and if they are welded, you can get some kind of solder, that works on it.. Not too hard, don't scare him off Metalman.. ;)

What I am worried about is how to un-do the welds on the battery tabs (if there are any). Ripping the tabs apart would shorten them (and possibly make them too short).

That is why I really hate lipo. They're extremely sensitive and yet very powerful. I found the skyvolts 6400mah at towerhobbies and the charger all for 279-280. Is there anything else I might need beside the charger/balancer?

Is it really necessary to buy the balancer?... Does it really help that much?

I dont really know, but as far as I heared it seems really useful.

I would prefer a balanced set. TP has got this neat balancer, you could adapt your cells so you can balance charge them..

@ mike..
HURRY up with shipping his motor..
I am curious as H what that monster does...

hahaha...

Please do hurry... :)

you guys know where to get custom pinions made.. or specs on the angle of 32 pitch pinions..

if I know the angle I can get one made from hardened steel...

I would like to make a 30+ teeth 32 pitch pinion..

I wonder if my 10mm cvds will hold up.. :)

or would the Supermaxx tranny and idler take this kind of power...?

get a strobe slipper and a RC-monster idler. you can get a 51 tooth spur and a 20 tooth+ idler for that.

I don't know what you mean...

so I get the strobe slipper, and use the idler gear as the spur?...

hmm... that would be awesome if it works....

I seen some one had the 30 tooth pinions in 5mm shaft size. Have to check it out. If i find you want me to pm you aqwut?

yeah... that would be awesome.... Thanks dude...

If I use the Mod 1 gears... it still wouldn't be good..

if I get a 20 tooth mod 1 pinion and 51 tooth mod 1 spur...
it's only a 2.55:1 ratio...

but if I use 30 tooth 32pitch pinion and 60 tooth spur... that would be cool...

I would like 2:1 ratio..

Owh, sorry, i meant pinion...

No, get an RC-monster idler..

IF you running the emaxx tranny in second gear. That is a 1.72 to 1. If you going to try that high of gear may consider a center diff or something.

Cool.. gonna get a 100 teeth pinion.. :)

I found the big pinions.. :)

Hey Mike,
Can the BK 36.120 or 36.150 handle 12 Cells Lipo?...

well my thread was stolen but oh well

btw i need help my SS5800 died and when i turn it on none of the lights show up and it is making like this humming sound the motor shaft is vibrating and the battery is fully charged

Hmmm

That's no good Doahh.. I would contact Novak if i was you..

Either the sinsor or the internal circuit is damaged, but as Serum said, contact Novak.

Novak's pretty good on warranty, when my SS5800 died, they replaced it right away... No problems at all..

well it somehow started working again... weird
and my warranty expired on the 8'th THIS MONTH =(
