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!

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!

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?
-
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!

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!

Spec Me A Tamiya For My 5.5t Brushless
meanmaddude69 replied to Prescient's topic in General discussions
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! -
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.
-
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!

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!
-
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!
-
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?
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!

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.
