my ESC over heat? Certainly can. Remember, too, that what we're talking about above is all brushless stuff; your current set up is brushed. Some brushless ESCs can drive brushed motors, but a brushed ESC and a brushless motor does not work. As for power levels,...
