Now finish the Moab video.

run2jeepn · 11-01-2006, 12:46 AM

Damn Can't watch them at work. The only ones I can watch at work are rcpics.net and they suck. Or photobucket.com which isn't that bad. I'll just wait till I get home.

FrankyRizzo · 11-01-2006, 07:40 AM

Pimp cane would have got it on the first shot.

Looked good though.

CRF450R · 11-01-2006, 08:41 AM

Even with sand on the tires......... SICK!

LOL!!! Ha, ha, ha, ha...

I was thinking the same thing while watching it...

Unimoger · 11-01-2006, 09:26 AM

WOW

I am sold and alittle speechless.

JasonInAugusta · 11-01-2006, 09:53 AM

You guys should see this spot in person. Even I was amazed that it made it. The video doesn't show how bad the undercut is on the rock that's on the right.

We tried this climb with another stick that had lathes and a slighty different CG and weight bias...couldn't make the climb.

bugman72 · 11-01-2006, 09:58 AM

I just love the squawls and chirps from a brushless!! Just got to pony up the funds to get one from JRH sometime.

Very impressive climb! It's times like that when you are damned glad you have a camcorder running, because trying to convince someone that you actually did it would be pointless.

Ok...fixed posts.

Still missing that hair.

Bugman, that noise is made by the motors, but is generated by the Mamba controllers. Quarks are quiet.

Why do they do that? I actually find it annoying and glad I bought a Quark.

JasonInAugusta · 11-01-2006, 10:33 AM

Not sure.

I'm actually use to it. I know the difference in sound from driving, drag brake, etc. I use it as an audible cue at times...like how much power I'm giving each axle.

JohnRobHolmes · 11-01-2006, 10:47 AM

It is a function of the Castle startup routine. They actually use audible tones (a switching frequency we can hear) to control the motor and keep it in synch at all times. Quark doesnt use audible tones to control the motor, therefore it is much quieter and you only hear the faint harmonic frequencies of the controller and not the actual switching frequencies.

LIKES2CRAWL · 11-01-2006, 12:23 PM

That was SICK!

pigeonfarmboy · 11-01-2006, 01:41 PM

Nicely done! So Jason are you're using the DX6 for independant throttle control of front and back axles correct? Any quirks or ill effects you've found using that setup?

TwistedCreations · 11-01-2006, 01:48 PM

I think the dig had a little play in that climb

Did the other stick have dig also?

cartronicshn · 11-01-2006, 02:30 PM

very nice JIA. i love the sound of my mambas and outrunners, to me it's a symphony

, awesome climb
