  1. Ok i pulled out the book and got the part number i need! i type it into the bay and got no results! can anyone help! i do need stronger parts and have been thinking about getting a jewler to make some for me but that will cost a mint! Tamiya Part number! {it dose not have a tree or parts bag number} 9440061 BEVEL PINION GEAR!
  2. 3amp charge = long battery life. 5amp charge = Punch but shorter life. Basic rules to amp charging. You can also step charge, start at 2amp and work up to 5amp. i have tried step charging but really couldn't feel any diffrence while driving. The voltage Will show higher than the battery normal voltage dont worry much about that. Im a strong beleiver that if the battery isn't warm its not charged! try giving it a slow charge {trickle} and then a Fast {hight amp} discharge. if that dosn't work you may have to give it a hit on the head {ref previous reply} but be very careful!
  3. I'll check MelbRc.org Willy! So because i have a hot brushless i should use Type-Ds? are the tamiya's new drift tires? and last question T-Drifts are they PVC?
  4. A ni-cd or ni-mh will product heat at approx 80% fully charged! And how do you tell someone without a computerized charger to 40% charge a battery, safer to tell them to store fully charged. And plus my Ni-Mh was the worse battery i ever owned until i knocked it on the head and plugged it into a {lab regulated} power supply! trickle charging it did jack! Now its the most power full Ni-Mh i own!
  5. hahaha i had the drift tires in my parts draws for ages then when i finished building my tb-evo i thought they would be awesome, {tamiya and all}. they just mealted in under five minutes! i have just been using Yea Racing Drift tires that are a hard pvc, Hard pvc {i have brought them and made them} is to easy to drift with! i like putting tamiya slicks and drifting its quicker and harder!
  6. on road! GO the TT-01e or the R version but u will need a body. Off road! Go the DF-03. Both good cheap cars and you cant go wrong with whatever tamiya kit you chose!
  7. I haven't use Ni-Cd is ages, Ni-Cd needs a constant voltage to charge and NiMh needs a pulsed voltage. always fully discharge your Ni cad before a charge and always store fully charged! making your own discharger is easy all you need is a car tail light, connector and some wire. Now Nimh you never fully discharge and always store fully charged! follow those rules and you shouldn't go wrong! Sometimes with a new Nimh battery i found that the Delta peak would detect a false peak and would never charge, i plugged it directly into a regulated 12 volt power supply and waited for it to become hot, discharged and repeated a few times and now the swallow charges it no problem. that battery is a LRP 4000mAh NiMh.
  8. Now is the 2200nAh a nicd or nimh? if nicd please read if Nimh dont read the following and buy a good charger! a 2200 should be a NiMh. No that charger will do! back in the day i had a cord, alligator clips one end tamiya plug the other. i would plug straight onto car battery and checked it after 15 minutes. if it was hot it was ready! i did tho forget a couple of times and melted battery's! So be careful. My opion, upgrade to something that has delta peak detection! i use the Swallow 2 and apart from the slow discharge i cant fault it! If the battery if mildly hot! it is charged!
  9. Awesome Lunch box and nice mods! thanks for the help! the third shock looks like a good mod to help performance and the no goofy toe on the front end is the best fix i have seen! I love my Lunchie but i don't know if i can take its goofiness away!
  10. I think type D! the same tires that come with a tt-01d kit! the tires are perfect for stock motor but cant hold up to brushless! have tamiya come up with a new drift tire {super drifttech}? Sounds like the Hpi {dirty word} are the way to go!
  11. I really don't want to improve the goofy suspension because thats one thing that makes the lunchie so much fun. I looked for this lunchbox 3rd shock mod but could not find it! i might just place the brass collar to the screws to help prevent breakage. Any1 with pix of this mod? or the lunchbox 3rd shock mod?
  12. Its not the shock springs but the small springs that keep the swing axel lowered, you find then in the shaft bag {lol i have 3 shaft bags minus thoses spring}. They keep breaking, anyone have any ideas for a stronger spring? I love my lunchie, keeps on going no matter what i throw at it.
  13. I just found that the Hard plactic {pvc} hasn't got any grip like the tamiya tires! i have used r03's before but not with brushless and they didnt last long then! i got my hard plactic tires and rims from RCmart, there the YEAracing ones!
  14. i got a set of tamiya drift tires and tired them on my improved TT-01d {up graded from sports tuned to 5.5 brushless} and they Ballooned and they cooled down in the Ballooned shape after under 5 mins of drifting! Now i have a full set minus one that is totally outta shape! Is this normal? now i running PVC's and they have lasted really good but dont have the same feel as the tamiya's! should i use R03 radial drift tires from yokomo? WHAT DO YOU THINK ARE THE BEST DRIFT TIRES FOR A BRUSHLESS CAR? FEEL VS LIFE!
  15. Im running a 5.5 eZrun in it and yes it was fine! just scared i might injure the old girl. the Prop shaft would have to be the onlt week point, and yes i dont build a car without fully ball racing it! THANKS GUYS.
