AAAAHHHH Wire Nuts!!!!

LOL HiAmp was running that setup before most people on here were playing with R/C's. Him and Brian from BPP, and Promod were the original pioneers back in early 2000's.


I still remember those days.... Ah the beauty of cells... But I don't remember why the wire nuts...

HiAmp had some amazing set-ups after this one. He was one of the very first people that got me started into brushless R/C back in 2004. We should really respect him, as it was his early testing that probably lead a lot of us into brushless without even knowing.

A lot of the rules we have now about what to do and what not to do came from him figuring it out the hard and expensive way. Great guy too, along with Promod and Outkast.

Most of these guys making fun of ole hiamp don't realize that without guys like him outkast, and promod, the hobby would not be what it is today. There were no lipo at the time, and really hardly a controller to be found with car firmware. The best batteries out were Sanyo 2400 mah nicad and GP 3300 nimh. The Sanyo's while having less mah had kept higher voltages under load and provided more punch than the GP's.

Go to the TRX forums and look up the member hiamplidude and you will see how far back he goes. He was also one of the prime testers for the ultramaxxed gears that were so coveted a few short years ago.

It's easy to poke fun without all the information. Also keep in mind many of his setups were expiremental as no one had any clue what would and would not work at the time. The wire nuts were a way to make quick changes without a lot of hassle.

So in the words of the famous one, "keep awn keepin awn........."

(the guys who have been around should understand that quote and why I put it there)
