The end of my 2020 Chevelle DS project. She has been finished in silver with black stripes. I finished the paint on the night of the 31 and decals were finished right after on the 1st. A nice transition to the new year. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50786121542_299f9f231a_b.jpg https://live.s...

Hello, my name is Todd and I'm an RC10aholic. My entire RC Hobby life has been focused and revolved around Tamiyas. The Tamiya Astute was my first RC, followed by an Egress, Monster racer, and finishing up with a Too Force. That's was it, shortly after the Top Force I discovered girls real cars, col...

NEVER shoulda thrown them out!!! :roll: I miss that stack more than Luke Duke missed his "ten years wortha car magazines" that were in the outhouse when Bo blew it up with the explodin' arrow Well I guess technically Luke blew it up. But his ding dang cousin put the real dynamite on the a...

correct....i would think 12 gauge would be ok

can the esc handle 8s?

12 gauge is probably fine as mentioned. be sure to heatshrink and insulate every thing very well. a short circuit anywhere there could cause major issues.

Yeah that will stress the cells unfortunately. They will have a fairly different internal impedance. You should match the cells, and then balance charge them as an assembly if you can.

What will happen is the weakest most resistive cell will get heated up.

Deans got a bad rap because most of the “deans” connectors you see today are Chinese knockoffs and they melt. The ones on your awanfi will be Chinese knockoffs. I haven’t seen a real deans have a meltdown, but the knockoffs are junk.

Also noticed there's lots of Deans connectors haters out there, what's up with that? What's everyone running for battery connectors these days? IMHO, there is nothing wrong with a Deans connector. I think the problems that most people have link directly back to poor soldering skills. Then throw in ...

Chinese Deans are the problem, and like Jeff said real Deans plugs rarely have any issues. Like also mentioned a lot of problems stem from poor soldering and bad connections.

Hello everyone,
Seeing if anyone has tried to use this product line to refinish a well used tub.
