Your first BL? - 10.17.2009, 04:15 PM

What kind of car/truck and what system? What batteries?

Mine was a rustler xl5 with a sidewinder 5700 system on 2s impulse 3200 lipo. Such a fun truck. Needless to say it got a lot of use.


Get me back into RC!

Mine was a Tamiya Gravelhound DF02 buggy with a kontronik twist55 (5500kV) and a kontronik jazz car 70 ESC.
Batteries were 6S NiMH 3300mAh pushed and matched by hopf.
Were good batteries back then, but still only ~10mins of runtime.
And the Tamiya drivetrain couldn't cope with that kind of power for too long.
I'm still thinking of getting a full metal drivetrain von tobee craft and put the kontronik system back into that buggy after I got it repaired (magic smoke went out the ESC a while ago), but this time with 2S lipos.
Would be fun to shock some of the "nitro is so superior"-guys with my cheapo elo-tamiya

5-6 yrs ago I bought the newly released Associated 18MT with the first Castle Mamba25 and my first Lipo was a ThunderPower 2100 2s that cost me $140.00 !!! OUCH
The truck was pretty cool for what it was, diffs blew constantly but I had fun w/it.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.

I had the original Traxxas Rustler with the 20T Stinger motor and Mechanical Speed Control and went straight to the MM 5700. With the same gearing and batteries (GP3300 6 cell pack) I picked up 10-20 MPH, doubled my run times, and had seemingly unlimited torque. That was enough to have me hooked!


All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
