New Guy with a New Truck - 09.04.2009, 12:54 AM

Hey guys as the title says i'm new here to your forums. I recently purchased my first electric brushless set up, with the flux.



I'm not much of one to leave things stock so here's what ive done and what i plan to do.

1) notched and flip the battery boxes, so the deans fits thru better as well as easier to get to the batteries

2) red loctite the pinion

3) Tightened Slipper right down (no play needed from what i understand)

4) Rigged up Velcro for the boxes

5) Install HPI "bullet proof" diffs (in the mail :) )

6) Install TCS 5mm Chassis

7) Install HPI Big Bore Aluminum Shock

8) Install HPI HD DRIVE GEAR 18-23 TOOTH

9) install wheelie bar

10) ordered novak pinions (18 19 and 20t)

11) set it up with castle link

12) Replaced stock tires with badlands.





I Got Zippy 2s packs and a Turnigy 8150 charger from hobby king and so far im fairly happy with it all together. With this all set up it does standing backflips no prob and seems to have crazy power.

A few questions i have tho since im fresh to this electric business is this.
1) why is it that when i charge one of my packs one cell is only 4.05v and the other is at 4.2 (it will climb higher then that if i dont shut it down but i stop the charge at 4.2v. I tried taking the pack down buy putting it into "storage mode" then recharged it tonight and still got those numbers. its on balance charge too. The other pack charged up to 4.2V on each cell perfectly. stayed balanced the whole time. i just want to make sure nothing is going to go wrong to cause big troubles. thanks guys and i look forward to scouring your forums for knowledge.
