what dose a boost do??
 

ive heard of people talking about boost and other stuff like that and i have no clue what it is??? can someone explain to me what it is???

RX-7 with a 3.0

It's a replacement chassis, and it requires the 4ch controller; when you apply the Boost, it effectively adds "1.0" to the motor speed, making for example a 1.0 into a 2.0 and a 2.2 into at 3.2 (etc.).

3.0 to a 4.0:D

Wow, I don't even have a 3.0 yet and I can boost to a 4.0 when it comes in???? KEWL!!!!

can someone explain to me step by step how i make this boost stuff work???

actually
 

it actually gives you dual speeds, you don't HAVE to have a multi controller, but if you have one, then that's what the "action button" is for. hit it and bam! quik boost:D

how much does a boost cost, and how much does a boost controler cost???

Yes, you do HAVE to have a multi controller for the booster cars. They use a different control encoding in the frequency. That's why there's an A-B-C switch on the multi controller. A for non-boosters, B for boosters, and C for future products. C also controls the booster, but you lose the slow speed ability (constant boost).

Step one - Buy Booster car set.
Step two - Buy Multi controller
Step three - Push boost button to go faster.

Boost is non-existent on other cars.

I'm not sure about the "adding 1.0 to your motor", but the booster with a 2.2 is faster than a normal 2.2, but the slow speed is slower than a normal 2.2.

We have the controller available in the Shop, and the Boost chassis are on the way.

will the boost only last fo so long? will the chassis fit other badys too?:confused:

Well from what I understand when the car is running without boost it is a lot slower than normal e.g. a 3.0 motor will run much slower and therefore controllable. When you hit the boost button it gets full power and runs like any other 3.0

Useful when you need to slow down for corners and tricky bits, but it is not a way of getting a 3.0 to go like a 4.0!

But then my booster set arrived dead in the post so I haven't had a chance to try it yet :-(

man that sucks your car arrived dead man sorry

someone once said that the way the boost works is that the machine flicks the power on and off really fast so it goes slower, then when you press the boost button it goes full speed.

Boost
 

Please let me explain this.
The car must have the 'booster' RX deck. The X-mitter must be the 4 band controller. When the car is raced, it normally will travel at about .7 normal speed. Press the boost button and you get full speed. The 1.0 and 3.0 motors don't respond properly. Don't use them. You can burn out the receiver. (Go IR.) I haven't tried the 3.8 motor yet. Hopefully next week.
Concerning IR: The steering actuator of a BCG is just that, a magnetic actuator. This is not the reason that the IR conversion doesn't have prop steering. Magnetic actuators have been used in R/C planes for 50 years. We fly mico-planes with them today. Check out rcmicroflight.com

I am considering building an 0.020 powered R/C car. I have to find a proper flywheel.

Wow, those little planes are amazing! Can you buy them, or are they all self-built?
