Also for the people that like mud/water. A tub of dielectric grease would be great as I can only find small squeeze tubes of the stuff.

Is that why you don't have novak stuff, no store front?

JRH is the man!

[JohnRobHolmes]

Yeah Cole82, that is why I dont carry Novak. I cant even get 10% off the going prices even though I am a legitimate business. If you arent storefront, its mighty hard to get a foot into Novak's door.

30 amp Powerpoles, already on order Cheap but powerful servos, on order. Expensive servos, still looking for a good vendor.

Kalamdrar, Ill shoot you a PM about the batteries.

[JohnRobHolmes]

Got power supplies and Servos up now. Working on getting more inventory on the site tonight. I have 2/3a custom packs on the site now. Still working on the pic to show what style is what. I almost need a cad drawing to keep the image file small.

[SnailMail]

JRH, you got a PM.

[revin9k]

could you do a 8 cell 2/3a over the servo pack? thanks jrh!

oh yeah how bout some used goods?

[JohnRobHolmes]

I sure could. I would just need a drawing of how you want the cells placed, or I could mock up a few and post the shape. Im working on the used goods. i just dont have anything I want to sell at the moment


pm'd you back snail.

I just purchased a bunch of stuff from Holmes Hobbies and couldn't be happier with the service and product. Included in this order were a 6 cell and 7 cell nimh ib1400 packs he put together and they are top notch Thanks again John.

I can get a pic if you need!

I did that for Sean_lv_crawler. Worked well.

What do you want for the stick hump 7 cell?

What cell? The site has 2/3A custom packs listed for 1-9 cell quantities. A few clicks builds it up immediately for you.

[TLTCrawlin]

Im guessing 2/3, sub c 7cell over the servo wouldnt be really pretty LOL!
7c elite 1500 stick pack on Holmes site Price: $28.70

[SnailMail]

thanks for the help, i replyed, but do you stock the lipos you were talking about?

[JohnRobHolmes]

I should be getting some lipo's in about middle next week. They are the size of a normal 6 cell sub'C pack, but they have longer runtimes. I will post up what I find once I get a chance.

Im waiting for the right BEC to come out before I buy one. UBEC is huge, the knockoff UBEC is wimpy, switching regs are expensive still, and linear regulators dont work for most people. There is one coming out within a few months to solve this though. Digital, cheap, powerful, tiny. Im just waiting.

Is this the one you are waiting for?

10 amp peak sounds pretty good, and it being from Castle Creations sounds even better.

[JohnRobHolmes]

Yep. thats the one. I will also be carrying MPI regs too. Just got dealership with them.

I will be Beta testing the Castle regs. I cant wait to put one through the ringer.

[SVEN]

Good to hear, my little Novak was being fussy during the last comp. So I'm anxious to see how well this works.

Do you know any specific number details? It's kinda hard to see what the output voltage is in the small picture.

Try this.

The little enlarge button is just below the original link.

I am hoping to test the MPI reg this weekend, I am also having problems with the novak regs. Running a 1/4 servo under heavy loads tend to wipe out the 6cell 4200 battery. I might try a 2s lipo connected to the MPI regulator and then connected directly to the cs-80 servo. I will post my findings in the Electronics section.

Wow the Castle BEC looks great might have to order one when it becomes available.
JRH is the Castle BEC programmable? either mechanical or using the castle link? The 4.8v-9v output is a large range for a regulator.

Thanks
EDC

[SVEN]

Thanks, that's much better.

22.2 volt in/9v out

I will definately get one when they are in stock at HolmesHobbies.

[JohnRobHolmes]

They are programmable via usb link. I will offer them programmed from my website since they come with 4.8v output stock. Most guys will want 6v im sure. It is 7 amps continuous and 10amp burst no matter what the input voltage. I was talking to an engineer about how they fixed the RF noise (all switching regs make them) and it is VERY slick. Some smart guys working over there at Castle.

Thanks John,
I look forward into picking up the BEC when you have it available.

I am thinking of putting it up on preorder for those people who dont want to wait. First I need to finalize the details with Castle and make sure I am getting mine from the first batch. I am really stoked about this.
