Hi,
As in Topic, I am newbie and just bought Tamiya Racing Fighter. I need some tips for now and probably even more in nearest future.
I have plan to use model once/ twice per week on gravel.
1. I read about LiPo and NiMh batteries. Because of safety reasons and low maintenance, I think I prefer NiMh. Are those batteries totally safe? Should I store them just in cool, dry place or to be 100% safe it is better to put them to e.g. LiPo safe bag?
2. I have Torque Tuned 540 engine. If I put e.g. 3300 battery for how long it will last? 15? 30 minutes?
3. Is it better to have one battery around 5000 battery or two around 3000?
4. I bought cheap 1$ ball bearings with rubber seals to replace standard plastic bushing. I assume that grease inside is not the greatest. Is it worth to remove factory grease and put some light one? I have quite a lot experience from cycling but weight and usage of bike is different.
5. Racing Fighter has somehow sealed gerbox. Is it worth to remove both or at least one ball bearing seal to reduce drag?
