[bodgit]

After the slagging you gave bury do you think any 1/8 club will really want to have you join them.

[bodgit]

Your full of crap. The thread and many others by you have been deleted but anyone who read them will agree with me.
Why does anyone need to know how much you spent on batteries. Not everthing in life is about you.

Now you just need a car lol! By the time it is out your lipo’s could be out of date! On another note the DEX408 was running at the club I was at on Tuesday night for some testing and did look good!

[jimmy]

Thats a lot to drop on cells! :o but should be a bit of a BEAST!

[HarlowS]

Just out of interest, whats your chosen setup ??? Motor, speedo ? Is that 21t pinion your after for the 8th too ??

[daz]

He had never said there for a car tho, just 8th. In lippys case he could be construsting a new double action 8th series arse pounder. And these babies are to power it.:D

I think you will find thats way over powered, especially with 90C cells.

so running two is 4cell and alot of fun :D

If you've not committed to buying them yet PBM and wheelspin sell them at £99.99 or Dinball/RC mart china sell them delivered for £80

already ordered and on the way, could of saved £20, thanks for the info.

I think you may have been better buying 2 x 4s packs. Changing batterys when racing takes longer than a nitro fuel stop to start with. If youre having to then mess about wiring 2x2s packs up in series it will add to the pit stop time. They will be powerful though:thumbsup:

the durango thats coming out runs a 2 x by 2 layout rather than the common 4 or 6 cell placement. have no choice but to use 2 cell packs.

no problem though.

[bodgit]

Who's pitting for you as you cannot leave the rostrum during a race.

[captainlip]

6500mah should be ample for run times :D

[Col]

Maybe, but you'll need to pit because the nitro's HAVE to pit.

[captainlip]

Maybe, but you'll need to pit because the nitro's HAVE to pit.

yes I have discussed this with a few and you have to do a dummy pit, in the pits stop for 5 seconds and leave the pits.

this is the usual case, some places dont mind not stopping unless you are seen to be having an advantage and winning everything.

Did think that was confirmed, good if it its, bigger meetings :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[jasonwipf]

Nah what if they are faulty, to much hassle!

Bearings dont come from anywhere near hong kong :thumbsup:

Well I commend that you buy local but as far as hassle factor if they are faulty. I've been running HK batteries for 2 yrs now and they are no more or less faulty than expensive domestic stuff. You don't need to count on warranties cuz its crap. BUT for the same money you spent on those 4 you could have got nearly 16 of these: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F17265%5F%5FTurnigy%5Fnano%5Ftech%5F6000mah%5 F2S2P%5F65%5F130C%5FHardcase%5FLipo%5FPack.html

With that many who cares about a warranty! and you'll always have a pair ready to run!

[captainlip]

Ive had turnigy ages ago and would never use them again especially with the top end rc stuff I'm putting in

Hey guys please keep it relatively on topic! keep the personal insults and such to PM's so we don't all have to trawl through it please.

Jimmy work your magic with durango and prod them to slip a DEX408 my way

[kennyrc]

When I raced 1/8 electric, I used lightweight lower capacity lipo's for the 5 min qualifying heats switching to larger capacity lipo's for the 20 min finals. Only minimal set up changes were req'd.

Try it you might like it.

The lower capacity orions were 1g lighter :eh?: each so made sense just to get the 6500s

Not true at all.

Another load of misleading crap. You jumped the gun and bought too early. The pictures mark posted shows otherwise. Looking at them the smaller saddles will slide in easier from the rear under the esc mount and the wiring will certainly be neater. Your link wire using 2 cell packs will look like a horses collar.
Edited for you in large bold.

[captainlip]

WTF are you on about, so I made the biggest mistake in the world by buying stick packs just because skelding is running saddles.

if you read about this you can run both, saddles its not the must way of doing it.

I have made no mistakes in buying sticks. :D

No moron Im not telling you anything . You goofed up telling everyone you had no choice but to use 2 cell packs when this is not fact. Keep digging yourself a hole. Would you like to meet me face to face to call me that.

So why do you take my comments seriously? if you had understood my qoute about lipos none of this would happen.

you claimed something that would probably wont even be able to quote as ive not said what you claimed.

anyway end of now.

EDIT - i think you think because ive ordered 4 lipos your thinking I think I can stick all 4 in at the same time, where infact I bought 4 because I want a backup pair so I have 2 "sets"

[bodgit]

No I dont think that anyone could possibly stick four in at the same time.
I just pointed out that buying sticks was not the only option as you claimed you had to.

[James]

It was British Sausage Week last week.

But thats it I never claimed to say it ONLY takes sticks, ive known from day one looking at this it takes sticks and saddle configs.

my choice was to go stick rather than saddles, and I bought 4 so had 2 sets.

[Cardnim]

Sausages? awesome!!!
Make mine an Ulster Fry sausage... mmmm.

I love Sausage Week this much:

LOL that dog is sooo cute.

Anyways, you could run 2x 3s packs for 6s. your kinda screwed running 5s saddle though unless you really want to run 3s and a 2s.

I'm running my new Serpent 811e with 2 stick saddle and I'm loving it. I used to not like saddle until I got this car. I run Short Course 2s too so now I just have one pack type for all my cars and sold all my odd 4s packs.

At the RC Pro Nationals in Houston, TX. U.S. Team driver Ryan Lutz won Ebuggy with that Durango. It does look sweet! It really will be a direct competitor with the Serpent. I do like things about both buggies. I made A main and ran with him but stood no chance against Lutz in his Durango. However I used to run a Mugen Eco and drivers who where beating me earlier this year on the Series tour was now getting lapped by me in that Serpent so the proof is in the pudding. I haven't even had much practice and tuning time with the 811e yet. Can't wait to get it fully dialed in.
