I was looking at those new My laps PT's and they are tiny. One should easily fit inside the RX box with the rx. Looks like this guy is going to be ridiculously clean as far as wiring.

I got the two 3s hardcase lipos from hobbypartz last night. Pretty nice aesthetically wise. Will test this weekend and find out. Also get some pictures up tonight.

I can't wait till the outdoor season. This one will be pretty competitive.

Got the batteries soldered up tonight. Reset the MMM on the laptop and got everything set to run. Went outside, plugged in the pack flipped the switch and puff. My final MMM is now dead. Kind of pissed me off but it is all part of the hobby. It had a good life in my eyes.

Placed a order for the Turnigy ESC. So this guy is dead till that shows up. Looks to be good size, and everything I have read about it should make for a good replacement.

damn that sucks dude, but that's life eh?

Eh, I am still a bit worked up over it, but I will be okay. I liquitaped the guy so I am SOL for sending it off to Castle. I might call them today and see what can be done.

I would probably either blame it on the liquid tape or the resetting I did right before getting everything going. I can't be too sure.

Anyway this Buggy is going to be chopped full of Chinese goodies. Sorry Castle!

Got the HobbyCity Turnigy ESC, pretty much exactly like a MMM in terms of software. One difference is the noise this thing makes, same acknowledgment beeps just like castle except extremely annoying. Otherwise runs smooth paired with the 2650, and seems to run cool, the fan is always on though.

any pics of it mounted up?

reno911 · 03.10.2011, 05:15 PM

Not till later tonight, I usually snap one or two with the phone to upload at work but I forgot.

reno911 · 03.11.2011, 11:23 PM

Notice how I goofed on the black and red + and -

I thought something looked funny, but I didn't notice it till you pointed it out. LOL. That'll confuse some people.....

"HEY WAIT, YOUR BATTERY IS ON BACKWARDS!!!!!"

Yep, I ended up redoing the plugs since it was a tight fit to the battery lead. So I made it a bit longer and corrected the colors.

The weather around here is looking up, so hopefully I will be able to get this guy onto the secret practice track shortly.
