I'm going to respond to posts that call me stubborn, or that contain mis-information. I'm also going to respond to posts that infer my equipment is "un-needed junk". Or multiple posts that the...

I meant firmware versions. 1.32, is the latest. As far as which version of the castle link software, I'm running 3.41.1. So I'd say YOU'RE behind.

So what was the motor's actuall temperature? I don't trust your "hand thingy" as a temperature probe. At least an IR reading is not a subjective 'feeling' by someones skin. I'll stick with my...

I just tried applying a constant current load to my v3 MMM. The esc was not plugged in to the RX. I don't trust servo connectors for the sustained currents I wanted to run, so I pulled the positive...

I have 2x Hitec 6985 coreless digitals on my e-maxx. Combined, they're about 300 oz/in of torque on 5v. I've never had a problem with the MMM's BEC. I think it's supposed to be good for 5a,...

I haven't run the castle specific fan on the motor yet. Neither of my LHS's had it in stock. I did setup a small, but powerfull PC fan tie wrapped to the motor for a while. I'm not sure how much...

I just measured the tape I had. It's all 48mm, which from what I saw in the store is the standard width. That's basically 1.9".

I didn't see anything wider. I measured the road rages, and they...

I apprecieate the suggestions.

It just seems that they are repetative. As for motor choice, I originally asked here if the Plettenberg Maxximum would be a good choice. Everybody said "great...

The slight imperfections in the tire are caused by the tape. I've boiled them off and retaped once already. I put the tape on very very carefully. There were hardly any creases in it. Since the...

I am still having problems with the tires. Here's a video of what they do:

All the wheels are balanced pretty much perfectly. I got them to...

I apologize if my tendancy to include detail in my posts is confusing. I like to try to include detail that people will end up asking anyway, so they don't have to ask. Thought it would save time....

Through the rim might work.

Still won't help with the vibrations though. Even before they started partially ballooning, they were shaking pretty bad. This is AFTER balancing them as best I...

For the fishing line thing though, there's only a straight bead in the ceter of the tire. There's no channel to put fishing line in closer to the edges. I think I'd have the same problem I did when...

As per my first post:



Yes, I have 3 different castle link's. Aquired over the aquisition of my 20 or so castle ESC's.

At first I tried duct tape, but found the adhesive isn't strong...

Castle themselves recommend 6s2p A123. This is direct from castlecreations.com:



However, your 25C 5,000 mah battery can supply 125 amps continuous. My 30C 4,600 mah a123's can supply 138...

I have one of the proline chevy bodies on it. I cut out the front grill right from the start. Looking directly into the cutout grill, the motor looks at about the same height. So it should be...

Here's another run on 25/62 gearing. I made it to the end of the pack this time. You can see minutes on the bottom, and cumlative mAh is the black line with it's axis on the right.

80C is as hot...

"wheelie wheels" really need to be closer to the actual drive wheels. That's why I mentioned the 'track' of the wheelie bar. Having the wheelie bar wheels so close together is going to cause...

A123's are way way lighter than NiMh. I just weighed my A123's VS my NiMh packs. NiMh's are 36oz vs A123's at 22oz. Both similar capacity, 4,500 vs 4,600. The NiMh's may start out at a slightly...

Please tell me what's wrong with 4,600 mah? More is just going to weight more, and heat up the motor further during a battery discharge. Less, and there'll be less run time, and the batteries will...

Why? What's wrong with my batteries? Other people run 6s2p A123. It's very close to 5s Lipo. I've got 4,600 mah. I can run them as hard as I want, they barely get warm during use. I don't need...

If you want the CA to go off immediately, hit it with kicker aka accelerator. Any kind of CA used on EPP foam just sits there. It almost will never actually cure. Hit it with a bit of kicker...

I've had nothing but good luck with castle controllers. I have probably 15-20 of them. Mostly airplane controllers, but I've never had one fail. The biggest one I have is a Phoenix 85HV, can...

About your LiPo at 0.0 volts, I would suspect it's simply got a wiring problem. A bad solder joint or something similar. Sounds like something caused a huge current draw, which damaged the ESC, and...

I would never buy a radio specificaly for it's telemetry system. I would however buy a stand alone system that's flexible. Still not cheap though. Eagle Tree's Wireless telemetry / recorder system...
