*BUMP*

Only 5 days left......

I would be more tempted if I hadn't bought an old Tamiya truck and a Suzuki body for it. 

One day left Group buy price closes tomorrow.

thanks,

I need some advise on RC vehicles.  My 5 year old son has a radio shack Jeep RC vehicle.  It is fine for his needs as far as ruggedness goes but it only drives the rear wheels and can't go in long grass or dirt.  What RC vehicle that costs less than $75 has four wheel drive?

Hey everyone,
Kyosho has just given better pricing on the Rockforce. We are now the same price as the cheapest you can find online and if you are a ZWO member you can get discount on the price and it will actually be cheaper than what you can find online..

just in time for the holidays..

Thanks ,

Need some advice on my purchase. The instructions say to use a Size 540 Motor (20-27 Turn). If I remember correctly, the higher number of turns translates into more torque (IE. 27 turn has more torque than a 20 turn). Is his correct?

Also, with my RS4-MT everyone told me to switch controlers and motors to a brushless to get better battery life.... I'm assuming that with the instructions 'no special motors or controlers needed' that this is not the issue with the worm gear set up.. ? If not I can use the controlers on the RS4 for this and get a brushless for the speed car.....

You are correct in that the more turns on the motor the more torque.  It is the same with the timing, the closer to zero you are the more power you will have in forward and reverse and more torque at lower RPM's.  They also tend to be better on the batteries.

For the motor the brush less ones are usually a straight bolt in swap but you do need the special speed controller.  But if you already have a motor/controller combo you can just use it.

I was wondering about battery life.. I love running, jumping and racing my HPI RS4-MT but the battery always dies in 4-5 minutes. I know crawling will make it last longer but this set up does not appear to have an easy sey up to switch out batteries like a racing set up. Would like at least 30 minutes (or more) of crawling between charges.
