Update:
Hoping the weather will play nice tomorrow, as I finally have the truck wired up and configured correctly at last (I hate my soldering iron, piece of £40 crap).
Got my truggy shocks, and they are stunning, so much smoother than anything else i've ever owned. Only issue that the 'heavy' springs are softer than do-do, so i need some help;
Anyone have some good suggestions for 1/8 truggy/buggy springs- I like my suspension alot stiffer than normal, so im thinking about using the longer rear springs on my front shocks. They are losi 8t fronts, but Im assuming 1/8 shocks are all more or less identical in diameter, so spring choice shouldnt be too critical.
Looking forwards to the MMM esc, I just need a suitable motor; some A-hole outbid me on the only Align 600xl i've seen for sale in the Uk on ebay, though i could just get one imported I suppose - $99 at RCPlanet. I have however been thinkig about something else, a motor that was suggested a little while back in Sikes thread about his AXIMAXX :
http://brchobbies.com/?page=shop&act...ditem&item=970 KMS 2826/04 1090kv
Almost identical to the AXI 2826/8 outrunner, but its in the UK, so servicing would be much easier if I needed it. Any thoughts, as there is a slower version (2826/05 900kv)- which would be better for 6s lipo, or 7s2p A123 cells?... (bearing in mind my 13lb truck).
Finally, anyone done much experimenting with the cheaper lipo brands, such as
Swang,
ProTech,
Zippy lipos etc. Im trying to avoid the really dirt cheap ebay stuff, but some of the cheaper 3s packs like I mentioned above look really nice. So much to think about....
