  1. i nearly purchased the tamiya subaru brat, but stopped myself because i wanted to check if they can fit a typical lipo battery with rectangular shape. will it fit the standard lipo battery or does it have to be the rounded nimh shape
  2. i have an honest question. i am starting to build the bbx now, but im at the point of the electronics. im trying to decide if i should use some left over stuff or if i should use my "good stuff" my question is, is this buggy really good or good for a tamiya? i say that with full love of tamiya. i suspect this buggy will never be a good racer, and im not looking for that, but is it a really good basher?
  3. i just noticed the box says low profile servo. will a regular servo not fit?
  4. what motors /spur/pinion are you guys running?
  5. i have a 17.5 motor that im going to use for the bbx. is the stock gearing the bbx kit comes with good for 17.5 without overheating or other issues?
  6. i contacted them today and they gave me attitude saying read the note at the top of the page. then i emailed them and they said it just arrived and it will be shipped in the next few days. im so sick of being treated like a jerk. it looks like i havent been charged yet
  7. i see that horizon hobbies says the bb01 bbx is in stock, yet i still show on my order as backorder. the chat is useless, its just a form to get them to email. nobody comes on and they dont respond. there is no phone number either. im getting annoyed now
  8. not really the same, but i bought the traxxas trx4 blue f150 instead. for some reason, i didnt want to buy different batteries for one truck. instead i spent twice the money on the truck and on ec5 connectors instead of buying the blackfoot. my logic is really flawed. i like the trx4. its my second one. i also have the 1979 bronco version.
  9. does a regular hard case lipo fit in the blackfoot? or does it require specific packs that match nimh packs
  10. has anyone used orca esc? I typically use hobbywing for my cars/trucks and have really liked them. however, last night i found this 200w esc, with 950a peak. has anyone used this, and if so, how does it compare to say a top line hobbywing esc https://www.rcmart.com/orca-oe1-2-200a-pro-2-4s-competition-brushless-esc-es22oe12-4c-00123336?search=orca&sort=p.price&order=DESC
  11. Not sure if you want to go this way, but the traxxas, and some others, and optional open/closed diffs on a servo switch. i have it on 2 different trucks, its neat
  12. the wheels and tires fit the cc01 kit ok. there will be rubbing if the wheel is all the way turned and fully compressed. my thought of putting the fj body on the cc02 is busted. the wheel base is fine, but i got the pre-painted body version and the holes are already drilled. if i move the post outwards, they look like they would fit, but tamiya didnt make it so you can flip because there is a single screw with a pin. flipping it around to make it wider causes the pin to have nothing to hold onto. i guess i could glue it or something, however after finishing building the cc02, im not sure its a lot better than the cc01. im going to give them both a long drive and see, but the steering upgrade i bought for the cc01 isnt here yet oh well.
  13. both the wheels and tires are supposed to arrive today. the cc01 looks like it will arrive tomorrow. my plan is that i will put the fj cruiser body of the cc01 onto the cc02 and put the cc02 body on the cc01. assuming they both fit. they are both pre-painted bodies, so i am not messing with the holes. from what i understand the fj body should plop right onto the cc-02 as that model of cc01 has the same wheelbase as the cc02. i did order the bearings and steering upgrade for the cc01 and i also got the bearings for the cc02. i guess i will see which i like better. the fj cruiser is my favorite truck, so if it fits, the fj cruiser body will go onto which ever kit i like more, the cc01 or cc02. the wheels and tires will then go onto which ever kit the fj cruiser body goes onto. UPDATE: Both the wheels and tires and the FJ Cruiser arrived today. Quite the surprise. i wasnt expecting the FJ today. its really nice. i need to hurry up and finished building my cc02 now
  14. i looked in my stash and i have an original 1080 quicrun with program card that was never used. its not the new g2 version, but the realistically i am not going to notice a difference with what i am doing based on the update description i am going to pick up the quicrun 40t motor though. will the stock pinion and spur gearing be ok with the 40t or do i need to update it as well?
