After the slagging you gave bury do you think any 1/8 club will really want to have you join them.

never slagged bury! EVER!

bodgit 03-11-2011 10:45 AM

Your full of crap. The thread and many others by you have been deleted but anyone who read them will agree with me.
Why does anyone need to know how much you spent on batteries. Not everthing in life is about you.

Now you just need a car lol! By the time it is out your lipo’s could be out of date! On another note the DEX408 was running at the club I was at on Tuesday night for some testing and did look good!

jimmy 03-11-2011 10:59 AM

Thats a lot to drop on cells! :o but should be a bit of a BEAST!

HarlowS 03-11-2011 11:04 AM

Just out of interest, whats your chosen setup ??? Motor, speedo ? Is that 21t pinion your after for the 8th too ??

daz 03-11-2011 11:08 AM

He had never said there for a car tho, just 8th. In lippys case he could be construsting a new double action 8th series arse pounder. And these babies are to power it.:D

Lol, with a name like Phil Gay hes obviously a full on pillow muncher. Apparantly he got his missus from a Thai bride website, and she came with a warning label saying "may contain nuts".

Is it called Ting Tong?

HarlowS 03-11-2011 12:07 PM

I think you will find thats way over powered, especially with 90C cells.

already ordered and on the way, could of saved £20, thanks for the info.

Timee80 03-11-2011 07:07 PM

I think you may have been better buying 2 x 4s packs. Changing batterys when racing takes longer than a nitro fuel stop to start with. If youre having to then mess about wiring 2x2s packs up in series it will add to the pit stop time. They will be powerful though:thumbsup:

the durango thats coming out runs a 2 x by 2 layout rather than the common 4 or 6 cell placement. have no choice but to use 2 cell packs.

no problem though.

bodgit 03-11-2011 09:11 PM

Who's pitting for you as you cannot leave the rostrum during a race.

captainlip 03-11-2011 09:14 PM

6500mah should be ample for run times :D

Col 03-11-2011 09:22 PM

Maybe, but you'll need to pit because the nitro's HAVE to pit.

yes I have discussed this with a few and you have to do a dummy pit, in the pits stop for 5 seconds and leave the pits.

this is the usual case, some places dont mind not stopping unless you are seen to be having an advantage and winning everything.

Well I commend that you buy local but as far as hassle factor if they are faulty. I've been running HK batteries for 2 yrs now and they are no more or less faulty than expensive domestic stuff. You don't need to count on warranties cuz its crap. BUT for the same money you spent on those 4 you could have got nearly 16 of these: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...po%5FPack.html

With that many who cares about a warranty! and you'll always have a pair ready to run!

captainlip 04-11-2011 09:31 AM

Ive had turnigy ages ago and would never use them again especially with the top end rc stuff I'm putting in

jimmy 04-11-2011 11:29 AM

Hey guys please keep it relatively on topic! keep the personal insults and such to PM's so we don't all have to trawl through it please.
