    Converting the AMP MT to a Circuit ST (to race!)

    What happened to this thread? Did Anthony Fauci cancel it?!?

    Well gentlemen it has been a fun ride.

    Hopefully this message from HH means they will retain ECX!!! I've been teaching kids 6 -- 18 yrs Engineering through building, driving, maintaining and repairing RC cars for decades = many many hundreds of students! I've used many brands over the years and found the ECX Amp , build to drive the...

    AMP MT Kit S6170 Servo Stuttering

    I have lots of RC cars and have had Projects Lab programs for years with dozens of my own cars and hundreds of kids getting their own cars through me. I have had many Associated RC10Ts and Lost XXXTs, Traxxas and ECX AMPS. As kits have become more and more rare over the years for several years...

    Want to go brushless...

    -->Heyitsyou, Thanks for the info--especially the motor sizes! Sorry to make you write so much as I've been running many brushless motors for over 10 years on Nimh (along with everyone else in the beginning of brushless RC) I'm still running many of the ones I bought 10 years ago because they...

    Want to go brushless...

    --> Heyitsyou. Thanks for the info--makes sense. I should have made it clear that these cars are for kids 9--13 driving in a schoolyard so we are happy not going fast but like the longer runtimes of brushless AND are still using Nimh packs--again don't need more speed or $ for Lipo packs--nor...

    Want to go brushless...

    I know about brushless having a number of them, Thanks. The question is about this specific very inexpensive set of motor, esc AND MG servo --> http://tinyurl.com/y97oh8gq 1--does anyone know about this set or GoolRC in general? 2--Can a 380 (F540) run an Amp MT on woodchips and dried grass...

    ESC Mounting

    I think double-sided tape should work--had it on cars for years and it's still on! Thing is you have the get the real RC tape not office stuff. It costs more but works! Unless you used the good stuff and it came off?? Clean all areas to be taped with Windex or alcohol and let it dry Or maybe...

    Ya, I'd not use weight but a tooth or two bigger for pinion then learn to be easier on throttle finger :-)

    Performance increasing advice for my AMP's stock parts?

    First thing I'd get is a Hi-Torque servo with metal gears. $40 hi tec or other and it will be a different truck. Not that the Amp's servo is weak--this upgrade is good for any truck that doesn't come with a hi torque = most trucks. The higher gear ratio mentioned above will give a higher top...

    What's the best brushless motor For amp

    So, Why did you lose a wheel = Did the nut just come loose or did something break?? The Amp is not meant for that much power but it is a worthy experiment to push the limit and see what it can take :-)

    I got Boosted

    If you can give them three packs each = one cooling one charging and one driving. Unless you have high enough mah that they can have continuous driving with two? And if motors aren't brushless they must cool down sometimes too--this can help the chargers catch up. I have small fans around for...

    I got Boosted

    I have been working regularly with a dozen kids at a time in that exact age range, all with their own cars for decades. I put tape with nimbers on their packs so they know which is what and have a system where hot packs go under the fan to cool--a cool one goes on the charger and the charged...
