Oh **** I had no idea about that. Sorry about that man. I knew the pull starter had the wrong screws in it but I thought that was the worst of it. Did you get it running in your rs4 yet?

98sikdimelaynbod · 11-06-2009, 06:02 PM

KENNYMO · 11-06-2009, 06:04 PM

98sikdimelaynbod · 11-06-2009, 06:23 PM

Don't be ridiculous...the added weight of NOS and VTEC will slow the car down more than it will help it.

PSYKO_Inc · 11-06-2009, 10:07 PM

Hey ricky what kind of charger would you recommend? My two peak chargers (cost a small fortune back in the day) will only do nicads. Looking for something that will charge NiMH and LiPo as well.

KENNYMO · 11-07-2009, 02:47 AM

i think i am definatly set on mesh rims.

ßɭĬƮƵ · 11-07-2009, 02:49 AM

the Onyx 230 will do all 3 without hurting your wallet...

PSYKO_Inc · 11-07-2009, 03:43 AM

Awesome thanks. Now there's just the issue of all the LiPo fires I keep hearing about

ßɭĬƮƵ · 11-07-2009, 03:45 AM

get a lipo charge bag. do a youtube search, you dont want that shit happening.

PSYKO_Inc · 11-07-2009, 03:51 AM

umm...yeah I think I'll stick to NiCd and NiMH for now

ßɭĬƮƵ · 11-07-2009, 03:58 AM

too much crap to deal with. and the batteries are expensive...

PSYKO_Inc · 11-07-2009, 04:10 AM

When there's a specific product to keep the battery from burning down your house when it catches fire...there's a problem

Also, I'm seriously considering saving up for a little while and picking up an Ofna JL-10 GT kit...

ßɭĬƮƵ · 11-07-2009, 04:19 AM

Ofna's are cool but most local shops dont carry parts for them...

check this one...

S10dude · 11-07-2009, 09:25 AM

very good brand and the Novac brushless is top of the line motor brand , just add lipo and your off the hook !
lipo's are very sensitive to draining below a certain voltage limit , and never try to overcharge a lipo.
THEY EXPLODE AND CATCH ON FIRE!..................

KENNYMO · 11-07-2009, 03:12 PM

you have to have the bag to charge it at the track anyways. so if you plan on using one at the track you might as well just get the bag

ßɭĬƮƵ · 11-07-2009, 04:18 PM

better just to stick to NiMH, there cheap enough and you dont have to do a bunch of crap to charge them...

lows10blazer · 11-07-2009, 04:30 PM

so i got my lipmthnoid for my flux capacitor chraged and twisted then pulled out inside out, it should give me alot more turbotron boosting
