ok.... since my parents bought my brother his class ring like 5 years ago... i'm trying to convince them that since he could wear it after about a year because he grew (maybe he shoulda got a bigger size) duh...

anyway. i'm trying to convince them to give me the money that they'd pay for the ring and blowing it all on my TC3 that's sitting on my shelf collecting dust because i don't have money to make it run.

all i need is a motor, esc, and servo. 200 plus the 46 i have right now is nice. :D

Fantom 13x2 Modified motor.........$50
Futaba MC330CR ESC.................$70
Hitec metal gear servo.............$40
peak 2400 powerplant...............$40

that's $200. that leaves $46 to blow on dress up parts. HPI rims, proline tires, HPI honda civic or nissan skyline. motor heatsink.

yeah i don't have near enough for the dress up parts but for the weekly chores i'll get up there eventually. :)

yo id just get a 10 dollar futaba s3003, why spend so much on a servo when your running an elec tc? then youll have 76 to BLOW on parts, what kind of connectors you going to use with the whole set up? stock tamiya?

i'm thinking of getting deans connectors and putting them on my T3 also. i can also just buy new gears for my futaba s3003. because i always strip the large black one.

Well you might be right but in RCCA they claimed a dead shorted NiCd could pump 1000 ampres so i think your number might be a bit off. I might be wrong just some rant i had to go on. :rolleyes:
