NOFX Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 I was so excited I forgot how to spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Its arrived.it slides like a full scale one.It looks ace. The Ariel tube was missing when I got it.But that don't matter,I've got a 29 month old son who'd pull it out any way. I gave it a quick run on a herringbone brick driveway. It handled well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Great stuff now keep us posted on how well it performs and any vids would be great ..Did you go for the brushed or brushless?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Hi. Its the brushed one.I took it up the park today & broke a front C hub:/ .I glued it & I'm waiting for the to set.I can't figure out how to post pics & video via photo bucket .I'll have to set up an account somewhere else .I do want to show it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 First proper outing and it breaks now that does not sound promising .. There's a tutorial here for posting pics you will need an account thou with whatever site you go with http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/182152-how-to-post-pics-on-the-forum/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 I took it up the ramp in the garden a few times, didn't break it . I also got grip roll for the first time.I was shocked ,the tyres are really stiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Just took it down the park to run on some flat loose gravel.The lipo got rather warm :/ .it's a 2200mah 25c 3s. I weren't running it on grass,just sliding it on gravel.I did have a full speed role & not break it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Pulled the plug on mine.. After you breaking on what was its first run and reading there a redcat well rebadged or something .. Watch a few vids of the redcat on the tube on thought better of it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Its not too bad .I'll order some c hubs from ms & boil them I've gotta order some higher c & may lipos from hobbyking.I'll look up what amp ESC & kV motor's in the brushless one & get the same sort from HK when I'm not as broke. It is odd having an rc that gets stuck so easily (centre diff & all that) my brushless summit rarely gets stuck anywhere Edited April 27, 2014 by NOFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I took it for a rip round the garden (after cutting the grass to about 1 inches last night) & the lipo's puffed.I'm a bit peeved to tell you the truth :/ .Its had 4 charges! I'll be sending it back to ms when I've made sure it won't set fire to the parcel force van. I'll have to check. On the plus side , the misses says I can order Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'll be getting a replacement lipo from ms in the post from ms in the next couple of days. The suppliers supplied the wrong lipo with the viper.Glad it didn't go poof in the buggy .Hopefully it'll last more than 15 minutes per charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Yeah there was one. The flies demolished its corpse.& the maggots had a feast.It was so gross! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 I've been told by ms that I should have got a 2s lipo with the viper,rather than a 3s,its too slow on 2s.Does this mean it'll be even slower with the replacement lipo? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 (edited) Bugger .Itll be going back in time. :/ .What if I stick a 5000mah 3s in it.Do you reckon the lipo'd puff then? I think the last one puffed cause it was only 2200mah. Edited May 4, 2014 by NOFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Do you think I could put the 2200 kV & mmm ESC out of my summit in it & run a 5000 mah 4s lipo? The battery bay should take the lipo. By dad's got a pillar drill if I need to drill the pinion to fit . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I reckon the little thing would just self destruct with that much power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
