That is exactly the problem, color0. Aluminum and Carbon Fiber are sufficiently different galvanicly that aluminum will corrode Carbon Fiber when it is in contact with it (under fairly common...

This is very helpful information for worries about surface problems; fiberglass is a very recommended material for lying between carbon fiber and aluminum. But as I’ve said before, the main concern...

I don’t know. It is why I asked. But I doubt that Radio Shack is going to reinvent the servo when there are plenty of useful servos of this size, especially in model airplane circles.

Your end bell has a bearing too, yes?

The Ball Differential: LSD, USD, or LGD?

Steering Mod by Server Gear Changes?

Anyone tried using different gear sets in the XMODS steering servo to get similar results to changing the steering resistors? All in all, isn’t it better for the life of the car?

mAh is a measure of battery life. It is litterally “milliAmps * hours”.

So, if you want a battery that can discharge:
500 miliAmps (0.5 Amps) for 1+1/2 hours (3/2 hours),
you just multiply:

What motor modifications require more current, and thus require fets?

Is changing the magnets going to affect current usage?

Silver Texalium?

I was just poking through Zero’s “Chassis” thread, and read about the Silver Texalium chassis. Wondering what it was, I looked it up. It’s carbon fiber that has somehow been covered in Aluminum.

Caught red handed

Looks like ya caught me, Zero. I thought I’d let you know first, since you actually sell a sweet CF chassis. I don’t know how the aluminum thing affects driveshafts yet, but I’ll be looking into it.

Fibers only you say? That’s just the problem.

This is just the problem, though. When you drill holes into carbon fiber, you expose the ends of fibers that run throughout the plate. And where is the most likely place to put bolts and screws? You...
