[Ball Racing]

The only links I can open are the Thundertech ones...

 

[MiRatlhed]

Yeah maybe just write the list out and it would be much easier to help you! Welcome to RCMT. :tmb

 

[BlueIce12]

Yeah the link are not working only a few are.

 

[bajaboy5b]

fixed it :tmb

You'll want a higher torque servo than that if possible. We offer a 15kg metal gear version and there are others available as well.

CPE Hi-Torque Servo

Everything else looks like you'll have a heck of a Clod when finished!

 

[bajaboy5b]

is this to much power ?

and is the twin 4600s to much? and is there any clod racing in Australia Melb?:wish

No, never to much servo strength. Though if you run a servo saver that might not be as strong as the servo you pick.

twin 4600kv motors will not be to much if you have good throttle control and a large running area. However you will need to be running 40c lipo battery (batteries) to power it. NIMH will not be enough. Nor would anything under 30c.

 

[bajaboy5b]

http://www.venom-group.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=15061 that batt should be nuff 60c twins and how do i set up both ESCs to the same RX? and also i saw somewhere that one of the red wires has to be cut. is it the red wire coming out of the esc becasue it will blow up the RX or something like that is it true?

 

[william g]

some brushless systems you cannot disconnect the red wire. The ESC needs it to operate so check the instructions before cutting anything. Better idea is if you are removing the red is to press it out of the connector.

 

[bajaboy5b]

ok thank u for the help

 

[bajaboy5b]

i am thinking about a new chassis because i think this will be to heavy so what are the specs on http://www.thundertechracing.com/rage.htm and http://www.crawfordperformanceengineering.com/cpetrmcfkit-complete-terminator-race-chassis-carbon-fiber-p-85.html i want the best one lightest and strongest i will just be bashing it but i want the best i mite race if i can find a club in down under

 

[bpare207]

Well considering the TTR rage chassis is listed as out of stock, on their shopping page but they may have a few left in stock. You'll probably want to email them first to check and make sure its still available. Otherwise the Term is your best bet.

 

[bajaboy5b]

i won't be getting it for a few months any way:-( so can i have twin batts in the term?

 

[bajaboy5b]

yes i will get the Terminator looks better too :bling

 

[oxide80]

i was running dual batteries in my terminator for a while, All i did was place them running two 6 cell NiMh's front to back under the radio tray and zip tie them down. The radio tray has notches cut in it for this.

 

[bajaboy5b]

ok thanks :tmb

Nah, you can get away with 25c with 37c burst capacity. Is it ideal, no but perfroms decently for the price.
