Hello how many cells are you running on the tamiya esc?

[tribouyou]

OK, And thank you for your answer...

I have 2 minis inferno LAV in my wall cupboard.

For my son and for me.

But we must await Christmas.

I am building a true circuit behind my house.

I would film all that after Christmas.

Excuse me for my English: I am French

no Probs, your English is better than my French!..the LAV's mini infernos are superb, so good luck with the track in the garden, my sons have two and i have mine, so 3 in all.

If yours are stock, use 2100 or higher Mah AA nimhs, they should give more speed..cheers Abby

I take two packs 9.6V 1600 mAh for the moment.

Later, I would change the receiver and I would put brushless but I hesitate between 5200Kv and 7800Kv.

[tribouyou]

Nice !!!...

Is your Mini inferno stock ?

Which motor ?

Wich Accu ?

[omega4200]

thanks, its not totally stock, its got bearings through out, the mini servo died, so replaced with full size one, much better on steering, the kyosho receiver/esc combination died too, so put tamiya TEUbk, better brakes.

the Motor is the kyosho upgrade black xpeed.

also 3racing blue gear, and one pinion up from stock..ohh and kyosho nimh pack..thanks

are u using the TEU-101BK esc? does it work on a 9.6V battery??

[omega4200]

hi there, the Kyosho 9.6 pack has a battery reduction unit, it should come with the pack, its just a connects on.

Kyosho recommends you use it, i guess it drops the voltage down?..the Teu-101BK is superb, my kyosho one died and this all i had around, it works really good, better brakes etc..it just does not like any moisture/water..mines in a balloon..hope this helps..

[WallaceNg100]

oh which one do u get? cuz mine is just a normal inferno RtR, the one with the black esc, and i cant find anything like that in the box.

And mine doesnt go smooth as well, is there any parts that is really nessesary? like shocks, and bearing?

[omega4200]

Hi there, my Inferno came as a LAV, i think the only difference is the body (which is alot heavier than lexan) and the oil shocks. Do you have the saddle pack battery? or do you have the trays for the 6 AA's? I think the RTRs have plastic bushings in the wheels, i upgraded mine with metal bearings you need 8, this will smooth the whole car up. Also if you have the saddle battery pack (Red in color) upgrade the motor to X-speed..i put a slightly bigger pinion on too, gives more top end.

[WallaceNg100]

i bought my battery pack seperately, and i hv already got a Xspeed motor. I wanted to get oil shocks for it too. The speed is ok for now, just the car isnt smooth enough, and the motor also get really hot after a few mins play time. I think there might be problems there. Do i need to change the diff. too?

[omega4200]

hi there, re the battery pack does your lead from the battery connect directly to the black speedo/reciever? if so i think the motors getting hot because you've not got the battery drop down, google kyosho battery reduction unit (mini inferno) i bought my first pack with this, the second saddle pack was alot cheaper as it did not have it..do you have the bearings in the wheels? this will eliminate some drag, i did'nt change my diffs at all, they just sound 'clicky' which is normal i think..

[WallaceNg100]

no i dont hv my bearing yet, ok then i think i need to get those. but i hv seen lots of people using 9.6v without dropping the voltage, so i think it might be ok

[omega4200]

ok no probs, i'm no expert in these matters, but i reckon the bearings will help alot, i guess your heat problems are to do with the 9.6v pack, i guess it will burn your motor out quicker or your esc, i've not tried mine without the drop down but ,my xspeed motor does not get too hot, even with the heavy hard plastic LAV shell, good luck anyway, Cheers..

[WallaceNg100]

u better not trying it without the drop down, becuz I hv a 101bk esc too and it says only for 7.4v max

but just my esc can handle it, so im just trying in 9.6v and its much faster then the dropping to 7.2v
