so why is the servo motor on the right in your epoch???? mine is a mirror image of yours!

10 bugs left the mainland today. By the end of the week they'll be in the epoch143 shop!

As for the pic. He's taken the pic from the top down dumarse! Look at the front suspension posts!

Good stuff dave. Seriously dude, get a bug or goto the epoch section of R7R and check out the post's there. There's enough info there to make your own already.

These things hauls ass with a turbo and lipo! Yeah!

Thanks ph2t.

I found arfin's nice little diagram at epoch1-43.com

Then at Ripper7 I found his diagram to hook up LBRC's turbo. Make a handy cross reference as to where to hook the signal wires.

Thanks arfin, that's all the tutorial I need.

Here's the thread where luckyyy presents us with a diagram of microsash's turbo.

I'm almost positive he's the same one that gave me the link to the diagram that helped me do my first FET mod. Handy guy to have around.

Now it sucks, because I hate to spend $1.25 on the bus, just to get $.50 worth of resistors.

Anybody know the markings on one of them 10k surface mount resistors? Maybe I can rob a couple from bit boards.

"1002" = 100 and two more zeros.
Even as low as 4.7K should work.

Besides the RS vette I keep hearing you guys talk about, are there other competitive brands against Epochs. I went searching around and I found some "Import Tuners" with nice Subie bodies and BMW coupe bodies, a shit load, but I got a funny feeling there just not worth it. If there's any videos of action on these things could you pimps let me know. Be gladly appreciated.

Thanks

Trust me, go for the epoch i mean, they are only $49.99 for an RTR now! Well worth it, i've yet to see a bad review on them.

I think I might have to get one of these! If I recall, for 40$, you get everything but the TX and charger. I just ordered a good AM 27mhz TX, so that looks like the way to go.
Also, the Mini-Z boats Aquaspeed motor makes these things fly.

I wonder if I can get one without the PCB. I'd rather use an iWaver PCB, anyway; FETmods are cheap.

Go to www.epoch1-43.com to get them, you are right $39.99 will get you a new Chassis. Also, if you do an iwaver conversion, i will probably buy the epoch pcb from you.

They also have the aquaspeed motor in stock.

Nice, i wanted another one, $9.99 is good, i'll add on a few more things and even out the shipping. The motor imo was a nice upgrade, especially with turbo.

How's the speed of that motor in the first 5 feet?
