Brian any chance you could update the RC8 ratio to 4.3:1 (same as SC8 and RC8T)

Also any chance the new Castle Short Course motors will be on the motor list soon?

Also... updates to Tyre Size:

Short Course:

SC8 Stockers 4.49 inch

This could be a problem with my browser, but I just went on the site and the background is updated with a really dark carbon-fiber look, but all the text is black still, so I can't really read anything.

Is it just me that's experiencing this?

EDIT: OK, it looks like the only pages that are doing this are the main page, the top speed estimator, and the speed vs. amp calc. The other pages that I tested look fine, but I didn't check all of them.

Must be your browser. Main page, top speed stimator, and speed vs amp calc all work fine in IE9, Chrome 11 and FF3.6.

Yeah, you might have to empty your internet cache. Most browsers will save copies of the page and then display that instead of what is really on the server. Chrome especially seems to have a harder time "knowing" when the page has changed.

I'm using Firefox 4.0 Beta 12, maybe that's why. I'll try clearing the cache.

EDIT: Clearing the cache fixed it. On a side note, Firefox said my cache before clearing was 1.0GB, can't believe it was that big. What do you guys set your internet cache at? I lowered it down to 256MB manually.

Probably, FF 4 has tons of problems. I'd go back to using 3, or a different browser, until it actually comes out of beta.

Most browsers have a way to clear the cache when you close the browser, or at least an easy one-click clearing method. Either way, it's a good idea to flush it occasionally.

I really don't know why browsers cache so much nowadays. Back in the 56k era, it made sense to help limit bandwidth by not downloading static content, but with today's proliferation of broadband, it hardly seems necessary.

Most of today's sites use static layout but have dynamic content populated from database queries and such. However, my site is almost all static and changed client-side, which is probably why it is more important to flush the cache.

what is the transmission ratio for the slash 4x4? i'm trying to calculate some top speeds, but i am stuck trying to figure out what to put for the transmission ratio. any help is greatly appreciated

[phildogg]

Put 1 since there is no transmission just the diff ratio and the pinion/spur.

[BrianG]

^ Yup.

[scarletboa]

i took a closer look at my slash 4x4 (just got it yesterday) and now i feel stupid. LOL

i didn't even notice the spur gear was directly attached to the driveshaft until i took the gear cover off of it.

thanks for the help

Wow this has come a long ways to what I remembered it.
Very nice Brian!

[BrianG]

Thanks CHC! Although it's been almost a year since it's been updated. With all the E-RTRs out now, gearing is not nearly as much of a concern.

[coolhandcountry]

Well it has been probably that long since looked over here much.
But I like what you have done with the site.
I trying to get back into a few projects just not as serious as used to be.
