Bought Some Goodies

[Guest]

So I decided to do some shopping for the XB. I purchased the Turtle Racing V2 pull starter and their finned clutch case. I also wanted to try a lipo set up for the servos. I ordered a Thunder Power 7.4volt 4000mah receiver pack to power a Hitec 5765 for steering and a Hitec 5685 for throttle/brake. I ordered a Killer RC smart volt meter to make it easier to watch power levels. We will see how the Flysky likes 7.4volts.


I now can donate the 5755 & 645 to the XSC project. I ordered a killer bee for the XSC yesterday. To bad for me its on deal of the day at DDM today.


I get some pics up when I get the goodies installed.

Great buys each platform will enjoy the upgrades.

I am not patient when I want to try something. For those of you who might consider a lipo setup. Killer RC will be coming out with a 6500+mah 7.4volt lipo receiver pack for about $50. It is suppose to be close to the same size as the standard hump pack. They should be available in about 30 days. I will definitely pick up a few when they are released.

I finally had some time and installed the TR finned clutch case. Here it is. I hope to install the pull starter tonight.

Turtle makes some beautiful parts.

Does the finned clutch case make any difference on something or just looks?

Yeah.... I am also installing the aluminum servo mount, so I left them out. I will be removing that top plate. I am converting to high voltage servos to be run by a 7.4 volt lipo receiver pack.

The fins help keep the clutch cool by not allowing engine heat to transfer to the clutch. Keeping the clutch cooler helps prevent clutch fade.

I like that clutch case alot. Is that just a rubber grommet in the top of it for clutch adjustments.

 

[Guest]

Yes correct. If your running an adjustable clutch you can make adjustments with out taking it part.

 

[GTS 666]

That's alot nicer touch than mine I just have my case notched for adjusting the clutch.

Installed the TR pull starter. It pulls easier for sure. Installs in about 10-15 minutes. For the Xseries you must trim the side guard as it is about a 1/4" wider.

Turtle did a great job. It's beautiful.

 

[Guest]

I like how you can rotate it in small increments.

Got the high volt servos mounted up. Now I just need to plug everything together and see if the FS receiver can handle it.
