hmm... i'll think about it, money's a bit tight now thanks to the damn US>AUD exchange rate.
and a quick update. I changed the gearing to 46/12, so its now geared for around 58mph without any tyre ballooning. the extra speed is really awesome and it sounds like a jet when it comes past now, im thinking of making a kind of splitter from a crt.5 wing for the front, as i can see it starting to lift. I was quite surprised, the truck seems to run better at this gearing, the motor and batts are cooler, with the frequency of the MMM fan coming on about the same. Mind you its been cooler here the last couple of days. I took it out this morning for a run and the temps were:
motor: 100-110 (got upto 140 right towards the end after 5-6 speed passes)
batts: 80-90
ESC: 110-120 (fan kept coming on, but went off after about a minute, same old story)
The only trouble im having now is keeping the tyres on the rims, last run i pulled the bowties off of the Wabash's. i reglued them really well, so this morning only half of one of the fronts came unglued
Unfortunately i dont think there'll be many updates on the truck from now on, im going to strip it down and clean it in the next couple of days, as i leave for 'college' on wednesday. Probably wont run it until June when im home for holidays. Any tips for storing the lipos for that long, they are at about 60-70% charge now, i was just going to leave them in the liposack?
