    Knock off deans ?

    I am with frddyj on this one. If you aren't in a huge hurry and would rather save a dollar or three, you can order then at HeliBuy, $10.99 for 10 pairs. Mine came to $14.68 with shipping from Hong Kong. If you have to order locally, then amain has the best price in the states that I have found...

    Duratrax Ice charger & LiPos question.

    But 2S and 3S cannot be connected in parallel as there is a one-cell voltage difference. Correct me if I am missing something though.

    Duratrax Ice charger & LiPos question.

    I bought a DuraTrax IntelliPeak ICE DC Competition Charger a couple of months ago for my NiMH batteries and have been pretty happy with it. But converting to electric and LiPos, I am beginning to see some shortcomings with this charger. For one, it doesn't balance. I would love to have the...

    Seeking help with gearing and battery...

    Sorry, I can't seem to find my "kicking myself in the a$$" smilie.... I knew the different mAh rating were throwing a mental flag for something, but I glossed over it to hurry and get the order in.

    **EDIT** DANG! No edit button to cover my stupidity. I ordered the 5000mAh 2S and 6000mAh 3S LiPos. The 6000mAh 2S is out of stock.....

    Seeking help with gearing and battery...

    OK, thanks guys. I ordered a Turnigy nano-tech 5000mAh 3S 25~50C LiPo Pack and a Turnigy nano-tech 6000mAh 3S 25~50C LiPo Pack. (The 6000mAh 3S is out of stock at the moment. I will order it later so both packs will have the same mAh rating.) So I will run these and see how they do. Perhaps I...

    If I could trouble you one more time, would you have a preference between these two? Turnigy nano-tech 5000mah 2S 25~50C LiPo Pack ZIPPY Flightmax 5800mAh 2S1P 30C I like the Hyperion, but I just dumped over $500 on this conversion and it hurts to think about spending $200+ more on two Hypers...

    Great, that is what I needed to know. Thanks freddy, I really appreciate the clarification.

    Seeking help with gearing and battery...

    That was the biggest concern. Fire/smoked ESC = BAD! I will order a 20t pinion and a 44t spur and go from there. I will also go back and run the numbers on that calculator again. For some reason my results came back with about half that speed.... Weird. Also, you say the 5000mAh is plenty at...

    I have a 2-month old Savage XL Nitro..... sort of. Currently I am running Innovative-RC LCG Extended 6mm front, 1" rear TVPs, center tank mod from IRC, Axial 40-Series Beadlocks, and Proline 3.8 Trenchers, Boca ceramics, etc. I am making the switch to the Tekin 1/8 RX8 Brushless System with...

    LRP Z28 won't idle long...

    I should probably be using that avatar as well. hehehe Thanks for the explanation, makes perfect sense. I will start mic'ing bits and shoot for 0.5mm +1 hair and start tuning again from there. Thanks again Robin, much appreciated.

    LRP Z28 won't idle long...

    I thought some jerk was playing off your username, then realized you changed your avatar when I saw your sig. I will try to gauge that first before doing anything else. One question about that that I haven't seen addressed before.... When inserting a 1mm gauge rod into the throat of the carb...

    LRP Z28 won't idle long...

    I will try that. Initially, the temp would climb a couple of degrees every 3 - 4 seconds when idling, and I had never touched the LSN. So that is the reason for the rather large adjustment. But I would much rather be rich than running too lean and damaging something. But I guess that goes...

    LRP Z28 won't idle long...

    I am using a 250cc Ofna tank with an IRC mid-tank kit, an LRP Z28 and an Ofna 086 pipe. I am having a bit of trouble figuring out why the engine dies after idling for 30 - 45 seconds even after running for a while and being at operating temp. I noticed that the temp would climb slowly at idle...

    Savage Suspension conversion .....

    I failed to mention it, but Scooter is definitely right with regards to the dogbone lengths. I shimmed my diffs and no longer have any side-to-side play at all. I had to be really careful and make sure I left the o-rings out when I assembled everything. As far as concerns about the strength of...

    Looking for size of Axial Beadlock ring bolts

    Crap! No edit button. Anyway, I went to RTL for my bolts and have been very happy with everything I have received thus far. They are Grade 12.9 and seem very well made.

    Looking for size of Axial Beadlock ring bolts

    Thanks maxi. I scoured Axial's site yesterday before I posted and Google'd without much definitive success. I was already putting together an RTL order and wanted to get them on there with the other stuff. I really didn't even want to post and tag myself as a dufus for having them as it seems...

    Looking for size of Axial Beadlock ring bolts

    I have a set of Axial 40-series beadlocks and only had one spare bolt for the rings. I used it Sunday after glancing off of my neighbor's fence and bending the head of one. I am not home at the moment and want to place a fastener order this morning. But, I am not sure if the socket head cap...

    Savage Suspension conversion .....

    Actually, fair was the incorrect term to use in my post above referring to their shipping. Their shipping is free on orders over $100. Just sayin'.
