Sorry, but no. I bought them both to use. You should join the Facebook SBR group!!! That's where I got mine from dude that prints them.

If you don't want to join Facebook group I can try and get contact info.

Does anyone know or could help me measure the length (eye to eye) of the rear shocks please?
Would be really grateful if anyone can help out. I'm planning to use dual shocks, but my SBR hasn't arrived yet, and just wondering if I could use some shocks I have in my spares box.

Thanks in advance

There's already 4 holes in the back where it looks like you could run two shocks.

Hi there. Not about shocks but...this is my first time venturing into the big scale electric truck & I'm using Reaction 5000mAh 50C 3S 11.1v LiPo batteries. I also have the Passport Ultra 100W charger. The problem is I didn't read the fineprint: that to charge this high voltage batteries the charger needs to have it's firmware updated. IMO Horizon's link to the update on their website is not very user friendly. I spent hours trying to update the charger to no avail. Has anybody encountered a similar problem? Is there any other charger that does not need to be updated that's compatible to charge the Reaction batteries?

Have you tried to charge them? I looked those batteries up. I do see that they can be charged at higher rate. But also charge at normal rate

your charger will charge your batteries yours are not the High Voltage.
3s 11.1 is not a high voltage battery. https://www.horizonhobby.com/reactio...ec5-dynb3811ec

3s 11.4 is a high voltage battery https://www.horizonhobby.com/reaction-hd-114v-5000mah-50c-3s-lipo-hardcase%3A-ec5-p-dynb3856ec

The charger wont charge with the battery settings. Are you saying that I have to enter a lower voltage for the charger to charge the battery?

The charger does not charge @ the 11.1v setting.

I don't think you need to charge that battery with a high voltage setting because the voltage you listed is a standard 3s lipo voltage. So you should be able to charge it in lipo mode by selecting the cell count and pack capacity

Are you getting an error message?

I’ve only seen that charger, never tried t use one. But looking up it looks to have setting for Lipo, li-fe, li-Ion. Any chance it’s in wrong setting?

What's the battery voltage? No way it should be 4.2, but I'm trying to think of why your charger might not charge it.

On my charger you can manually set voltage to 4.35 a cell.
