Cheers just what I needed to know. Is there really space for the 4 seater one or will I be in the way??

There fine mate, not as big as they look and more social :thumbsup:

Andy

tis a done deal then. The other halfs brother is a big cheese at Go Outdoors so I'll get him to liberate one for me :cool:

wiring...help!!
 

I understand where they all need to get to. But they look too close to belts and motors to be safe. I can see cables getting caught and destroyed! :confused:

Plus what the hell do I do with the on/off switch on the speed controller - there is nowhere to fix it to??

So is anyone handy with a soldering iron and fancy steering me in the right direction??

Cable ties are the answer. And you got a Cat SX because you mentioned belts and the B44 is shaft drive:p

Just double sided tape the switch where you would like it to be - mine sits on top of the servo in the D4.

almost ready...
 

I'm hoping to get the connections to the motor done tomorrow evening and then all I'm waiting for is the battery and charger (and the link for between the servo horn and the steering mechanism that was missing from the box) :thumbdown:

Which battery connections would anyone recommend?

Deans. We virtually all use Deans.

i use deans too,never had any problems with them,your cars looking good steven,have you managed to get booked in at bury for the 24th?

Hi Rob, yeah the car's not far off now. The charger you recommended arrived today so now all I need is the battery.

I picked up a big pack of deans connectors from JE tonight so I'm cool on them now.

I have loads of pinions from the Mid - will they be suitable for use with the Cat?

I'm on the reserve list for Jan/Feb and March!!! Maybe I'll get a race eventually! I'll be aiming to get down to Roundabout in the meantime or is you guys are going somewhere else I'll consider that too. I suppose I getter get registered for the outdoor races, I'll PM the race controller

I suspect that your Mid takes 0.6 modules pinions in which case no the Cat needs something different. The Cat will be 48dp which looks kinda similar but isn't! If I'm right don't get them mixed up!

What motor do you have?

Do you mean on the Cat or Mid?

I`m gonna have a wild guess here...cat ;)

Andy

Cheers Andy.

Its the Exceed 6.5

Gotta say the cats looking good and will go well with that motor looking forward to seeing it in action :thumbsup:

Andy

The Cat - makes it easier to know what pinions you might need. Looks like a Fusion Exceed, guessing the 6.5t then. If so 23/24/25 in 48dp s what you need.

Great I'll be back to JE again tomorrow! Will I need any others for the outdoor racing?

Well I reckoned you'd need a 23, so I suggested a 22 for indoors and a 24 for big outdoor tracks as well. Though for Goshen you won't need a big gearing (thats more for Southport) and indoors at Chadderton is HUGE so you won't need a lower gearing either! I just figured a range gives you options.

battery
 

Hmmm not impressed. The battery arrived today but doesn't fit :mad: well it will if I move the motor back but then there is no space even the smallest pinion.

So if anyone anyone has a bit more space in their car and needs a 5200 35c at a nice price let me know!

Looks like it will to be a gold 3600 mah 30c trakpower £40 from Je
they fit Tyson used them when he was running his cat.

trackpower
 

ring ryan at je spares hes got trackpower dark edition 3600 35c for £55 you may aswell get one of those for an extra £15 they are a perfect fit

Typical isn't it. I was only in there chatting to him a couple of hours ago!

lipo
 

did you say you have the exceed pro 6.5t steven? if im right i think that has a 100amp peak,so as for lipo's if you went for the 3600 30c they will give you 108amp the 3600 35c will give you 126amp,shame your 5200 35c dont fit they are 182amp! plenty of power on tap.to work out the amps is as example 30c multiply by 3600mah = 108,000mah divide by 1000 = 108amps.

Yeah shame they didn't fit, pissed me off royal! Anyhow Johnny nitro has some which I am taking off him, from the pictures they look like 5000ma 20 & 30C so I'll still have 100-150a, way more than enough.

It'd probably be a good thing at first to have a bit less power, it might make some of my crashes less expensive!

batterys
 

you dont need all these masive batterys your car can only put so much power down on the track all youl endup doing is wheel spining round balding your tyres making the car harder to drive and putting slower times in ask si coe he will vouch for that lmao:woot:

So my 3700 mah 25c powering a lrp sxx + 5.5 turn x12 motor isn't enough power? What lipos do I need?

Buds

I wouldn`t worry about your batteries Dave, i`d concerntrate on your driving :p

You`ve already said before that the X12 5.5 is just too stupid so i wouldn`t go giving it any more juice... :thumbsup:

Andy

Thats not true!













(I never wore the tyres out......)

The car is running and ready to go! :D Except the missing steering link :(

I can't get booked in for next week (unless about 9 people drop out) but I'll try to call by and have a look at whats going on.

I'll also be trying to get to Goshen on Saturday (23rd) afternoon if anyone fancies a blast?

I'll be going down to the outdoor track on the 23rd but i wont be using that lipo coz i need to get a charger for it but i'll have one soon enough.

Great - you've got my number let me know when you'll be there, it'll be more interesting with someone else there too

Turn up at chadderton on the day I bet you end up racing
