thanks for the replies have checked everything so far but still none the wiser. I always check that everything is rotating fine and regularly clean and grease so cant understand... pinions are standard 18T. friend suggested battery might not be able to discharge as fast as the type T motors are draining it???????

Yes i fully ballraced the dagger with the nice teflon blue jobbies so no problem there. any more ideas???

I decided to put 2 tamiya super-stock type T motors into my dagger, my local model shop said i would have to change the standard speed controller or it would melt, but decided to give it a go anyway. The speed controller was fine but the battery packs were mega hot and melted the heat-shrink. Then when i ran one pack straight after another it literally blew one of the cells up!! (had used the pack for 5-6 minutes) Was mister model shop man right about the speed controller is it my cheap speedmind 3000mAh batteries??????

as i have been off the scene for a long time i was wondering if any body could tell me what sort of price i should be paying for a decent barebones avante 2001 and if anybody has one for sale!
