RE: Stock RC18R radio bad range with mamba?
I am using a 2s 2100 lipo. I put RF filters on the wires and it helped but it made my mamba glitch more. so I took off the throttle one and it works ok for now. still not good range, but good enough for the racing I was doing. I will try twisting the wires. Thanks, Dean

Stock RC18R radio bad range with mamba?
hey guys, I have my 18r set up with a mamba micro pro w/the 8000 motor. its really fast, but my radio range has been terrible. It goes maybe 20 feet before it starts picking up signals and going in different directions. I am just wondering, is there any way I can get better range out of the stock radio? Or is it just crap? it worked ok when it was stock. Thanks, Dean

RE: traxxas slash
The slash is meant to perform well off road. you might have to change the set up a little to get it to perform better on-road.

RE: Associated SC10 Video!!!
That truck looks way more dialed then a slash. and since its based off a T4 you could probably set it up real good.

RE: Venom 6.5t vs Velineon
The VXl with a siedwinder esc on 3s lipo should be fine. Ive been running my VXL on 3s for the past year with no problems.

RE: What's a good brushless system for Slash?
[quote]ORIGINAL: redfisher1974 [quote]either way id go mamba max 7700kv. more power than the slash can handle! [/quote] So why does that make it a good choice? Seems like a oxymoron no? [/quote] And that might run hot in a slash, its a heavy truck. I would go no higher than 5700 in a slash.

RE: Range problems micro-t tried everything i know!!!
How thick was the wire. I have resoldered thicker wire to mine and my cousins and you will lose sight of them before they run out of range.

^What class do you race? I run a gtb with a 17.5 stock and it has a lot of torque and thats expected from a 17.5 but its not uncontrollable it just takes practice.

RE: novak havoc or gtb
If your racing, you'd be better off with the GTB. It has a lot more tuning options, and no motor limit. The Havoc can only go down to 8.5 turn motors.

RE: wheelie bar
DO NOT GET THAT. I got it for my stampede and it lasted a whole 5 minutes before it was bent against the motor and transmission, and bent to one side. Its a complete piece of crap, you can bend it with your hands. Im talking about the integy one. the ESP looks to be better quality.

RE: ***"class 10" buggy scratch build***
You should think about making a kit that converts losi buggies to this, maybe offer it to a company that makes stuff like this? I dont have a losi but i would get one if this was available.

I just saw the savage flux at my lhs, its sooo sweet. you can run two 3s lipos in it, and the battery compartments look a lot bigger than the revo's.
