Baddon 860 Posted December 23, 2017 Got the paint today for what will be in my Christmas box. Decided to paint my Bush Devil 2 in Scooby blue as my son is going for box art black and silver. Anyone have a link to scooby rally car decals (the yellow ones) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THANK YOU, that certainly changes the look of the spare tire, can’t remember anyone else posting one up like it, but then I forget a bunch of things these days.

Sammo 479 Posted December 25, 2017 Not today obviously but last week these arrived Spotted them being sold as a job lot on eBay. I don't know if they were listed badly or if nobody was buying so close to Christmas but I somehow managed to buy them (including postage) for less than I paid for the second FF01 Rolling chassis I bought a while ago So what are they? Well I've managed to bag myself a TL01 with no shocks. A well used TA03. But my favourite out of the three. Another FF01 (with no shocks). In mint condition no less From what I can see this one has never been run! Not a mark on it. The three side by side Chances are the TL01 and TA03 will go back on eBay in the new year as I have no desire to keep them, and no space for them either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worst discrepancy was 0.03v I've only cycled 2 packs a couple of times so far but they worked great. That was a 5200mah 2s hard case and a 3000mah 3s soft case. And like I'd hoped, the latter ones just about fit into legacy battery compartments with enough space for a little plastic from an ice cream tub/bottle or what have you wrapped around for protection. Probably about as high a capacity 3s as you could fit in those old battery compartments. I doubt I'll use them in old stuff for every day use but great for experiments and special occasions. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The makers themselves often say the packs only have a useful life of 3 years but then you get people saying they have decade old packs working fine. I would say just check/cycle them twice a year. Somewhere in the middle of all the various opinions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In theory, if I set the charger to storage charge, it should bleep to say it's charged, or at least only take a few minutes to top them up. Ideally I should be using the things!! 🙄 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
