South San Fran, Wed Night crawls

Nice! Double check your chassis. There is a front and rear, looks like it might be backwards. ;-)

Good call, i literally didn't even notice that until you said somthing, i guess i started to drink to early in the build:razz:

I think i got it right this time around LOL

Now i don't mean to take the thread to far off topic here but does anyone have any suggestions for motors and a Lipo?

Depends on what you are looking to spend. You can go with some cheap machine wound motors and use them for a while to let the bank account fill back up or go with some nice hand wounds (Brood, HH, etc.). As far as lipos you can spend a lot or a little. Seems like the elite batteries from cheap battery packs are a good battery for a good price. Right now I am using some cheap hong kong packs but I know that they wont last all that long plus it takes a couple weeks for them to get in. Just measure up the space where you want to put the packs and make sure they are going to fit and wont end up getting pinched and binding up your links or anything like that.

What esc did you end up deciding on?

I went with the 1/10th Castle Sidewinder with drag break and the new version of the punk dig and i have my DX3E that i have to get around to hacking but should work for the time being.

I have been looking at servo's and have had my eye on the Hitec HS-7980TH but i am still looking at a couple Futaba units. Is it worth it to go with a core-less servo?

No need to hack it if you are using a punk dig. All I would do is add a toggle switch in a better spot or two push buttons.

Bout that time again.....building the xr10. Mabey I will have better luck with that...

 

[brownie529]

I think I can go there for some late Wednesday crawling. My work has moved to San Mateo so Genentech is not far for me to go after work. And I could use some more practice with the XR.

 

[SMR 510RR]

Let me know if you guys are going out there whenever...Currently unemployed so I got nothing but time.

 

[bent70]

You missed the last comp.
I might head out there today after work. 4-5

Genentech is easily the best but there is rockaway beach in pacifica. I havent personally been there but I know we had our first comp of the season out there this year.

I will probably end up going out to genentech on Wednesday if it stays dry.

 

[brownie529]

I might come out this Wednesday if I can get out of work early enough.

 

[1997s15]

I went to rockway beach last night, its has alot of variety, I broke one of the link mounts when it tumbled off a rock, if I can get some spare parts by wednesday I will be at genetech, its going to be sunny but windy.

franciscian Hobbies doesnt carry ax-10 parts, whats the closest, sheldons, rc unlimited, or hobby town in concord , anything closer im not finding. talbots doesnt carry these either.

Hobbytown Concord, don't waste your time with those other shops.

 

[1997s15]

Thanks, I will have to make a trip out there.

 

[JeepinDoug]

Allspeed hobbies in SSF.
They have some axial stuff but nothing like HT Concord.

 

[1997s15]

m going to hobby town tomorrow, allspeed doesn't have much there, and the old dude that is there has poor service.

 

[FathomThis]

[brownie529]
