    I want to get some shells so my choice will depend on the shells available, some classic cars and race cars will probably be first lol I saw the Tamiya M series and the shells are amazing so that’s probably next, got some learning to do first tho before I jump into electric full on though, and...

    Haha it’s all new to me so it’s just hard to keep up sometimes! I will just order the replacement Rx for now then I know it’s going to fit straight ones work with the Tx perfect too! I have a feeling I’ll end up buying another electric rc in the future haha

    Yeah.... now I’m lost with all this radio talk mate haha 😂 I might just get the one that matches the etronix Tx and save the hassle for now then I cannot just fit the himoto Tx/Rx back to my nitro! I didn’t even change any trim settings tbh it drive spot on but I think I’ll set the throttle and...

    So I just went out after charging the battery last night and gave it a solid run about, probably for around 20-30 mins ish. The car seems great, motor is warm but not hot, esc feels fine and all wiring is fine too not warm at all. Also, when it cut out and started crawling I measured 6.47v...

    How about getting one like the Himoto one I’m using from my nitro rc? Then presumably I could use the same Tx for both cars couldn’t I? The one I have is the MT300 @Greywolf74 so do I just plug that alarm into the balance lead wen I take the car out?

    Nice one mate don’t worry about the late reply! I’m happy to keep it now I know it’s worth keeping and works already! It’s very clean and in good condition so that’s a bonus too! I’ll keep an eye on those receivers, I was just gonna get the same type tbh, but I’ll see what they go for...

    The shell is £299 for a used one on eBay right now mate!!! 😵 The manual only says 6v (3 v per cell) so I’ll probs need that LVC bud, cheers! And yeah that snap on truck is cool AF also saw one of those Traxx with the tracks on it at local shop today that was mint- but I think I’m gonna get...

    They got beat but they are in the wrong league atm, they’re a newly set up team, but the team works hard and our player got man of the match again, so it’s all good mate thanks!

    @StonerRC365 looking at the setting instructions, you can only set the cut off at 6 volts for a 2 cell Lipo, that’s what happened when it ran out as it limits the power at that level to a crawl... gonna need that card then unless the options will be the same for that too

    Thanks stoner mate, I’ll take a look at that! Sorry I’ve not replied earlier, been out with the boys at their football match today, then at my local towns football match. I think I’m gonna buy the Zeee Lipo as it’s the best priced I can find atm glad it’s a good one!

    So what are the two readings you get from the balance lead mate? Are they supposed to be different or the same? The esc manual doesn’t mention programming without a card just how to do it with the card... @pug I'm gonna buy the zeee battery I linked yesterday but I’ll take a look at that post...

    Totally agree about the nitro sound and smell, love the scream like an old F1 car haha plus it’s a mini working engine etc like I work on so always loved them lol But mate, it’s crazy how it wheelies if you’re too fast on the throttle! Even managed to front flip it braking and roll it in a...
