Re: Line change and coil battery consumption.

Ah, lovely! Several points brought into play. Now let us see what new issues entered. Elevation change... If I understood you correctly the problem isn't going up, which draw energy, but going down. Which possibly could need more brakes than there is. It's a bit hard to follow that line. A real car ...

Re: Line change and coil battery consumption.

Many thanks for those points, about me, Joel. You point out the two probably most important things about my ramblings. One, I don't think and say, I think, do, know and say. If I am unsure, then I say so. If I am not, then assume I know. Alpha, I have a very (Very!) direct style of writing. If somet...

Re: Line change and coil battery consumption.

Thank you. Ok, let me get some things straight at once. I am truly happy that Wes has come out with MAGracing. We do however, him and me, come from different angles. Wes, if I've understood it right, from R/C and me from model slotcar racing. And we have a slightly different agenda. And here it is W...

Re: Line change and coil battery consumption.

If I'm hearing that correctly there's no interest in development for MAGracing, correct? Fine with me, even if I have a hard time believing that MAGracing is meant to work the way it is today. Where you can corner faster by steering into and through a corner, than if you just follow the line. 'Cause...

Line change and coil battery consumption.

To start of with, yes I know the factual and principle. And if I got some detail wrong, just say so. The coil drive the steering and the steering follow the wire, as best as it can. Would the idea below be a way to minimize power drain from the coil, simplify line change and remove the R/C element i...

Re: Where to buy battery and charger

What does the mAh say on the triple A's? And what on that camera/cellphone/whatnot? If eight grams are 800mAh and fourteen are 1600mAh... But if one triple A is enough for one hour worth of driving it's a moot point.. And that's actually a point I wasn't able to pan out of the descriptions, how many...

Re: Classes

While running my various slot race clubs I found one way to make just this, running classes. People must be into it but this way could most probably work. And much more possible to actually achieve it with MAGracing! Run out as a team race. Preferably long distance to. Each team has one car and driv...

Re: Where to buy battery and charger

Ah sorry, it's in no way negative critique. And has nothing with polarity or any some such that LAsp is on about. I'm not illiterate LAsp. I have both read and understood. And have no problem what so ever with the present format. (There was a couple of peculiarities I stumbled upon, nothing to it. A...

another battery talk

I would suggest another source for batteries.
Get on places as Craigslist and get some cellphone batteries.
They are flat, thus lower gravity, and are fairly simple to get loaded with basically any old cellphone charger.

Other benefits are the well above 1000mAh and not possible to polarity switch.
