I want to see a comp ready 1/5-scale truck. I also think that a dirtbike would be sick.

Default servos got wet!
Hey guys,

Today we had a race day (nitro 1/10th tourer) and it wasn't great weather, the track was still wet a bit but for the most part it was dry, there were a few wet patches, which I did drive over, (causing a minor splash)...anyways after driving over the splashes TWICE, I started to realise my steering servo decides to automatically adjust to whatever alignment it wants! its get twitchy when on idle making adjustments, (without engine on) and when driving it twitches and sometimes pulls to the right or left....I was told if water had gotten into my receiver it may cause the problem, so i stripped the receiver (which was wet), air compressed it and then hair dried it, which still has the same issue...and yes, my steering,throttle,aux, and obviously power is working.

My servos are controlled by spectrum 2.4ghz

What I want to know is, are my servo's gone? useless? or it a matter of opening up and thouroughly cleaning it to make sure no water is in there to stop this...?? is the water messing with the electrics?

or

What could be the issue here?

Please help! thanks in advance!

I'm getting sick of "noisy" and blurry pics from my point & shoot, so I'm thinking about getting a DSLR. Does anybody here use one, and if so which one and how do you like it compared to point & shoots?

I'm currently leaning towards getting a Nikon D40, as it seems to be the smallest, lightest, and cheapest DSLR, and still take good pics. Any opinions on this?

We will be hosting our first annual Midsummer Money Madness race on Saturday July 18th (rain date will be 7/19/2009) We will be giving out trophies and cash prizes for the posted classes. Please visit www.evolutionrcraceway.com for more details. We are looking for sponsors for this race and if interested please contact us. Hobby shop is located on site. We are limiting the number of entrants to 80 so sign up early if you can.

I had a good weekend. Took my friend Jim to Pin Shop and raced Slash. I TQ'ed and won the A-main. My friend did great for his first time.

Hi - I have a B44, and currently have the sidewinder 5700.

A couple of questions:
1) Sensored vs sensorless: I'd like to know your preference for racing applications. Is there a real performance difference?

2) Novak Havoc sport 8.5 brushless system. Is it any good for bashing?

Thanks!

New from AE:

Team Associated’s all-new shock towers and suspension mounts have been developed by our engineering staff and were race tested by factory team drivers. With a wide variety of tuning options for varying track conditions, both front and rear towers feature additional shock mounting positions while the rear tower also includes additional camber link positions.

CNC machined from 7075 aluminum, these new shock towers are standard equipment on the RC8B and can be fitted to existing RC8, RC8RS, and RC8e chassis. All installation hardware and a set of hinge pin bushings (front) are included.

New suspension mounts come standard on the RC8B, but are the perfect upgrade for all RC8, RC8T, and SC8 vehicles. Because they are CNC machined from 7075 aluminum, they offer a precision fit and are extremely durable. The A-Plate and C-plate come with all necessary installation hardware. The B-plate and D-plate come with all necessary installation hardware plus titanium nitride-coated hinge pins and a set of hinge pin bushings.
