    What's inside a $100 servo

    My brand new ACE 1015 failed today at the end of my 2nd tank of fuel. Suddenly went locked full left and started twitching. It will still turn right, but doesn't center anymore...screwed something internally. Thing is I didn't crash or tweak the servo for it to be trashed already. So it...

    Converting a PC power supply

    I'm going to put up a how-to even though I sell these...for those brave enough to give it a try. What you do is buy a high-watt PC power supply and convert it (cost will be about 1/3 of the higher amp power supplies available of similar current rating). They're switching power supplies so...

    Servo comparison

    I haven't seen or heard of a good/thorough servo comparison as of yet...so I'd like to start one, compile it, and then make a sticky out of it if the mods/admins agree. I'll take care of compiling the list if people will chime in and give me/us input as to which servo's they've used and...

    Radio box upgrades

    Well this time around I was thinking about my last upgrades! I put (2) leads on my battery packs one for charge and one for Rx, but never thought about removing the radio box lid. I was always stuck leaving the lid dangling while I worked. So I did this. Now I'll be able to leave the...

    New Era shock tower install

    Well here it is...man New Era shipped the towers to me in (2) days. That's smokin' fast! The install was quick and simple...I was able to get to all (4) screws without fuss. I can see now why the price is so low on these shock towers...the machining is marginal. Some edges are rough and...

    Time for a shock tower upgrade!!

    Well I was looking recently to upgrade my S-25 shock towers to aluminum because I noticed that they flex *way* too much for my liking. Last night while taking pictures for a friend I saw this...check the shock tower. Also I need to mention that this is *not* an illusion. I put a straight-edge...

    Anyone look into blending their own fuel?

    Since there seems to be a problem with nitro supplies and fuel went up on price locally by a good bit I was wondering to myself how hard might it be to blend my own fuel. My bro races kart so getting methanol (alky), and nitro should not be a problem. The only thing I had to do was work out...
