well im not worried about money, but i guess i dont want to spend over $75, the problem im having is, im charging my pack, then when i go to run it, it only lasts 1 minute. the charger has problems, its new,but not working right i guess. i have a pro peak 2500. is the MRC 959 charger any good?

creates a higher center of gravity. but then he drifts so probably won't even make too much of a difference
Yeah, I just fool around. I'd definately not do that if i were racing.

Its false peaking. nubus has one and it false peaks even before the pack gets warm. What you can do is restart the charging and check the progress by tempature. If the pack is fully charged it should be quite warm but not hot.
The mrc 959 also false peaks a lot and a lot of people have had them overheat

hmm you could prob rig something up with some kind of pump and what not and try to retro fit some of the Nitro disck break set ups on all 4, but i really doubt you can find all that stuff so lil that it would fit behind the rim. we can still dream

I'm thinking a Lotus Elise or BMW M3 would look badass in that paint job.

Thanks Raguvian and TIGER76. I thought it was 23 also. I also thought there was someone in this thread that ran a 19 with no issues. I'm looking for a safe number because I race the car at our local Tamiya spec TT-01 races. Thanks again...
