World Most Dangerous Battery


I manage to grab some r/c parts upgrade sure to rise some hair rising speed and performance to the max. Got me two most crucial and missing link in my NRX-18 1:18 touring r/c car.
-YEAH RACING Lithium Polymer 1700mah 7.2 with discharge rate 25C to 40C burst battery
-CASTLE LINK CM2068 6800KV brushless motor.
First day of testing already causes major damages to the tyre, drive shaft, differential gear and body shell. So what? Mission accomplished! 89KMH! fuuu yeahh!!!! Its a competition performance car. I'm so damn happy about it.
My concern now is about the Lithium Polymer battery. Need to be take care with extreme caution. They are dangerous than nitro fuel, explosive if overcharge and discharge and very fragile. That thing is equivalent to hand grenade. lol. I hope it doesn't put my pocket burner r/c car in flames.

Here comes the postman!


Stuff arrive f rom my favorite MINI-Z supplier! Yeah finally got me another spare models to keep my mini-z enthusiast runing wild, best thing are it came with dozens of SP8M4 FET chip to upgrade the ESC circuit to boost more Amp current into motor. Will test first on 4000rpm hot motor tonite after FET stacking and soldering on PCB board. Trying to hit more than 60km/h for sure but will try my best to tune the motor both minimal current consumption and speed.

Should i sell mini-z or not?


I have some delima, i'm not that rich guy who can get another enthusiastic stuff for hobby nor able to keep it long to maintain it. As you know i have several MINI-Z (miniature size 1:28 scale hobby grade radio control models) which is very fun to drive but very expensive to maintain as the parts very hard to come by and its a rare item to be sell or sold off in our local market. After thinking long term affect i decided to switch my level to a better platform.......i'm going for 1/8 NITRO or Electronic Brushless engine which is easy maintenance cost, more parts availability and fast but require bigger space and huge ebergy consumption. MINI-Z is fun especially being outdoors but it too much addictive! Once you're addicted the parts upgrade was too much of a cost vs the bigger scale models. Should i sell or should not....errmmmmmm...

40000 rpm motors for my mini-z rc


Well today i didn't work much on my 3d models or any design. Mostly today i spent much of my time at town with my buddy looking for mini-z radio control upgrades. Planned just for windows shopping survey for parts before planing my initial budget next week but there were limited pack of motor for upgrade at "Toys World". At first i was aiming for TAMIYA PLASMA motor which rev around 2900 rpm or decent TAMIYA TORQUE TUNED motor which is the best so far but another motor above the shelf hit 40000 rpm!!! left two packs so i grab the last two boxes, paid in cash and heads home happily! why? because those motors are rare to find especially around this city as we've search up and downs every corner of the shop looking for ultimate parts for r/c upgrades.

At home upon inspection it was highly tuned motors using carbon brushing and fully bearings shaft! Online manual for mini-z upgrade won't allowed these hi-rev motor as it could fried my ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) without FETs chip upgrades unless i installed external Turbo device. The only option i should put this motor on is to installed on cheap R/C such as my Auldey monster or that Race-Tin Gen 3 can. I'm not going to put my hundreds dollars of I-WAVER R/C cooked. Hope fully next week mod we could see this motor hit around 80-89KM/H. And fried PCB board. I hope i can post it in youtube.com soon.
