NO! The infamous gold tub chassis! Was something wrong with the gold anodizing?

It was a black t2 chassis wasn't it?

LIke to see a video when you get it done james.

It wasnt gold, It was almost like a black. It looked black from a few feet away, but when you get up close it was a very dark purple, and was all scratched up. I am going to get it anodized next week. Im going boat racing this weekend in Franklin P.A. and its on a lake called One Mile Run, and by there is a huge open grass field, and spots with sand, and a rode, thats not very bussy. I hope averything comes in time. Which collor should i get it anodized? Im not sure all the colors the guy does, but i know he does red, and blue, mabey if does yellow or goldish type of color.

Oops, for some odd reason I thought that they were gold like the original "gold tubs":013: . I'm not much of a AE guy obviously but I do like the gold tubs.

I'd polish it before you anodise it,i like the look of hard anodised the best and it wears better.

Everything came in today, but no one told me i needed some kind of plug that goes from the motor to the ESC, and from the ESC to the battery's. I thought it came with them. Can some one tell me ASAP to everything ill need, how many, and where to get it. I need to order everything tponight so i can know for sure ill have it thursday. Ill post pics later tonight.

5.5mm plugs for the motor/controller (but you can solder them together directly)

and deans for the batteries/controller.

that would be my choice. whatever you do, don't use the cheap tamiya plugs!

James · 05.22.2006, 07:10 PM

What kind of wire?

James · 05.22.2006, 07:52 PM

5.5mm for the MGM 80? I was just looking at it, and measured, and it was 4mm. Is it supposed to be like that?

squeeforever · 05.22.2006, 08:04 PM

The ones that go into the esc are 3.5 I believe but for the motor (if it's a Wanderer) you need 5.5mm from the motor.

Gustav · 05.22.2006, 08:05 PM

You'll need 3.5mm plugs to go to the MGM,you could use the same at the motor end or 5.5mm plugs or direct solder to the motor wires.

12 gauge wire like the deans Mike carries will be fine.

I ordered some stuff and overnight it. 16 tooth pinion, and a 18 tooth pinion, 3 5.5mm connectors, 3 3.5mm connectors, and some other stuff.

I Put the motor in the T2, and i noticed it was really crooked. And it actually looked like the whole trany was crooked. I surned the spur gear, and every few turns there was a tight spot, and some grinding. Im going to take it apart tonight, and check everything out. Has any one had this problem befor?

James · 05.22.2006, 10:12 PM

I fixed the tranny, but i dont know how to use this charger. Its the GWS-MC2002 i got from off shore electrics. I have a super brain 809 i got like 7 years ago, and was wondering if i could plug the 809 charger in to the wall, and plug the two car battery plugs from both chagers into each other, so the suped brain would be the 12V power supply. Is this idea completly stupid? There is als a knob on th charger that sais current adj. (%) then around the knob is 10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90. And a bunch of people told me to get a lipo charger, but i wouldnt trust my self with lipos till im like 18-20. I would burn down my house, or ruin them some how. Thanks for the help
