[quote]ORIGINAL: nitrovulcnse [quote]ORIGINAL: ThunderbirdJunkie [quote]ORIGINAL: srt10 oh maybe they are getting a kick back from Apple?[:-] [/quote] It'd make sense, since Traxxas is the Apple of RC. Or Apple is the Traxxas of computers? Hmm. They were both founded in the 80s...they've both had tumultuous ownership changes...they both charge more for inferior performance, compared to their competition... Crap, maybe this was more accurate than ThunderbirdJunkie intended[:)] It's an interesting car, and ThunderbirdJunkie could SEE owning one...it's cool. Buy the car, sell the servo, radio, and batteries...gear it properly for 4S, and have a fun parking lot basher. [/quote] Apple was founded in 1976. their products are not inferior in any way and if you actually looked into it, you will find that configuring a PC to the same extent as an equivalent is just as expensive, and that is not including a great operating system (unless you are running a linux distribution), and it would be mounted in a crappy plastic case unlike the high quality well engineered aluminum, magnesium and titanium cases that mac computers are built out of. Not to mention the fact that while their phones are not as configurable as an android device, they are beautiful, well made, user friendly, and they are more or less standardized. While I don't understand the point of it being mounted to a transmitter, I have to say that I understand the choice of having connectivity for an iphone rather than an android or other devise. That being said, I absolutely despise this car. In my opinion, it is a commercial failure already. Despite the fact that they really didn't have much tooling to rework, they essentially built a car for a market that generally cannot afford, or will not pay for a car this expensive. There are much cheaper ways to have stupid amounts of speed. I admit, I like the aerodynamic aspect. I think using a diffuser is an effective solution, but my respect for this product pretty much ends there. This car doesn't impress me at all. at 1/7th scale, 100mph is 700mph. To achieve the same scale speed with a 10th scale vehicle, it only needs to move 70mph. I think they could have put a lot more into this car, and if they hadn't half assed it out of a slash, it could probably be capable of a lot more. But for this amount of effort, they could have made a lot more profits from making a 1/10th scale car that goes 100mph. !000 scale mph. it would probably be a bit cheaper too, but I think at that scale/speed, people would be more willing to put in the money. Hell, I think if they built a 10th pan car with independent suspension at all 4 corners, a flat bottom, diffuser, and a simple 2 gear (pinion/spur) 2wd drive train, it would be lighter, more aerodynamic, more manageable, cheaper to produce, and have more room for MORE LIPOS! [/quote] sorry to go off topic from the x01 but this crap pisses me off im a network engineer and a certified microsoft engineer goto apple.com and build a mac to any spec you wish. i will then show you a pc for 1/2 the cost that you can actually upgrade or fix if you wish unlike crapple computers where if something goes wrong you have to scrap it or get a apple "genius" to fix lmao damn mac drones spewing there crap all over aggrivates me to no end /endrant sorry

RE: brushless mgt
very nice!!! i figured out my problem. my setup isnt cogging its not getting enough power!! my motor is squeeling cause it dosnt have enough juice off the launch or at full speed so i really think if i get the esc programmer it will run great have you run it much with the 8.0 tranny?

RE: Cogging problem
lol i dont mind spending money if it fixes the problem why buy a new pinion if it still cogs and is really the esc that needs some tuning? i dont see how a smaller pinion will help the cogging above 1/4 throttle. off the launch i can see it maybe working but not the highspeed cogging that happens sorry i thought maybe someone had experience with this esc

RE: Cogging problem
im using a 6s 4000mah battery and the 2000kv 1/8th scale tacon motor. also using a 18t pinion on the stock spur for a mgt 8.0 could it really be the gearing? i mean i have to push the truck to get it moving but then it really starts to go lol until i use more then 1/4 throttle then it cogs again :( i was expecting to be doing wheelies and backflips with this combo and so far im very dissapointed

Cogging problem
hello i have a hk 150a esc and tacon mottor that is cogging badly on launch or if i use more then 1/4 throttle :( can this be fixed with the program card changing timing setting and such or do i have a bad esc? i dont really know how to test it cause this is the only esc and motor i have.
