MicroRCEngineering,

I blew out forward

in a ES-01. I tried it in my DTM-SP with a GPM 180 High Speed motor!

So, what was that about it being able to handle 180 size motors?

there are a lot of factors here. First, there are several 180 versions. I was referring to the HPI stock, and ABC Stock. These are basically stock 180 sized motors. Your 180 GPM HS maybe a hotter motor, which pushed the es01 beyond the limits. The only way to avoid this is to get an esc with NOMOTORLIMIT. hehe.

Like the new Novak Spy or Atom!!!

I'd like to get an ABC DTM SP too in the near future, so I've been researching into which small esc, servo, motor to buy. To get ready for it, I've just ordered the following:

RX: Hitec HFS-03MM
Servo: GWS Naro HP Plus BB
ESC: IPD Race-20

Motor:
From this thread, it sounds like the GPM 180 may be the fastest 180-class motor that can fit the DTM SP w/o any motor plate mod. Is this true? Anyone knows any other high-performance 180-class motor?

By the way, I still cannot find any web site or LHS that sells replacement parts, let alone hop-ups, for the ABC DTM SP!? This annoys & worries me a lot cause I like this car.

If I cannot find satisfying support for this car, then I won't want to invest into it. I may just look into the Dynamite 1/24 w/ a sturdy fiber-glass double-deck chassis.

One thing I don't understand is why TRC only carries the car itself (plus only 2 recently added bodies - out of the many dozens shown at the ABC web site). Wouldn't customers buying the DTM SP from this site want to buy replacement parts from you too? I don't quite get it. Does anyone know when the situation will be improved? A date will help me a lot on my planning and the final selection on my next purchase.

You can order every single part for the DTM SP and X4 directly from http://www.horizonhobby.com

WHY, man WHY didn't you order the Novak ESC????

Cancel it quick and order a Novak SPY. I bought mine for 65 bucks, you can set it up for reverse OR brakes!

I am sure it's smaller too!!

Sorry I am not farmiliar with the sevo you bought is it a mini or a micro?

DAMZer · #25 08-25-2002, 11:10 AM

Gertman is right. The Spy is an awesome little speed control that will handle up to 380 size motor. More than enough for the DTM or the ABC.

Once you use one of these, you'll be spoiled for life.

Clique, this is a great question; first of all let me point out than we can get just about anything even if you don't see it in the Shop, which includes all ABC parts, any electronics, etc. A lot of the time the turnaround on this is as fast as a few days. We're currently working on expanding our lineup to all of the ABC parts, bodies, electronics etc. You can expect more and more products over the next few weeks. And don't let the apparent lack of parts delay your purchase of the SP, because as mentioned earlier, we can get any part you need, even if you don't see it in the Shop.

Info on the GWS servo can be found here:

http://www.aeromicro.com/Catalog/gws...ba__804556.htm

I was interested in the Hitec HS 60 Super Micro, but the GWS seems to be cheaper, smaller, higher in torque output, and has a ball bearing. Please take a look the link provided above and see for yourself, may be you'd like it too.

Regarding my ESC choice...I think the Race-20 is smaller and lighter than the SPY, but I could be wrong though. And there is a chance that I will get a RS4 Micro and run it with more cells and a more demanding motor than the SPY can handle. So it seems like the Race-20 can do better (and is cheaper too) than the SPY except for the missing reverse function, which I'm used to not having anyway. And I did look into the SPY and actually liked the overall design and quality a lot, so I may as well get one to replace the Race-20 on the ABC SP after the Race-20 into my future RS4 Micro.

Anyway, thanks for the recommendation.

TRC, thanks for your kind support to the products you sell here. I just ordered from you the RTR Mini-X last week, and I'll be looking forward to ordering the ABC SP in a few weeks.

My question now is: if all ABC SP/X4 parts can be made available for me to purchase thru this site, how do I know what prices you're selling the parts at if they are not listed here? Also, if you don't list them (stock and hop-ups) out in your site, then people will have to check out the Hobbico site and, for the convenience, may just order from there. Wouldn't it generate more revenues to your Shop and give your frequent forum visitors some convenience if you provide info on all parts that we can buy thru you? I'm just thinking that more business to you would permit you to keep this site on-going and make it even better and more complete. Anyway, please don't mind my suggestions that can take you much time to implement. I guess you may be just like us who work a full-time job else where, right?

What are you talking about? Hobbico does NOT sell parts for ABC cars!!!! It's Horizon

How many cells are we talking about? 10, 12? Otherwise you should be fine.

the race-20 can handle 480 motors and 10 cells if im not mistaken. i have one, though its sad it has no on/off switch. also clique, maybe you should consider the hitec hs-81(mg). they are $18-22 at www.servocity.com and also FREE shipping
