Higher pinions = safer MMM's? Or no? Someone's lying....

Patrick, How about a comic strip in the manual with Butthead telling Beavis not to be a dumbass with his rc truck and MMM? Or even a short cartoon of it on the website?

Or better yet in version 6 just a a sound chip and speaker that has Butthead saying "you dumbass" whenever some one does something stupid?

Not a good idea; it would be stuck in an infinite loop...

If anyone is willing to get on the brands of different battery packs, feel free to do so and just a heads up, Steve Neu might just change this C rating war. Please see the following: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1104509. I posted a couple of things in there and even included in my last post a few places that do test batteries specially lithium based ones. Those are some of the places I plan to use to test the cells I'm trying to get my hands on, but the military is a little bigger then I am . I know many places that do manufacture high quality cells, but they too can get caught in the C rating war and that's one of the reasons I push for a HV set up to keep my AMPs down on a safer side.

Dunno how the hell this went from a gearing question to Lipo C ratings, but whatever.

Since people have mentioned it, I thought I would post something very important for this industry. If you don't think a standard for our lithium battery is needed, please buy MA packs and support them on their quest.

It's always been about the gearing, but braking is a part of the gearing, which could be part of the problem.

Well, good info nonetheless. It will be my last thread here. I've stirred up a hornets nest of hate against me and its best if I just leave here permanently for everyone sake.

Take care and happy RC driving all.

What? I don't get it, the only thing you did was get a good amount of info out, but didn't get your question answered, sorry we have asked again, but there may be politics involved in the answer. Who knows?

Nobody hates you or showed ill will to you. Granted the thread got somewhat off topic, but as I have read that's the way things go around here. One question gets asked and another pops up it's more like a transformation than a hornets nest. IDK maybe I sound like an ass sometimes, but that's just the way I am. Not trying to come off the way I do but I am usually posting from work and I still need to get other things done so I am a little curt at times. Sorry.

bah, stupid DP

Not here too freeze, sheesh. I just read 12 pages. You are getting decent batteries. Decent batteries paired with a sensible top speed (gear for 40-45) will keep you and your esc happy.

I surmise the 20t pinion failures were noobs with cheap batteries and those running the 25t pinions had decent batteries. There were simply too many variables to make the "20t vs. 25t" debate. It was all hogwash IMO.

Everybody here has had success running good batteries and gearing conservatively.

You are gettng the good batteries now gear for 40-45 and you are set.
