Would I just put a note in the comments field then in Paypal about which ends to include with the motor?

The 22 amp is enough for the Revolver, but not the Crawlmaster.

I will post up when I get them back in stock.

Yes, in the commend field would be great. Or purchase a set of plugs to your liking. The Castle 4mm plugs are really nice.

Default Inline adapter question

Hey John, how are ya making that inline Dean's adapter for the CC BEC? IS that 2 females or a male and female?
Better yet , I soldered the posts of a male and female together with the red and black wires to the BEC in effect leaving a male and female end for the ESC and Bat. to plug in to. There is a bit of space between the plugs though. Is that what ya did? I don't want to plug it in until I know it's done right ya know? Any feedback or explanation of yours and mine would certainly be reassuring! Thanks yet again!

Yep, I just solder deans back to back with the power lead tapped to each side just like you did. I cover the void with electrical tape.

I would say no, but you could grind them just a bit. The rear cage holds the brush hood, so if you remove part of it the motor is ruined.

Thanks for the reminder, I had a few left. I don't have any pics on a tlt axle, but depending on your rims the packs do fit.

Hey John, quick question.

How warm should 2/3 A nimh packs be at end of charge?
I thought I heard you once say 130*. Is that correct?

Thanks

I have never used the Genius, so I can't give proper advice. You will need to use a mail service other than hotmail, get a Gmail account or something. Hotmail thinks I am a spammer, so it won't let me send email to hotmail accounts from my website.

130F is the max operating temp of a lipo. Just because it doesn't get hot doesn't mean it isn't getting overdrawn. I already told you that you will need more battery

140 to 145F is the normal peak temp of nimh.

Thanks for your help on the bec wiring John. Now that I have bypassed the roosterce's BEC and am running it at 6V, can I run more than 7 nimh cells o rdoes the ESC's cell limit still apply? Wanna run 8 if I can but not if it will damage anything especially my $90 ESC! Thanks bro! You are a cut above the rest

Hey John, I am wanting to run a brushless setup in my 1.9 scale rig. I was wondering if I were to get an outrunner motor from you and run it with my mamba max with your 9cell (10.8V) battery if it would work for a good all around trail setup. Thanks for the help.

Default 7T preorder

Hi John,

I want to preorder a Cobalt Puller 7T. I tried to do it on your site, but living in Canada, it wouldn't let me

I sent you an email about it, but just wanted to make sure you get it. Please let me know the total cost (I emailed you my shipping address) and I will send you a manual PayPal transfer right away. Also let me know what email I should use to paypal you

I would prefer one of the cheaper USPS shipping methods.


Thanks!

Aaron
