who's the xx-4 resident PRO?? I need some advice
 
I have just bought the 7700 mamba max and I would like to put it into the xx4. a few questions.

Will it be too much for the belts?
what spur would you use?
would it be better for me to find the 5700 motor and use it?

any other suggestions?

we're running on a track that is super hard, and the straight is about 110'. videos are at www.sidsraceway.com

thanks for your advice in advance

My mate had a 7700 in his xx4...it was an overkill...the motor is really too fast and powerful, it caused a couple of screws to fall off and the whole car to rattle . After 4 packs, the diff outdrives were worn out. He later transferred the motor to his touring car, the same thing happened. I emailed Joe Ford of Castle Creations and he highly recommended the 5700. He said it's the most versatile motor, it works the best for buggies. It is fast, lots of torque, controllable and the it has more gearing choices too. Best of all, it will not kill your buggy's drivetrain mate...Cheers :)

Do you have any questions about cheese?

NeilD 10-05-2007 08:03 PM

How is it made?

Stu 10-05-2007 08:19 PM

Cheese is basically curdled milk, with all the watery stuff removed.

A catylist is added to the milk to make it split (curdleing) into the curds & the whey.

The whey is drained off leaving the curds,the curds are then compressed (often using muslin and a press) into a 'wheel'.

It's then left to mature for a varying period of time.

Small variations and additions to the above process make the differing types of cheese.

Thanks.

Does it smell good or bad ?

Online internet cheese making searches you are very good at making? Your power is puny. A Jedi uses the force for knowledge and defence, never for showing off. A Jedi's power flows from the force. Life creates it, makes it grow. The force is everywhere, all around us, it permeates everything, you, the water, the rocks, the cheese. But cheese is nothing without onions. Your internet search power is nothing compared to the force.

Cheese is especially difficult to make because of
the difficulty of finding what is called a starter
--the bacteria culture added to the milk to start
the curd formation. It is possible to make cheese
without a starter, but the starter is what gives
different cheeses their distinctive flavor, and
without one the cheese almost always ends up
tasting like pot cheese, more commonly known as
farmer's cheese or cottage cheese.

To make cheese: Take a hell of a lot of milk
(10 gallons will make less then 1/2 a gallon of
cheese) and cook it slowly on the stove. For
flavorful cheese, it is best to use unpasturized
milk, which is almost impossible to buy and must
be obtained from a cow, or goats milk, which tastes
good even when pasturized. As the curds form, add
a cube or two of rennet, found at most specialty
stores. This will cause the curds to coagulate.
Constantly stirring the curds at this point will
give you something more like mozzerella, which can
be great. Instead, let the curds for naturally
for something more like a jack cheese. Let the
curds cook until you are satisfied with your yield,
and then remove, placing them in cheese cloth and
allowing them to drain. Then press into a mold.

Before you begin this adventure, remember that the
reason there are 1000's of varieties of cheese is
because there are 1000's of variations on the process
outlined above. Whatever the case, good luck--you'll
need it

Yoda, I challenge thee to find the source of my cheese knowlede. It is not web based. Go, use your 'force'.

Carl, thanks for that, it was good.

Yoda 10-05-2007 09:17 PM

Your challenge has no meaning to me, a Jedi craves not these things. I do not believe in the possibility of non-internet derivation of knowledge by those outside of my swamp. Besides that, I'm off to Spain tomorrow and need to get my stuff sorted.

Come on guys, the person asked a serious question, make a thread about cheese if you love it so much.

ashleyb4 11-05-2007 11:44 AM

Yea the xx4 will take a mamba max 7700kv. You may need front cvd's thought.

Just get the 5700, it's fast enough..what is power if you can't control it? I rather get the 5700 and set my end point to 100% then getting a 7700 and cutting down the end point..defeats all purpose...speedos do not like running at half throttle..causes it to run hot. If you like rattling parts, worn out parts and a car that is way out of control...get the 7700 :D

Be sure to always set your slipper with some slip (sorry for that poor english). It's here to protect belts and spurs.
