which dude is that? there is an older gentleman that was there that had what looked like scarring on his neck. REALLY nice guy and REALLY helpful. there is also a young kid there that was working that races at Trackside as well and he was kinda giving some pointers.

Tony is yours 4wd too?

[Ricky Bobby]

Yea that's him and mine is 4wd

[Ricky Bobby]

crappy cell phone pics rims are black chrome






and i was gonna get the bead lock but tony was sayin with 3s with a true beadlock ur gonna still chew up tires, so these tires one set i bought preassembled other i have to do, so tony told me to wrap inside of tire in duct tape to stop ballooning and works perfect, the pre built ones do but the others nothing at all

Looks good. Those are the rears sisters bf bought for his Rustler, they suck on road, so he bought some 2.2 tires and RPM wheels, looks nice. and work good too..

Hmmm debating what to spend the $80 on

I did hear by going to 2wd slash rims, it will make the truck a little wider, because of the offset, im going to research this a little more, because wide could be better. like i did with my Savage, 1/2" rims made a world of a difference.

This is the 2nd time my Venom 3s lipo is being charged.

First time it got to about 2300Mah, and said it was fully charged. and it is a 5400Mah battery.

Will it take a couple charge cycles for it to reach its peak?

and also, on my Onyx 230 charger, it shows CHG Voltage is 12.22Volts. and it is a 11.1v battery, it this also normal? CHG current right now is at 4.09A

IN Voltage is 11.95
Currently at 1788Mah

Does everything look right? Or is something wrong?

[Ricky Bobby]

actually all four are fronts shallower offset to clear front knuckles, and def wider as u can see and i have a set of 2wd rears if u want to check it out first before u buy i ran them on the rear. Im hoping with these big tires i wont be getting stuck to much in my bashing times

my charger doesnt show the mAh it only shows voltage and when its fully charged on a 11.1v its at about 12.43v so seems normal to me and mine is also a 25c 5000 mAh i believe

[DSMDuDE]

Just got a reply from someone on Ultimate RC forum:

[B]Yeh looks fine

the 2300mah will be the amount you put INTO the battery, so it would have been partially charged, then you added 2300mah to make a total of 5400mah.

If you have a b6 type charger whilst charging hit the start button and it will show all the cells voltages, each cell should have 4.20v when they are full charged. So as long as each cell is 4.20v you know its fully charged.

I am on the Traxxas Slash 4x4 forum, and Ultimate RC forum, both really good Forums for Slash 4x4 info!
