I want to dispose puff batteries. I'm considering either salt water or discharge to 0V using my Imax B6 charger & then buried them in the soil (because I want it completely safe). What do you think? I have two puff batteries & one that doesn't want to hold any charge.

Yeah, I know using the nail. Maybe next time. I already dunk the batteries in the salt water yesterday. Maybe I'll poke with nail after to finish it off. I will definitely using a long wood with nail at one end to keep the lipo batteries at arm's length.

There still little bubbles coming from the negative wires. Not much, but still there.

Nice!

No activity for a while now. I should have get crawler because there is no appropriate track for fast R/C near me also no body into R/C cars in my area.

I'm using screws.

For 1/10 HSP even the entry level (entry level is brushed while top/pro is brushless) have metal diff, metal drive shaft & metal axle/dogbone. The spur is plastic. However I don't know whether pangolin have metal drive shaft or not though. I only have multiple times bent the dogbone. The drive shaft & diff so far have no problem.

The RGT 18000 look like build way better than pangolin. I would go for that. For traxxas, you would need budget around RM1k to 2k & usually it is brushed setup. Brushless usually go above 2k. But again, for crawler, brushed motor is better. Other branded brands also above 1k unfortunately.

For crawling you want smooth control at the lower-end of the throttle which brushed motor do offer.

Yeah, I have been looking at smaller scale now too. I can easily setup indoor track. The wltoys k989 1:28 scale looks really great imo. It's not a crawler because I'm more interested in racing.

Looks like no one have k989 in stock locally. Btw, I'm thinking converting my HSP brontosaurus monster truck to drift car. Do I need to change the diff to one-way diff? Both?

I was considering locking the diff but I read (mentioned a lot in the articles that I read for drift) that one-way diff works differently. That's why I asked. Thanks, now I know locking the diff should works as well.

Nice! That was quick. Where did buy this?

Oh yeah, I saw that ad on Mudah. Look way better than the original HSP one. Probably RGT is "luxury" version of HSP.

The Hsp 1/24 Rgt Rock Scale Crawler look good too for mini RC.

My budget rc drift project begin. I got 2nd hand parts yesterday & installed last night. I just realised that the hsp rc car have slightly different chassis than their off-road vehicles but I managed to fit the front bumper. However I may need to adjust it if I mod the steering for more steering angle.





Monster truck parts that was replaced (I don't know whether this sentence is correct lol.. Do correct me please).



What do you guys think about this lipo battery?

It's not tamiya because if you look carefully it is SUBAPU. There also NASSAN bodyshell but I like blue colour of SUBAPU.

The cutout for the wheels are not properly aligned with hsp wheels. I had to trim them. Is the hsp off road (buggy & monster truck) looks scale?

Do 3100kv is enough for drift or I should replace it with 4000kv motor? Also the drift angle much easier to maintain with locked rear drift right? Currently not lock yet & the car tend to get out of a drift. Also I'm noob which one of the reason. I should lock the rear diff before messing with the gears (ratio) right?

Thanks. I'll swap with hobbywing max 10 + 4000kv combo in my buggy. The 3100kv motor more suitable for off road anyway.

I still unable to finish my drift car project. I think I'll need to fill the diff cup entirely with hot glue. My first attempt wasn't successful.

Some people suggest using screw(s) to lock the diff. Do you know how to do that SupermotoXL?

The old radio that you lost is TQ or TQi? Anyway, refer to compatibility page link below to know which radio the current receiver compatible with.

I have killed few batteries before but this one is tough.
