| run time question! and pics of complete buggy!!
Ok so i fixed my steering problem then stripped out a drive flang inside the tranny and also fixed that. I just ran the clod and it only lasted about 10min. Whats up with that. I have 2 brand new zagi 1800 packs, but i was informed only to charge them at 900mah for the first 5 charges is that why my run time is so short. running 2 mag mayhems, 9 tooth pinions, super rooster speed control! Now for the pics!! Unfourtunitly I have too much flex as you will see in the last pic... Got to put some limiting straps on her!! |

Only charging them to 900MAH and running MM's yea I can see that only giving you about 10 minutes. I charge mine to 1900mah, run lathes, and 8 tooth pinions, never really timed it, but I'd guess 30-40 minutes depending how hard I drive it. |

Yup. The mag's take a lot of juice. I think I get around 20 minutes or less with my cheap radioshack 3000 NIMH packs. You realize your tires are mounted all messed up? Like, in the front you have one backwards and same with the rear. |

I dig the tuber,its a bit tall do to those savage shocks,if you put some maxx sized shocks it would lower it a bit and possibly limit the artic a bit.but if you did this it looks like you would have to mount the upper links up higher on the chassis.

well why are you using 1900? get some cheap 3000, they are like 22 bucks now. and switch to some lathe motors. you should get over 40min of run time. oh, switch to a TLT i get over a hour on a 4cell pack |
