Hey Gandhar while posting within 15 or so mins of a previous post you can use the "modify post" option on the top right side of the previous post Smiley

Also:
The Tower site says Transmitter (Ace Cougar PS3 3-Channel 2.4GHz Programmable Radio ) needs 4 AA cells
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LNAURR

While rcskyhobby site says transmitter needs 12 AA batteries:
http://www.rcskyhobby.com/products.php?prd_id=18&main_page=products

and on thunder tiger site it says tx needs 8 AA cells:
http://www.tiger.com.tw/product/8307.html


So which one is it?

Well, I would strongly suggest saving up and going for a better car..
Since I recently got a Slash 4x4, I now suggest Traxxas! I love how its truly RTR! Plus, as a beginner, anyone can put it on training mode till you feel comfortable.. Parts support really isn't a problem for TT or Traxxas.. Or even HPI

HPI is also a good brand.. You could look them up..
Give Jayanth a call.. He'll help you out!

Thanks. Will keep that in mind Smiley

Is there any differnence between using "training mode" in Traxxas and "dual rates" in other radios say a TTr or HPI ? Same thing right?

The difference is huge.

Dual rates are for servos and stuff.Don't remember the exact details.

The training mode on the other hand is a profile on the VXL ESC series.(dunno if its available on their brushed ESCs).What it basically does is limit the power to 50% forward and reverse and 100% brake power.

Yeah but if rates can be changes for the servo channel it can be for the throttle channel as well right? If the tx itself transmits 50% max throttle it doesnt make a difference which ESC is used. Asking this as i read elsewhere that any car can be used for learning if the dual rates are kept low. Now im confused Cheesy

hmm........not exactly sure it can be done.I prefer the training mode.Its basically got the power of an equivalent sized brushed setup.So as far as I am concerned,I am actually driving a brushless which is putting out a power output of a brushed on demand.Took it to full power and I was Shocked Shocked

Dual rate is how faar your servos will move, like how far the steering turns.
What u r talkign of is Throttle ATV which is a better thing then trx training mode. Because this thing is ranging from 0-100 so u can adjust anything b/w 0 to full speed

I simply started on Sport mode, because I get to learn throttle control.. VERY important in racing.. But, that's because I can easily managed a brushed setup..  Cheesy

I'm not too sure, but even the Traxxas radio comes with Throttle expo.. Gotta read more!  Giggle

Does the Phoenix or sparrowhawk radio have this?

The PS3i radio has EPA on throttle channel. Will this be the same as ATV?

reply to  post #71.

as a Phoenix owner, it is one of the cheapest RC's u can buy and as far as the truck goes its pretty sturdy.

it performs admirably on road and dirt roads. but lack of 4wd quickly shows its weaknesses. it gets stuck pretty easy on really rocky surfaces and tall grass and sand.

but its pretty tough. did some full throttle jumps abt 10-15 feet high and it survived all of them. including some very bad landings. did not break till now.

only problems i have faced are the gear mesh constantly keeps geting messed up and my next problem might have happened to me alone, but my Tx eats through batteries faster than my truck can drain its battery Sad i run thru 2 sets of batteries for one charge of the truck battery. dunno why.

but i would recommend the truck for hard dirt roads as its pretty low to the ground and never tips over or anything.

bottomline - its fun for its price. but if u can get something like a sparrowhawk or a E-revo vxl go for it.
