  1. Hi all.

    There is a new SIG called NOTTINGHAMIYA for anyone in the Notts general vicinity.

    I plan to organise a meet somewhere in Notts before the year is out for a good old drive and chat.

    If you're interested in meeting some fellow East Midlands member or just want to show your support please sign up for the SIG.

    Cheers, John


  2. A weight difference in the chassis will affect the braking ability. Poor magnets in the motor will also reduce braking power.

    The TEU101-BK ESC is 100% power forward and 100% power in reverse, and I would also expect 100% braking power to match the reverse power. The TEU104-BK on the other hand is 100% power forward, but only 50% power in reverse. I would assume this would also cut the braking capabilities by half. I really liked the TEU101, it's a shame they discontinued it.

    Welcome to TamiyaClub forums :)

    Mark, thank you, that does make a lot of sense then. I may track down a 101 to try then. :) John


  3. Does anyone have any tips on why braking might be poor with the TEU104BK? I have a Holiday Buggy 2010 with a Sport Tuned motor and the braking is terrible. It rolls for about 2 metres before stopping. I have a rere Hornet with a TEU104BK and it stops fine. I'm wondering whether it's to do with weight? I have a DT02 Desert Gator with a TEU101BK and that also stops ok. I've gone through the ESC setup again and without load, the wheels stop fine. Wondering now whether anyone can recommend an ESC with decent braking? Cheers all, J

    (this is my first ever post so hope I've done everything correct)
