ok so it was an INTERESTING AND FUN FILLED DAY to say the least at the bash with freddy, bank, jud, baileiz and magoo today lol.
when i first got to the bash site i knew i had to charge the batts WELL i didnt know you needed different wires to charge the batts and balance SO i had to make a quick run down to hobby fever to get the right plugs thankfully they had what i needed.
got back to the site, plug the charger into my car batt and bank proceded to program it and read the directions since i hate reading..... after bout 15 mins it was ready everyone was jumping away from the car after hearing the horror stories about the batts catching fire and what not so i was the brave soul that held the enter button to commence charging.... all went well lol and after 55 mins i had 2 completely charge batts.
NOW TO THE GOOD PART, i was skeptical of plugging the batts into the esc as i didnt want to see flames or smoke but i got over it and pluged them in and all was good for all of 2 mins... we turn the truck on and hear beeps (we were all electric noobs so didnt know what it ment lol) bank proceded to read the (drivers ed) book and we figured out how to sync the remote the the reciver and what not... after reading the book and on the LAST STEP i was fooling with the trigger and as bank read "and the truck is now armed" the truck JUMP unexpectingly at full trottle hitting me in the arm and shooting rocks allll over the place as everyone was taking cover i walked to the truck to shut it off... well the idiot that i am shut the TX off before getting to the truck and what do ya know the dam thing goes full throttle back flips lands on its lid and all i see is a tire go shooting under banks car and pieces just fly EVERYWHERE.
i stripped the pinion gear, the knuckle exploded into 3 pieces the anntena broke off the RX and blew the bead on a second tire.... all within 1 min of plugging the dang batts in... lol
to be continued....
