TIPS AND TRICKS!


On the track tips


  At the hole shot on many races you will see a 
couple car pileup in the first corner sometimes
I have found that when you see this occur the
best thing to do is that next race fall back 
a little and let everyone crash why you go 
flying by with no problems.
  One way of keeping the person behind you to
stay back there on that last lap is to let them 
follow you right up close and one way is to let
him go is to block pass him.  To do this you 
would stay on the gas in a corner and force him 
to slow down (or he would end up in the pits!).  
At that time when he slows down you can still 
accelerate and leave him eating your roost.






Tips for the car or truck

 

1. MOTOR-BEARING DIRT SEAL

I have found that the rubber shock gasket that
usually fits over Tamiya's yellow shock units also 
fits over the endbell on a motor which will keep
out dirt and oil.  This will help your bearings
last longer in your motors.

2. CLEANING YOU COMM. MADE EASY

I found that if you cut a piece of a ink eraser 
that fits the same size as where the brushes go 
in that it polishes your comm. just as good as 
one you can buy.  Just push it in until it hits
you commutator then turn the armature until it is
as clean as you want it.

3. Voltage down!

If  you use the #1156 auto bulb that people also 
use for discharging packs you can make a motor
break in easily.  With a system of leads and 
crocodile clips or plugs , you can put this bulb
in a series and use your stock 7.2v Ni-Cd pack 
to break in your motors. 

4. Frequency Crazy!

For 75mhz radios there are many different channel
No. (61-90) I have seen many people using odd 
frequency numbers before.  In some places this is
ilegal but in some it is not.  Running these odd 
frequency numbers can really mess things up!  When
odd numbers are used your frequency is only .020 
away from the onw above and below it.  So if you
dont have such a powerful radio you are probabley
get taken over by the guy next to you!

5. Motor Break-in Made Easy!

By using a resistor in a adaptor that will connect 
to your 6-cell battery  you can break in your motor.
All you have to do is go to your local radio shack 
and get a 7w resistor and splice and connect.
