tamiya monkey

Thanks for that matey, let me know how the Core Rc ones fair.

Hi everyone just a quick one, im looking at getting a couple of round lipo's to fit some of the tamiya's where the square ones dont fit, got a few square ones and some small ones in old tamiya hump back battery boxes, so i need two for the odd one where the battery fits through the chassis like my M04L for one. Heres what im looking at Abisma 3000 25c Core 3000 20c Abisma 4200 25c Overlander sport track 3250 30c Nvision 3700 45c All meet what i need performance wise, just after a few recommendations for fitment size, quality and performance please. Thanks in advance.

Ive tried everywhere with no luck, when ive seen them come up on ebay they've gone for silly money, so im loaning one of a friend and looking having one made, has anyone had any luck doing this before, if you have let me know and show me some pictures etc. This topic may help others in the same boat. Thanks in advance.

Very Cool photo's Retro, the track looks great.

Hi mate i just read I have my sand scorcher with the original electronics, and wrongly assumed that you were running an original sand scorcher and not a re-re. Not sure what you issue is fella. Do you have a spare Rx or esc to test.

Hobbyking servo's are cheap and chearful, its hard to tell if the towerpro's your buying are original or knock-offs these day. I use these for basic tamiya stuff http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__16269__HK15138_Standard_Analog_Servo_38g_4_3kg_0_17s.html and if you need a more robust servo with metal gear for scalers or heavier kits then i use these http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__23487__HK15328A_Analog_BB_MG_Servo_58g_12_8kg_0_20s.html

Post a picture of the insides matey, if your using the original mechanical speed controller with modern radio there might be an issue with how its wired or the voltage its sending to your RX.

Im always up for a friendly meet, been all over the country and met some real nice people, We meet at clumber park every month or so and its great to get so many liked minded folk that have such a passion for vintage and modern tamiya's in one place. Be sure to post if you have some suggestions on a location.

Let us all know your thoughts when setting up and how they perform steve.

The rate its showing is the dicharge rate, so at 1amp it would take 4 hours to fully discharge, Same as charge rate, at 1c which would be 4amps to charge would take 1 hour to fully charge a flat battery, but as there rarely going to be flat it never seems to take very long. If your going to be using your batteries every few weeks or so i wouldn't put them in storage mode.

We have three sets of these, had them 2 odd years and found them great value, Rx's are cheap and 15 model memory is enough for most. http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__12181__HK_310_3_Channel_2_4ghz_FHSS_Ground_Radio.html

Hi Stamatis, thats not the esc i was looking at, sounds like its a good one, the truck looks great and very shiny lol. Keep us informed on how it holds out matey.

Had a few hobbywing products before and always found them good, and at that price i would buy a few to try them out. Thanks for posting link.

Well a Ranger XLT makes sense as everything is in production already, Bigwig and falcon oh yes please.

Well im taking the whole collection which isn't that big to be fair. fav re-re hotshot re-re sand scorcher re-re brat re-re cc01 xb pajero blackfoot M02L beetle montaro holiday buggy vintage holiday buggy re-re My kids will be bringing lunchbox hornet cc01 brat traxxas stampede stadium blitzer My brother will most likely bring around six cars too.

Ive now got 4 xt20's and working great. Thumbs up from me.

The last meet was an epic day out, really looking forward to seeing more varied cars out on track this coming meet.

Oh Yeh

Another video from the meet on the 16.03.14. from Uncle Terry. http://youtu.be/WishVRBm9D8

Wouldn't you be better looking for something like the esc out of a e-maxx or e-savage that can handle that sort of power. Looking at the one you have mentioned its 320a rating would be the burst i would have thought, it might run twin silver cans but i wouldn't bank on it lasting long. The Tamiya TEU106BK is for two motors with over 25 turns and max voltage 7.2v.

Still photo's and video from my brother terry yet, he had his Nikon D300 and a GoPro 3 black edition on the day so they better be good lol, no pressure.

Great video John, there is just my brothers video to come when he pulls his finger out lol. Nice one John.

Date for the next meet should be up soon, in the mean time enjoy footage the last one.

Wheelie race video and photo's uploading at the mo and rest of footage of the day will be completed shortly uploaded. Great day.

Excellent meet today everybody, massive turnout. The wheelie race was hilarious. Starting editing video tonight and hope to have it up in a day or two.
