Synopsis

This title covers the upgrade and maintenance tips & techniques for a broad range of Tamiya offroad EP models. Many current models and rerelease models are covered. (we are NOT associated with Tamiya). What makes us unique is that, rather than just telling you what upgrade kits to buy, we tell you what quick fixes and workarounds can be applied to solve problems when you don't have all the parts handy. We even go one step further by telling you what preventive measures can be taken to avoid problems.  Book TOC: END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT 7 PREFACE 10 TERMS AND THEORIES 12 TOOLS YOU’RE GOING TO NEED 12 SOLDERING TECHNIQUES 17 SUPPLIES NEEDED 17 STEPS IN SOLDERING 18 SOLDERING BATTERY CELLS 19 PROPER HANDLING OF THE SCREWS 19 THE PROPER WAYS OF TAKING THINGS APART AND PUTTING THEM BACK TOGETHER 21 PARTS CAR 23 YOUR UPGRADE OBJECTIVES 24 ASSEMBLY KIT VS READY-TO-RUN 29 THE CHASSIS AND ITS MATERIAL 35 WEIGHT & WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION 37 STRUCTURAL STURDINESS 40 BATTERY COMPARTMENT 48 BUMPER 50 THE DRIVE SYSTEM 55 TRACTION 55 2WD VS 4WD 56 SHAFT DRIVE SYSTEM VS BELT DRIVE SYSTEM 59 EXPERT TIPS 63 GEARS AND BEARINGS 64 GEAR RATIO AND GEAR PITCH 64 MORE ON GEAR RATIOS 67 DIFFERENTIAL GEAR 67 SPOOL DIFFERENTIAL 69 ONE-WAY UNIT 70 CLEANING THE GEARS 71 EXPERT TIPS 71 THE BEARINGS 73 CLEANING THE BEARINGS 74 SPECIAL NOTE: DOG BONE END FLOAT AND FALLOFF 75 EXPERT TIPS 77 THE MOTOR 79 BRUSHED MOTORS 79 MOTOR TURNS 82 EXPERT TIPS 83 BRUSHLESS MOTORS 85 MOVING FROM BRUSHED TO BRUSHLESS 86 OPTIMIZING YOUR BRUSHED MOTOR 88 PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION 88 UNDERWATER BREAK IN 89 MOTOR BUSHING BREAK IN 91 ADDING TORQUE TO THE MOTOR 92 MOTOR MAINTENANCE 92 USING 11.1V TO POWER YOUR VEHICLE 94 SENSORED BL VS SENSORLESS BL 95 THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM 96 OVERVIEW 96 COMPONENTS OF A SUSPENSION SYSTEM 98 THE DAMPERS 100 DOUBLE WISHBONE VS SINGLE WISHBONE 103 FINE TUNING THE SHOCK ABSORPTION FUNCTION 103 MAKING YOUR OWN DAMPER SPRINGS 107 THE USE OF STABILIZER BAR 108 EXPERT TIPS 108 THE WHEELS AND THE TIRES 112 CAMBER, CASTER AND TOE ANGLE 112 TYPES OF TIRE AND THEIR USE 116 TIRE PERFORMANCE FACTORS 119 EXPERT TIPS 120 R/C ELECTRONICS 122 THE REMOTE CONTROLLER SET 122 RECEIVER AND SERVO 124 SERVO WITH CORED MOTOR VERSUS SERVO WITH CORELESS MOTOR 126 ANALOG SERVOS VERSUS DIGITAL SERVOS 127 MIXING AND MATCHING CONTROLLERS, RECEIVERS AND SERVOS 127 SPEED CONTROLLER: MSC VERSUS ESC 129 COOKING YOUR ESC… 133 WHAT IF THEY GOT WET… 134 MIXING AND MATCHING RECEIVER, ESC AND SERVO 134 EXPERT TIPS 136 THE WIRES 138 CHOOSING WIRE: STRANDED WIRE VS SOLID WIRE 139 THE CONNECTORS 140 THE BATTERIES 142 DISCHARGE CHARACTERISTICS 143 VOLTAGE VS MAH 144 NICDS VS NIMHS 145 SANYO, PANASONIC AND GP 146 PROLONGING THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY 146 THE CHARGER 147 SLOW CHARGING VS FAST CHARGING 149 MEMORY EFFECT 150 PROPER CHARGER CONFIGURATION 150 LIPO BATTERIES 156 EXPERT TIPS 157 TROUBLESHOOTING R/C ELECTRONICS 158 CLEANING OF ELECTRICAL CONTACTS 158 USING MULTIMETER 160
