Obsession with 6s
Scrolling around in the RTR section's I see a lot of new guys attempting to or wanting to run 6s on wrong setups. The Spartan is bringing a lot of new guys into the FE world which is a great thing, but the BIG 6s label on the side of the box seems to be encouraging people to run 6s on mostly everything. There seems to be this RUSH or CHASE slowly becoming an obsession to hit 50mph or run 6s on everything. Running 6s on the wrong setups can cause damaged equipment and also hurt someone. Before running 6s I think some of our new comers to the Hobby should take a look at this chart which was posted by Properchopper a while ago. I think this is a AWESOME chart and I have it saved to every computer in my house. It's good starting point and quick guideline to help you have a good safe & reliable setup. I just think guys should step back from the draw of 6s and take some time to learn what they are doing first. I would hate to see someone blow there setup and waste a lot of money and possible leave the hobby because of it. Just my thoughts!

But it's easier than learning to drive better or testing setups or learning how to do some prop work or learning.........
LOL see a pattern?If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

I thought I did post this in that section. I must have been half asleep this morning lol... maybe a mod can move this to that section for me. I don't want to make duplicate threads. I
BL55 I do agree that people think the only way to hit 50mph is with more more voltage and not testing props or even messing hardware and cg adjustments.Comment

Everybody that buys my Micro boats is obsessed with wanting to run them on 4S. All they do is create an uncontrollable boat and burn everything up. I try to warn 'em but whatcha gonna do?
