Hi there,
Me too I never liked the B44s thumb screws (in fact it would have been easier to do thumb screw than the one I did ) . Too much time undoing them and even tightening them hard on the b44 .
I had the batteries come off while running several times ... Much prefer the R clip ones
.
Right today was the first time I tried her on the track ... and it simply was brilliant !! Incredible , really amazing ! I just love it
On top of it a mate just got a brand new Durango with a 6.5t and even though I have far less experience in driving than him I just overtook him so easily !
After a while one of the big experienced drivers tried the durango he said it felt kinda special ... then we tchated a bit and he said "I've been looking at your kyosho it's pretty obvious it has a proper set up " so I proposed him to try my car ... First corner and he was like "Wow !" "that's impressive!" he had the same remark as me "it is so easy to place it in the corners" "it just goes where ever you want it to go" a lot lot of smiling and he gave it back to me and said "20/20 it's fantastic !". A lot of people wondered by saying "is that realy just a 10.5t motor ? it's really shifting ! "
Then another mate was disapointed with his new mini spikes yellow on his B44 they were brand new ... so I said that I had too brand new mini spikes yellow , the very same as his and conditions ... So he had a go at the kyosho too . Same remarks "it's just got so much grip and control I can't believe you use the same tyres ! the car feels so easy . "
Basicaly everybody was after the set up of it
and the experienced guy said that kind off set up can go direct in a shampion ship race for indoor gymnasium .
Really many thanks RogerM it's an incredible car . It just blows the b44 away .
Now a little problem but no big deal . The 10.5t motor felt too hot I think ... It's a 25/78 ratio should I go 24/78 (or less probably 22-23 spur ) ? It wasn't too hot to touch but felt very hot after a complete 1/2h running non stop . With a 4200Mah lipo pack it did 26minutes non stop with a very technical track .
By the way I had remarks on the connector as well . The mates saying that they were worried about power loss ... well after a 30minutes non stop really driving it hard (for me lol) the motor was as I said really hot , the wires just under warm and the batteries warm .... well these connectors felt the same if not colder than the wires . So logicaly if it isn't warm at all I don't think they're a problem no ? I couldn't feel any heat from them .
But I don't know I'm not very experienced in electonics .
Again thank you so much for these superb advices
ps: the SP 2.0gt ESC barely felt warm as well .
