Ordered a LiPo.

Probably the wrong LiPo.

Halp.

Good breakdown of the different connector types at the back end of this article.

Might fit, might not

Seems fine - if anything too thin.

You’ll be fine, never charge above 1c and don’t discharge it too much, below 3v per cell. If you do that it’s as safe as the loop you hold up to your ear everyday in your phone.

Wasn’t happy with the wiring in the Egress so I neatened it up a bit.

SMC.

Dats my ends.

Grew up staring at all the kits in that shop. :o)

They seem sound. Good on the phone and bits I ordered shipped immediately and arrived next day.

If I have a mini sized servo and want to mount it in a standard sized space can I buy some kind of adapter doobry?

Searching for mini to standard servo adapter didn’t yield anything conclusive.

Took this out with the LiPo whilst exercising the toddler. Tried using the transmitter’s throttle curve adjuster to reduce wheelspin and the possibility of the centre ball diff slipping.

Lipo alarm hasn’t arrived yet so kept it to about ten minutes of run time.

I’ve never seen one, generally their cheap enough to get a correct sized one.

Looks great. Did the same today. Maiden voyage and ball diff Run in, they def need adjustment, as does the tracking and camber, gauges on the way for that.

Hah! Think a correct sized one but 4mm smaller in every dimension :)

They fit the Avante and Egress - they have a slot fit for the aft mounting screw.

Durga... eh just assumes you bought the size.

Ahhhhh, yeah that’s a pain

What is the ‘standard’ servo of choice? Help Howard navigate the bewildering options.

Savox.

Metal Gear Solid. 😎

Yeahbut which one? There’s like ten billion to chose from!

Any of you guys got videos of your cars running?I’d love to see the actual speed they go at.

Haven't you lot got any bikes to ride?

Well, it's faster than a toddler.

i usually go low profile, i like the extra space. Savox MG 1251 if i'm feeling flush, Alturn if i'm not.

Ta!

I’ll get one this weekend.
