340 - Back to the Plain

Summer holidays have been over, we have been back in Venice and before my cars (BBX and Ultima) and all the RC stuff have been packed awaiting to be carried back to my parents home (I haven't room enough here in Venice to store RC stuff).

During last rides on my lawn I've noticed that ESC and motors runs very hot, the ESC reached often its thermal protection and some bullet connectors  melted. Running on the grass isn't easy without options enough to switch spur and pinion and using 15x2 old school motors (Reedy in the Tamiya BBX and Peak in the Kyosho Ultima) doesn't help. I will not quit with that motors and I will not switch down to less powerful ones so I will buy a good sets of pinions for both.

Unfortunately one of the overheated connector hit the Ultima's body melting the lexan of the right window. It's a shame because I love how the Ultima's body turned out but I will not change it because I love RC cars that show the singns of use and abuse.

For sure I will switch from 3,5 mm bullet connectors to something efficient and I guess it will be for XT60 ones.
