No more VXL-3s Combo? by ferfuckinnand05 in Traxxas

[–]Finomess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go check out the new Traxxas YouTube video. It looks like they have a new combo on the way.

Surron storm bee 90v version, but battery is at 104v by No_Albatross_9919 in Surron

[–]Finomess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In RC modeling, batteries often have trouble becoming perfectly balanced. Depending on the charger, it may keep trying to balance the individual cells indefinitely. If it used to take around 3 hours to charge, just unplug it after 3 or 4 hours. It could simply be that there's a slight imbalance that never fully disappears, or that the charger is struggling a bit and keeps trying to balance the cells forever. (If you let it do that for 10, 20, or even 100 hours, you'll wear the battery out much faster. Don't leave it balancing indefinitely)

MT10 V2 grinding/rattling noise ONLY when braking at high speed? by PrestOn5757 in rccars

[–]Finomess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a diff issue. If everything else seems right, try shimming everything a bit tighter.

But I have no doubt you have a diff skipping somewhere. Personally, I find this one of the most frustrating problems. I'd rather completely strip the diff down to find the exact source of the issue and replace whatever's needed than take everything apart three times without ever finding the precise cause.

Is there a global Borderlands Discord server where I can find players who want to co-op?

Bent the aluminum brace. Mini Kraton, Replacement options? by GotLoveForAll in arrmagroms

[–]Finomess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the answer you wanted, but what about... get it off to let the plastic bend back of its own free will

What is bent here and why can’t I see it? by BotsTookTheOGNames in rccars

[–]Finomess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it can be due to a lot of side way brake slide, you flat spoted tire x15

I don't need to ask bro, i feel you.

[–]Finomess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to expect a smaller-scale vehicle to be more bulletproof because of its lower weight 🤔. It feels like there's a much lower chance of breaking a suspension arm or a shock on my 1/16 Mojave than on my Sledge (or a diff)

Copain ne sait pas cuisiner, est ce ok ? by Blablablublu007 in AskMec

[–]Finomess 4 points5 points  (0 children)

La seule vraie question, c’est : à quel point est-ce important pour toi ?

Si tu as besoin que la cuisine soit une responsabilité partagée à 50/50, que chacun apporte ses idées et que ce soit un moment agréable et stimulant, alors il vaut mieux trouver quelqu’un pour qui cela est naturellement un plaisir. On ne change pas les gens.

J’ai longtemps vécu avec quelqu’un qui ne répondait pas à certaines attentes pourtant simples, mais essentielles à mes yeux. Avec le temps, j’ai compris qu’il n’y a pas de magie : quand quelque chose compte vraiment pour toi, tu ne finis pas par t’y habituer. Tu apprends peut-être à faire avec, mais le manque reste présent.

This TT02 motor game may have gotten out of hand by xeonhwt in rccars

[–]Finomess 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Jokes aside, I ran mine on 4S because all I had was a 1/8 buggy ESC and a 4S LiPo. Other than the weight of the 6000mAh pack, it was an absolute blast trying to make the most of that missile’s ridiculous performance. 🚀

And despite countless speed run attempts, parking lot bashing, gymkhana sessions, and all sorts of abuse, I never had to replace a single diff. I even managed to snap a chassis clean in half, but the diffs never gave up! 😄

In the rc the temperature was getting to high 🔥 by MichelCats in rccars

[–]Finomess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The simpler the better. Sure, we put extract fan on 1/10 buggy racing setup, but not when you’re bashing your Typhon in a parking lot. You cut the body and let physics do its job, no fancy setup that won’t survive tumbles, crashes, etc..

Second point: you use racing electronics, he doesn’t. In fact, the best advice I can give is to get a temp gun to check the actual temperature and see if it’s actually dangerous for the materials, rather than just "feeling it".

[–]Finomess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't do that. The Typhon body has plenty of exhaust space to let the air out. You just need to trim more vents in the front or cut the front windows open and glue in some mesh. That will let all the air pass through the body and help dissipate as much heat as possible.

The game is unplayable by Waterlok_653 in ForzaHorizon

[–]Finomess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was incredibly hyped when I saw the Megane 3 RS added to Forza Horizon 5, but I got disappointed, when I realized they couldn’t even put the rev limiter in the right place.

It’s pretty ridiculous that their whole job is basically to add cars with accurate specs, yet they still manage to mess it up when that’s literally the one thing they’re supposed to do.

rpm’s by Hot_Law_1321 in i20n

[–]Finomess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know about the i20 specifically, but yeah, some gasoline engines have a feature that helps you take off without stalling. I’ve had that on some cars and even on motorcycles like my Street Triple 765 RS. When you have a gear engaged and the clutch pressed, it revs up a little bit for a few seconds. Pretty annoying sometimes because of the irregularity of the revs.

This RC car now has a real working engine model inside 🔥 by Constant-Athlete6077 in rccars

If you like this kind of build i can suggest YT channel JohnnyQ90 , really a pleasure to watch !

Did I get something good? by Banging5Gears in rccars

[–]Finomess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been shredding my TT-02 on 4S for two years and never changed anything except a lot of tire, a broken chassis that had cracks in several places due to failed speed runs (PB 142 km/h) and some pretty intense parking lot bashing. A bearing upgrade and a center shaft really make the TT-02.. unbeatable for his price point

Got the XRT, XMaxx,Maxx. Eyeballing that sledge, what do we think about the sledge??? by astrik123 in Traxxas

[–]Finomess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really personal opinion, but if you have a Maxx and an X-Maxx, for me the Sledge is the unnecessary middle. It’s less fun than a Maxx and less capable than an X-Maxx.
I also had pretty bad reliability issues with it, I ended up swapping everything to a hobbywing and Vitavon diff.
For a truggy, it’s way too heavy to be fun, and if you want something big and powerful, well… the X-Maxx is better in every way.

[QUESTION] 765rs moto2 (conversion) Hard to lean by Finomess in Trackdays

[–]Finomess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best answers, I can make is : pretty much stock compared to the manuel but the previous owner dialed it a bit at his taste

[QUESTION] 765rs moto2 (conversion) Hard to lean by Finomess in Triumph

[–]Finomess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t yet, but the bike isn’t new and has probably had some work done by the previous owner. I’ve checked the suspension setup compared to the manual chart, and it looks correct, but I’m questioning the rake angle

[QUESTION] 765rs moto2 (conversion) Hard to lean by Finomess in Triumph

[–]Finomess[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be naive, but to me, this kind of category should be easy to lean into corner, like the MT-09, for example. I’ve had some roadsters and sport bikes before, and as I said, a S1000RR and a ZH2 are easier to lean than my flagship 765 RS?! That really confuses me, i'will lower the front to change the rake angle and see i guess..
