- In this video I take my Tamiya Rough Rider, Hornet & Super Hotshot out for test runs and mess about with batteries, before I attend the Knox Vintage Bash 3.0 down in Melbourne with Jason @Bormac073 and Keith @rcicons4915. Thanks to Sacha & Scott @thehobbiesfactory808 located at Ourimbah, on the Central Coast for the advice on batteries.
That's a very nice selection of cars that you will bring to this event 👍 And an awesome place to test them 💪🤝
Thank you! I’m really looking forward to it. More fine tuning in progress…
I upgraded the bearings and the shocks on my hornet and used special oil in the gearbox, it went like sh*i of a shovel!
@@richardbradley2641 lol! I bet it did! 🤣 Mine on the grass with a flat 6.6v battery was probably the worst I’ve seen it go, not a good demo. The only decent battery I had went flat in the Hotshot. Up and down the drive with a 2s lipo it goes like stink and takes off over the slightest bump!
@@jason.bochniak How long did/do your batteries last? The model shop told me 15-20 mins run time per charge, I got 40-45 mins per battery after the upgrades even if fast charged!
The 2S 3100 stick pack ran for about 18mins after a full balanced charge in then Hotshot. The 6.6V Tamiya Life battery only lasted about 2 mins but I’ve just realised, I swapped it into the hornet and I thought it was flat after another 30 seconds. The problem is the ESC is set to high cut off in the Hornet which is for Lipo. The life batteries have a low cut off setting so I think there would be more juice in it. I’m going to fully charge it and have another run test. I haven’t tried the new 2S lipo shorty yet other than on the bench. It does spin the wheels up a lot faster though!
Cool video mate. Can't wait to see them go around the track! 👍
@@68burnout Thanks Ruud, it will be great. I guess there will be a ton of footage!
This is gonna be an epic bash.. wish we could go.. I’m hoping next year to take a vacation and visit Keith and do some racing on his newly built track
100%, I cannot wait! Shame you can’t make it but it’s one hell of a trip. Keith’s track looks the business, you’re lucky you can go there!
The srb is a great beast on the track. The ball diff made the biggest difference when i raced mine, just make sure you locktight it, mine came loose 1 lap into a race 😂
@@lo2713 Thanks Richard, great tip! Do you mean the main bolt holding it together? Im planning on doing it at the weekend.
@@jason.bochniak yeah, it dont say to thread lock it, but it needs it 👍
@@lo2713 OK thanks mate. I will do it!
It's fantastic that you are committing to this years event and we all get to hang out.
No worries Jase, thanks for the welcome. I’m sure it will be excellent!
Cool!
Would really like to see that hop-up!
@@noidnomis I’ll need to strip most of the buggy down to install it.
@@jason.bochniak True, but it'll be worth it..😎
Good stuff my man.👍
@@LukesVintageRC Cheers Luke!
Glad we could help again Jason!
Thanks Sacha, you guys are great!
Nice video 👍 i like to see the ball diff video 😁
Thanks Mark, I will do it just for you!
@@jason.bochniak top Man 😊
@@markconnor269 I’d better get on with it lol.
I have an Srb I use a 3800 lipo in it is short but doesn't not fit in the battery holder.I have to just strap it in.
Try putting your ESC in NiMH mode for LiFe batteries. 2S LiFe has lower peak and cutoff voltage comoared to LiPo, but similar cutoff voltage to 6 cell NiMH. Still not ideal for a race because the lower voltage means it will be slower than lipo!
@@Droidy77 Cheers, that’s the first thing I checked before charging and going again, it was already set for Life/NIMH. I’ll stick with the 2s shorty, lots of power and runtime!
@@jason.bochniak woohoo!
Love the nonsense. 😂
love the nonsense.😂
How much is that shorty pack in usd?
Approx $60 US
Are you going to get that hornet Evo? Amain in the united states is selling it for a hundred and sixty six ninety nine preorder.
Maybe, I'll have to ask the boss.
Does she ask you about what she wants .😂
@@bradkalman2353 not sure. I’ll check 🤣
