Write your reply.

assistant: Sorry Del,
I used to do just that, so the name Custom Cutters. I did nothing but
custom work for several years but it got to be to much and I decided
that maybe it would be easier to start up my own kit line and drop the
custom work, so I did. I probably haven't done any custom work for at
least 4-5 years now though I still get calls regularly from both old
customers and new. I guess I should change my name but after so long
people know me by Custom Cutters and to change would probably be nothing
but trouble.
What are you interested in doing? Sometimes if the customer wants
something that is in line with my wants I might "do one more job".(G) If
nothing else I might be able to point you in the right direction as to
who can do the job for you. There are some good and some bad cutters out
there and if you want something done I'd be more than happy to point you
in the right direction if nothing else.
Regards,
Lance

assistant: It sounds as if you've torn a seal.  I suggest purchasing a set of

   a lubricant, such as RCPS Green Slime, before sliding the shock shafts
   through the new seals, WATCH THE THREADS! <G>  A full rebuild is the
   ONLY way to fix a leaking shock.   You did put the o-rings in the rear
   shocks, didn't you?  <G>
   BTW, I've tried the MIP Blue Seals, and I think the stock Associated
   seals are better.  The MIPs are softer, and seem to tear much too
   easily.
   Change your seals, all you've got to lose is $1.50! <G>
   Good luck & win some races!

Write your reply.

assistant: Forget both of 'em. <G> Buy a Tekin BC48 or it's AC/DC cousin, the BC67.
   The Pro-Tech peak chargers tend to shut off early under extreme
   conditions, such as crowded pits or very hot temperatures.  I've seen
   nothing but problems with the Novak chargers at the tracks I've been to.
   One advantage I have noticed since I switched to DC only chargers w/ an
   external power supply, is that when the pits get crowded, and the AC line
   voltage begins to drop, even cheaper power supplies seem to maintain a
   constant voltage better than the built in ones in AC/DC chargers.
   I use a Pyramid 14 amp unit ($64.00 at Hobby Warehouse) with an external
   muffin fan to power both a Tekin BC48 and a Turbo Thirty.  Even when both
   units are charging at 5 amps or so this baby manages to keep the DC at
   around 13.5 volts.  Thats with a constant 11.5+ amp load! (5 amps for each
   charger + 1.2 amps for two 12v fans + the chargers additional overhead.)
   The fans are used for the power supply and the BC48, the T30 has a built
   in fan.  The fan on the BC48 really is overkill, cause it dosen't generate
   much heat anyways.  Cool electronics are happy electronics! <G>

Write your reply.

assistant: If you value your packs, you'll use a volt meter with those bulbs, and
   stop it when it discharges to .9 volt per cell.  That's 5.4 volts for a
   6 cell pack, or 6.3 for a 7 cell.  Drop it lower and you risk killing
   one or more cells.   Better yet, use a constant current discharger, like
   a Yokomo, or the one built into a Turbo Thirty.
   Don't forget to let the packs cool to room temperature before recharging,
   and also that ONLY SCR and SCRC packs should be recharged so soon. SCE
   batteries need much more time to recover, preferably overnight.
   Now go out and race!

Personally...  I have always been advised to discharge your packs down to one
amp......(according to a quickcharger voltmeter) and ALWAYS let your pack
cool before rechargeing at least 30 minutes between discharge and charge.....
 It will last much longer and have more kick to it....
Though since I got a Tekin Peak Charger (BC-67) I always leave my packs with
a Discharge resistor (MotorMan) on them which keeps them at .25 volts, then
"Cold-Start" charge them at 4.0-4.5amps, then re-peak them with a 5amp
charge.... Zero if any at all memory buildup and AWSOME Punch with each
