Lipos! Velineon!

[MooseSlash]

YAY!!!! I've been noticed some early b-day stuff is coming on wednesday, and they are: 1400 mAh 3s LiPo, Traxxas LiPo balance charger, Team Orion LiPo saftey bag, Velineon VXL 3-m and Mini Maxx 380 brushless combo, a spare mount, and a 23t pinion! I am so exited! It's been about a year since I borrowed my friend's brushless, so I'm getting my own! And 2 years since I got my 1/16 Slash 4WD for Christmas. So LiPo tme!

[MooseSlash]

Monday: CHECKING THE MAIL. Darn, no box. Tuesday: Coming to-to-tomorrow! Just the LiPo charger and Velineon!

Hahah the dreaded yet exciting waiting game... this hobby turns anyone in to 5 year olds.

[MooseSlash]

It's like Christmas Eve, just knowing the day coming. Just it's in May!

[MooseSlash]

HORRAH! The LiPo Balance Charger and Velineon Extreme Brushless System have shown up! Also, how in the world do you get the pinion through the rotor?

[MooseSlash]

Anyone??????

[korn0307]

What do you mean the pinion through the rotor? did you back out your set screw first? lol

[MooseSlash]

What do you mean the pinion through the rotor? did you back out your set screw first? lol

Where the pinion goes, is what I mean. And yes, it was backed out!

[krallopian]

Does that mean you fixed it?

[MooseSlash]

No, I still need suggestions.

[Petertje60]

No, I still need suggestions.

Cant you reach it if you turn the pinion so that the set screw is behind the little notch in the motor mount? If that doesnt work, you need a flathead screwdriver to gently push the pinion higher on the shaft.

[MooseSlash]

Well, it fits on the Titan 380, but not on my Velineon 380. Like the hole for the pinion is to small for the rotor blade.

[korn0307]

So the rotor shaft doesnt fit through your pinion?

[MooseSlash]

So the rotor shaft doesnt fit through your pinion?

Yup, but problemo solved! The 23t pinion and Team Orion Lithiun safe battery bag just showed up! Yay! Now all I need are LiPos. In other words, see the hole here?http://buy.traxxas.com/product_info....oducts_id=6899 that didn't fit through the rotor blade.

[korn0307]

That is very weird. I was thinking all 48p pinions were the same. Just different numbers of teeth.

[Petertje60]

If you mean that the pinion doesnt fit through the motor mount, you can mount it when the motor is attached to the motor mount. There is a little notch in the motor mount where your allen wrench fits through to tighten (or losen) the set screw.

[MooseSlash]

Update! Mail checked NOT THERE! The days are getting longer and longer.

[MooseSlash]

Sundays = no mail.

[MooseSlash]

Huff. Only the LiPo now. I just got the motor mount, now it is on the spare part pegboard assembly. Stupid non Prime shipping! Luckly Tuseday is the latest it can show up, so I can only hope!

[MooseSlash]

Update: YIPEE! THE 3s JUST CAME! Itis small compared to NiMh, but yay! Charging it as we speak.

I am happy for you that your batteries finally arrived. You are "winning" by now having the 3s' in hand.

[MooseSlash]

Thanks! First run was tonight. The truth of what I was thinking was, "AWESOME! WOW! COOL!" But the only problem was the mesh kept on getting loose. But so much betten than the stock Nickel Metal Hydrates.
