Hi everyone,
Just got an M18 Pro a few weeks ago, and got it up and running. I'm using 5 cell NiMh 1400mah packs from Maxamps, Mamba 25 ESC and 6800kv motor, and the HiTec HS81 servo. I have the Novak Mongoose system on pre-order.
I've noticed alot of people talking about the Hitec servo. I also have the 82 model. Can anyone explain the differences? I got the 81 in a car I bought off of ebay, brand new, never used. When I took it out of the car to put in the M18, I ordered a 82 online to replace the 81 in the other car. But I think I'd like the better one in the M18. What are the good and bad things about these servos?
Alot of people here talk about the multi-diff and something called a one-way. What are these? I'm currently running my front diff tighter than the rear diff, and i have had absolutely no trouble on either an asphalt oval or an asphalt road track. It steers wonderfully! What are these other diff options, and what reasons would one need to use them?
I have to say, the M18 is awesome! I was running against a few 1/10th nitro cars last weekend, and while they destroyed me on the straightaways, I was keeping up perfectly on the turns and short straights! This car absolutely flies!
