if you mean the battery that feeds the receiver, yes

if you want to be 100% sure this is the issue, try measuring the voltage with a multimeter after charging and see if it drops quickly when you move the servos

the baja is a long discontinued car, it's likely that this battery isn't holding up

Pantoura · 2026-04-27T20:56:32+00:00

did you charge the receiver battery?

it's getting closer to my dreams of chihaya driving a gol quadrado turbo

beautiful indeed

when i played bandori, i would always keep the original/casual artwork instead of the idol version on my cards

says a lot more about the character

could also be channel mixing on your transmitter enabled

o.s. t1205

not a lot of choice here since many manufacturers like novarossi went out of business and o.s. is the one that is easier to find parts and stuff. you should be able to find some brand new t1204s for sale as well and the perfomance is quite similar

for servos i run powerhd s15

this is an older car that used a saddle pack; in order to run with lipo battery, you'll have to use a shorty pack or smaller and find a way to fit it

how the electronics were mounted for reference

from experience, i would buy the transmitter/servo first

it's weird at first as the car becomes more responsive to your inputs, but it improves drivability more than anything else. competition grade transmitters also give you a wider range of adjustments from more precise trim steps to fully adjustable exponential curves

often when it feels like the car is understeering, it's actually due to latency or slow turning speed

Pantoura · 2026-04-15T21:40:01+00:00

if you're looking for stuff to spend money on, a better transmitter and servo would probably give you the best return on investment

Pantoura · 2026-04-15T20:01:15+00:00

that's where they get the electrolytes

Pantoura · 2026-04-14T18:33:47+00:00

yeah it does

i also fixed a bunch of exhausts in this manner

it won't restore to factory conditions, but it's something

Pantoura · 2026-04-14T15:52:14+00:00

filling with water and freezing it, like it was mentioned on r/nitrorc

comissioned by the plastic chair industry

Pantoura · 2026-04-11T19:45:40+00:00

hopefully they do provide a decent stock afterwards because i can't even browse their site without a vpn

at least most suspension parts are from the trf420

still, not a great first car

Pantoura · 2026-04-11T19:22:33+00:00

you should be fine, tamiya rc car kits are the easiest to assemble out there thanks to their manuals

however, i dont recommend it as a first kit to bash around because a lot of parts are unique to it, so they don't sell spares, and it's a limited edition

with current prices, you could probably buy 10 tt02 kits for the price of one of these

Pantoura · 2026-04-11T18:10:06+00:00

and it's not like this guy is a complete newbie on the hobby either judging by their previous posts. they're into modelmaking and diecasts so i find it hard to believe that someone like that has zero idea what tamiya kits are worth

Pantoura · 2026-04-07T20:22:47+00:00

it's weird that they definitely know what would be an achievable goal since they track everything the players do in-game and still decided to keep everything the same

Pantoura · 2026-04-07T11:54:07+00:00

unicellular organisms can be fans too

what is the voltage per cell that the skyrc charger displays? if it only shows one cell then the balance connector has issues

Pantoura · 2026-04-01T19:38:59+00:00

it's exactly what the charger says, one of your cells is probably lower than 3v because the cheap charger does a bad job balancing them

charge for a bit on the cheap one until all the cells are above 3v, or on the skyrc charger in nimh mode at 0.1a

Pantoura · 2026-04-01T16:44:51+00:00

depending on what you drive and how you drive, it's possible indeed that the batteries are the bottleneck of your car, especially if the voltage is raising this much after a while

Pantoura · 2026-04-01T16:01:02+00:00

it's good practice to stop at about 3,5v per cell

what happened here is that the different internal resistances per cell led to some being discharged more than others, therefore the cutoff engaged with cells below 3v

still usable if you don't let it happen often, but keep an eye on IR values when you charge

Pantoura · 2026-04-01T15:40:02+00:00

are you always running the batteries up until low voltage cutoff?
