I just put it in an envelope and put a first class stamp on. Maybe it didnt pass the new thickness test for small letters

Was it you who didn't pay full postage on the package? Got a card here, need to collect something, think it's the pinion.

Going to need a new chassis/motor mount to run it. Don't have time this time but afterwards I'm cutting a new chassis.

Hiya.

Are you thinking of coming to the UK event on 21st of September? We already have a guy traveling from Sweden.

If not maybe you can organise a little (or big!) speed event in Germany. There are loads of guys on here willing to give you a hand.

Best of luck with the car. We are very intersted in some pics.

Cheers

i dont think so that i have time to come to UK on september almost iam happy if my car runs good in september

Here a pictur of my chasis i know it looks terrible but remind its 10 years old and i havent got all new parts yet

u see i use a 2 speed shift-changer

my  Kyosho Spider TF-2


yesterday i have tried some setups and didnt noticed that a real car comes around the corner
the stupid bitch sliced my car very hard and i had to restore the entire front


today i noticed some crazy changes in handling if i steer right and than center it still goes to right a little and same thing if i steer left it still goes a little left. Its still no problem if i drive away from me but if it comes against me its not controlable not only because u have to think mirror upside ..<- is this understandable ?

Lol....I remember running my car in the front of my house and a car car around the corner. I was at top speed and nver noticed. The car went right under the front of the real car and out the back untouched!! The driver didnt even notice.

Looks like you need a bit of restoration there buddy. The linkage is a bit sloppy so thats why you are having the steering problems. Also you get used to it going the wrong way after a few moths driving

the problem is the servo is damaged and has no power to go completely back to center.

can someone help me to find a body for my chasis if i go an incredible speed (its 200mm touringcar)
i talk about 82050 rpm @ 7,2V but i run it on 11,1 if all goes fine so far.
also i ordered same engine twice if it goes not fine Cheesy

The steering problem definitley sounds like a lack of servo power.  A new servo with at least 100 oz/in would help.  As far as a body goes, Vassmar used a stock car style body to get 135 mph:

I strongly recommend the McAllister body. Needs some tweaking but very stable at higher speeds. Many people run the Saleen body too but i havn't tried that yet.

Good luck with your project too Wink

That must be really new as I cant find specs for the 3 turn only the 3.5 and 4 turn.

That looks like a decent combo and with some decent cells that give 60 amps you should be a real contender in the Scale Electric class

Ah found it

It says its rated to 745 watts so thats 1hp. The Scale electric class is limited to 5000 mah 7.4 volts. The cells are capable of 250 amps burst so thats 1850 watts or 2.4hp. I'm sure the motor can handle more power than 745 watts for a short run so should be fine

Are your tires exploding, or is your car just catching air?  If your car is catching air, add some winglets to the front like Vassmar.  It kept his car on the ground.

Check your low voltage cutoff.  If the battery doesnt have the rated C capacity, you could hit the low voltage cutoff that is slowing your car down.  Or your ESC is overheating.
