So most likely a 12l with aftermarket front end? Anyone else?

Help identifying pan car
Hi, I bought this pan car recently and am unsure what model it is? Any info on it would be appreciated.

RE: Sleepy's T4 Evo
Radio, batteries, and powerplants are the biggest change since back then. The new stuff is great and the prices are alot lower now.

RE: stampede with sv2 castle set up....problems
Spell check anyone?? The problem is your gearing. Its a stampede, you cant run a 24t pinion with stock sized tires.

RE: Best beach basher?
Brushless 2wd buggy or st with paddles and lipo would get my vote. Light, fast, and turn well. I like the e-firestorm. Light, affordable, metal gears, handles well without sacrificing durability.

RE: Rock Racers?
XR10 would require two motors and you probably cant fit a large lipo in there and still have the ability for good suspension movement. Plus it is designed for competition crawling so i don't think it would handle speed well.

RE: ever going dispute electric or nitro?
Ya, same. Either one needs cleaning, I could care less. I'm just a fan of ridiculous brushless/lipo electric power with a reusable power source. A quality nitro engine that tunes well makes nitros far more enjoyable. It's when you get into the crappier side of nitro that it's a pain in the butt. For example I loved my os .18, it rarely needed to be tunes granted the temperature was consistent. On the other hand, traxxas engines have put me through many headaches.

[quote]ORIGINAL: cummins driver [quote]ORIGINAL: Telepathic Telemetry subjective downsides -Â Nitro drive-trains have no engine braking (subjective to whether you race or not) Electric:Â Â technical benefits over nitro -Â no acceleration lag (nitro clutches take time to engage) Â [/quote] Personally I dont like the ''engine braking'' of an electric motor. It makes it less efficient too IMO because you cant coast along without being on the throttle. A nitro also can have stronger brakes most of the time from what I have seen. As for the clutch taking time to engage, I have heard several people use that argument but that clutch will engage faster than you can blink your eyes. Its really not even a factor unless you are overpowering the clutch and slipping it. Eric [/quote] Brushless motors roll alot better than brushed, one of the first things I noted when switching to brushless was how it coasted like a nitro. However, you still get programming options for drag brake if you like, but in your case, you would like how a brushless car rolls.

[quote]ORIGINAL: cummins driver [quote]ORIGINAL: MCSRacing lol a tekin or mamba on 4s is capable of producing as much if not more power than a axial 28[/quote] A 1/10 brushless system will not power a 1/8 scale MT for very long before it overheats or gives out. That is what he was comparing to. The Axial .28 will run an 1/8 MT all day and could care less. People have tried the Velineons in E-Maxx's and they have alright power, but they wont last. Obviously an 1/8 scale brushless system will do fine, but that isnt what he was comparing to. Eric [/quote] You can buy a chinese 1/8 brushless system that will easily power a 1/8 mt for as low as 150 bucks. I've ran two of those setups on 4s without any problem, and they run cool. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a big block mt if i could afford the fuel, but there definitely are affordable brushless systems that can power a monster truck just as well as an axial .28.

RE: ever going dispute electric or nitro?
I've owned 4 nitros and too many electrics to count. Brushless/lipo electrics are the future. Unless you have $30 to enjoy the smell of your car, save that money for some batteries that will last you a year or more.

No need to as the heat transfers through conduction with the metal, to metal contact.

RE: My TNX gasser
Thanks! It does 25+ which I would consider fast enough for a model of such size and weight. Unfortunately it's back to the drawing boards with a few parts which have failed on me since the first few runs. Needs a carb cleaning as well.

[quote]ORIGINAL: Ttam Says Blarg Me personally.. I would open it up. But if you dont know what your doing you can do a lot of hurt to your comp. I had the same thing happen to me on my DV6000. Dont forget the moment you open it up you lose your warranty. [/quote] Mine's a dv6700. So once you took it apart you were able to extract it? I've taken apart and older hp once but that's all of my disassembly experience. Thanks for the info ken. It's only a year old so I'm really not wanting to get a motherboard at that price. If I apply upward pressure on the jack it will charge so I'm crossing my fingers hoping that works for a while.

RE: Laptop charger help
Took the battery out this morning and tried extracting it with a needle and 1.5mm allen wrench and I can't even get the plastic piece to rotate or move at all. This sucks that I have to send it to hp to get such a small problem repaired. I'm guessing they will need to remove the input jack and replace/fix it and most likely I will need a new ac adapter.

Laptop charger help
Hey guys, got a bit of a problem on my hands. You know the plastic tip on the charging jack to a laptop? Well it's stuck inside of my laptop and the charger no longer will charge the laptop. I'm afraid of trying to remove the tip in fear that I can short something. Any ideas how to remove it and if sticking something in there will cause a short? This really sucks, any advice would be great.
