RE: power supply from a computer?
[quote]ORIGINAL: calvino [quote]ORIGINAL: sheograth People who dont know jack about how those PSUs work will tell you that you dont need to load the 5v, but you do. If you dont, the meter will still read 12 but it'll drop when you draw a couple amps from it. Also, if the PSU has been recently used, be careful not to discharge any capacitors into your hand. Its not an urban myth or something, I've seen people loose fingers at work due to that sort of thing. [/quote] So, you need a ballst resistor of a few ohms, and many wats is the clue, you could use OHM's law to find out the resistance, kindof scary with loosing apendages due to caps, can we say, next mythbusters myth, lol [/quote] you dont need mythbusters to prove that lol i work on cars and the cap in a distributer carrys enough juse to make you feel it and i also have been building a mame arcade cab and the caps on the back of the old arcade monitors have enough charge to kill its no myth its truth

[quote]ORIGINAL: dustinbleh hello.. i dont know if this is where i should ask about this or not, but i was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this sprint car that i have recently acquired. i am always trading with people on rcu and in my local area, and when i was out trading with someone today i noticed he had this in his shed, and he threw it in for free. the motor is an os, and it says CZ on the side of. it doesnt mention a size or anything like that. its in decent shape, but it needed alot of cleaning/ lubrication. there were a few rusted screws here and there, but i was able to replace them from the vast amount of excess screws that i have collected since being in the hobby. anyway, as i was saying, any info would be greatly appreciated. thank you! [/quote] its a rc 10 conversion all the parts on it are rc10 buggy parts but its on a custom sprint car chassis these were verry commont kits back in the day and several companys still make rc10 sprint car conversions corcam as for your traxxas rebuild can u post some pics of the car so we can take a look at what your dealing with im shure a new servo saver can be made to work but im unshure about the car you have (im a associated guru)so some pics might hep us all have a better understanding of what u need mabey another car uses the same setup

RE: Evader EXT Arrived (Pics)
it looks to have way cheaper plastic( and from reviews seems tthe parts are breaking allot more than original evader) no ball diff and cheapo motor (the motor on the side of the box looks like a cheapo traxxas or tamiya stock motor at least the first evader came with a real epic motor) the car as stated by my local hobby shop is verry low end rc and designed for beginers and young children(and they are going to stop carrying it due to returns ) so far there is one big problem with some of the tranny gears being out of round + the thing just looks like junk i have a regular evader that i had to replace every part on with losi or associated parts and it was way beter built to begin with than that thing esp after seing real pics of it instead of the ones on the box like i said i guess it will be great for yong kids to get into the hobby since the price is cheap but id never waste my money on one esp after the pics u posted looks like some chinese knock off of an original evader lol but thats just my opinion im geared more twards racing and durabilty not back yard thrashing and cheap so it would def not be the car for me i still thing traxxas elect cars suk cause they have plastic motor mounts (people still luv their rustlers and pedes tho lol)so its all on what u are into please keep this thread updated and let us know how well it runs id like to see the reviews to be proven wrong but from the pics u posted it really does look cheapo
