New injora 370 motor and gearbox arrived today. Here's a couple of size comparison picture's ...

Hi there, would you consider to ship it to Canada? I'm interesting. Thanks

Try the 4000Kv motor, looks like it will work according to this video, how long the drivetrain will last will depend on your trigger finger. You could reduce the throttle power if your transmitter has adjustable end points. The program card will help to control punch and brakes.

@Lone-wolf Thanks mate 👍

So the reason I’m opting to use this brushless set up is because I haven’t got an esc that will work with the Tamiya sport tuned brushed motor AND lipo. I’m not overly enamoured with the idea of purchasing a NiMh as it’s old tech and still incredibly expensive! I would rather buy lipo but the only speed controller I have that will work with lipo is my brushless ezrun 60a pictured. I really want to use the lunchbox but I just cannot afford to buy an esc that will work with brushed AND lipo. I’ve found the program card (pictured) for the ezrun, does this have on it the ability to tone down the power? Is it the timing and punch? I’ve also bought a 0.8 mod 18t 5mm shaft pinion gear for the brushless. I could also turn down the trim on my controller right?

That does look nice. How much are the 6ch rx?

really liked that

I’ve had a GT5 and a Radiolink, I’ve just got a Dumbo RC DDF350 and I would pick it over both of them, I paid about £50 off Aliexpress and turned up in about 5 days Up to 10 channels (rx dependant) I’ve got the 6 channel version, but the extra channel are now light controllers, has some really nice settings like cruise control, winch controller etc

Na, can’t be arsed to take them off the steelies 😂

Don't do the oven method, I would try soaking the rims in isopropylene and leaving it for a few days

Added a few more bits back on after yesterdays delivery, rear anti roll bar and bumper now in place. Changed fixings to stainless steel using some i had left from the Baja build but need to order a few more. Emptied and refilled rear shocks and ordered slightly stiffer springs. Shock tower and rear uprights next when i get paid in a few days.

I’m looking for a wheel type controller with model memory for under £100. I’ve narrowed it down to the Flysky gt5 and radio link rc6gs. I’m leaning toward the gt5 as it’s cheaper and I think it looks better! But I can get a radio link same delivery on Amazon. Is there any reason the radio link would be better? Also the Flysky receivers seem to be cheaper. or does anyone have an alternative suggestion?

Hi, decided to sell my “back up” charger as to be honest, ive never had the need to use it. i am scaling down the amount of rc and stuff i have, i cant see me using loads of it so someone else might as well have some use from it.. its in perfect working order apart from the damage to the windows of 2 of the displays as pictured, doesnt affect the operation and also doesnt affect the view on the screen. this is how i bought it with no other charge cables although i might be able to throw in some 4mm bullets and cable to make up some charge leads if the asking price is met. It is quite large and heavy so will cost approx £10 for a signed for delivery. looking for £40 posted and inc. PayPal fees. Thanks for looking, Gaz.

Yep, im going for the brown one too….. eventually.

A few tawny owls in the garden last night. One of them was sat right in front of the camera calling out.

I've got a couple of sets of traxxas 2.2 canyon tyres I want to try and remove from the plastic wheels. I want the tyres to use on aluminium beadlocks, so I'm not bothered about damaging the wheels. I'm aware of the various acetone methods. Soaking in and above the acetone in a container to break down the glue. I know you can put them in the oven. Never tried this method. I imagine this won't be good for the tyres, but don't know for sure. If anyone has had any success please let me know.

Where you not impressed with the Injora kraken claw tyres?

Fitted the Bronco body. The front bumper is on backorder so I've fitted the one in the picture for now.

I guess not room for a Li-Ion pack in there, i made an 18650 3S 1P pack for my flysky gt3 and only charge it about 3 times a year and unlike a lipo the Li-Ion battery likes to be left charged

🤯 Wow. Nice one mate.

holy crap just seen that price increase, was 26.99 last time i bought one for my normal dx5, im glad i have a spare or 2 kicking about and wouldnt recommend speccy at they prices 😞

No maths involved. Just a decimal point

Hi all Managed to pick the remaining cars up today for the collection and managed to get the Typhon working but needs oil/seals maybe for the shocks. What's the best option for these cars, are the standard shocks alright for bit of jumping and what oil would you use. Thanks

4000kv will be way too much for it due to the basic gear box and the handling of the lunchie, same gear box as hornet and grasshopper, mine does all kinds of mad stuff on a 25 turn brushed motor on 2s when it hits a few bumps like full on forward flips etc lmao 🙂 might be an idea to grab a spare pinion for it as well, i found them to be very weak around where the grub screw goes in. edit : this is the closest i can find to what dad and i use in our ones and it is a very tight fit with ours, assuming these ones are the same size i would go with that but check size first. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/gens-ace-lipo-car-hard-case-2s-74v-4000mah-60c-bashing-with-t-type-deans-1345629

Gives a better approach angle with the steering link behind the axle. Clever design, I like 👍
