tamiya monkey

THANKS FOR THAT GUYS

the tamiya esc is rated at 23 turns and does'nt like anything above, will cut out alot.

im looking into the possiblilty of changing my car motor and esc's to brushless systems, can anyone recommend a starter set to trial before i take the plunge. next i drive on the beach when i can, how well sealed are the brushless motors, dont laugh but was also woundering about my cars ability to handle the power i have a baja champ, grasshopper 2 and a touareg, is there a truck puller type brushless system not wanting much speed but good torque and maintence free. im guessing the grasshopper 2 would be difficult to keep in a straight line with the extra power but has oil shock front and rear and would be fun. cheapest brussless combo i found is on modelsport link below. any help or advice would be very useful. http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...mp;ItemID=23023

just wondering if it would be worth purchasing a 20t pinion, i run the car pretty stock just ball raced and lock rear diff, has standard rs540sh motor fitted. ive bought this car for the beach but just woundered if anyone runs the 20t. also the rs-540sh motor fitted what does the sh stand for. ive tried looking for tamiya motor info but failed, thought it would be handy to know difference to make choosing the right motor for the job.

thanks for the reply, i have a 14 turn motor with no esc that will run it so thats why i woundering about putting it in my baja champ with a msc. just need to work out witch pinion gear to use with this motor.

i still have one of my cars with a msc, and was woundering what battery and motor these can safely handle before they catch fire lol.

i fitted a cooler no problems on my grasshopper 2, so should be fine.

hi there i had a 4 channel electric chopper, which the wife bought me last christmas. i was really looking forward to getting the little baby airborne. i should have listened to other people and used some training software first, but no not me i was born to fly, as u can guess i crashed it with minutes and would have been cheaper to buy another than repair it. so from now on im sticking to cars. ive seen the heli's with the twin rotor blades that seem really easy to fly and cheap, wish i bought one lol.

hi there nice car, had one not long back, i ran a 14 double in mine and found it very twitchy and went through a badword of alot of front tyres. drive train wise it would handle alot more power but getting it down on the road is the problem.

can anyone assist me in where to get a set of bearings for my newly aquired zaboon, or the sizes required so i can look on ebay etc. cheers guys

many thanks guys, i have managed to find a pdf version manual for this car. if anyone needs it its 3.49mb and can email to anyone needing one. thanks again.

hi all just won a zaboon off ebay, came with a baja champ. i know this is a starter buggy but will be good for the wife to use, was woundering if anyone knew a site that i can download a build manual. many thanks

hi there been looking for ages but now im thinking of trying out a brushless setup in my tl-01 chassis, firstly would this take the extra power, most i have had in there is a 14x2 motor. can a brushless be fitted in this chassis, and what type is best to go for, i dont want to spend a fortune on my first try but want it to be quick. if tl-01 not upto the job what road going car chassis is best suited.

Really the perfect choice would be a sand scorcher but there so expensive to buy, so i need a car thats fun to drive, has good ground clearance and that the motor is placed where i can prevent sand getting in to it as i have kiiled a couple of motors in the past. so unless someone is selling a cheapish sand scorcher in running condition, i would love to hear what u think. also is there a foam filter for 540 size motors.

hi there i use nimh batteries rather than ni-cad and generally go for 3000mah or above, the brand really does'nt mean much to me as i dont race. but you also have make sure you charger is compatable. hope this helps, higher the mah means more run time.

just woundering if anyone makes a 1/10 scale escort mk 1or 2 bodyshell, these would great on a road or even better a rally car. Has the guys at kamtec ever been aproached to make one. I think older cars look much better than the modern clone cars that all lookalike. any ideas on other bodyshells you would like to see. i would love someone to make a range rover shell for my cc01.

just bought a cc01 touareg, but wife sent it to santa so waiting for him to bring it back. like the cc01 as you can run a little faster if needed or lock both diffs and do some crawling, mine will be spending alot of time on the beach.

not had one, but let me be the first to welcome you to the club, look at other members cars for info and ideas for mods and such. hope this helps

woundering if it will be available in clear lexan

Im loving the scorcher clone shell from kamtec, firstly im looking forward to what you guys are going to fit it on, would like to see it on a 4wd buggy chassis, should be unstopable on the beach. Any ideas what other chassis's it might fit.

i had a baja champ using tl01 body posts and fitted a misubishi evo shell and it looked great and went well off-road.

like these alot will order some, will keep an eye on your account for further decals.

im hoping someone may be able to help after last weekend my esc came out of its plastic case and scraped on the ground. and stopped working so here goes, i asked our technical team at work if they could look at it and the say it looks like the esc has lost a capicitor or a resistor on the bottom corner can anyone either have a look at theres and give the rating or a photo if possible or does anyone have access to a circuit diagram of this esc. LRP AI PRO REVERSE DIGITAL. i have posted some photo's showing where the damage is.

i have been using nero vision, comes with nero 7 premium. this allows me to convert to what ever format then can use on movie maker. i have saved in mp4 format acouple of times, get great quality movies with low file size, does anyone else use this format.

hi all has anyone made a caravan just for laughs thought it would be fun. also any advise on making trailers including towbar attachment for the cars.
