    Kyosho ae68

    Hi. After finishing the resto on my pure ten alpha gp I decided to buy a ep version off of ebay. It doesn't have the motor mount and I'm struggling to find one. The part number is AE68. I know the zaboon used the same mount but wondered if anyone knows of any other Kyoshos that used the same mount? Thinking It might broaden my search possibilitys if other models used it. Cheers

    99% done. These are the original decals that came with the car! I never fitted them 20 years ago.

    Dug the body out today and I'm surprised by how good it still looks! Needs some paint touching up as the exhaust turned it back to a liquid!

    Wow 4 years have passed and it's still not done! Got back on it today!
  5. Yes marc83 3s in a 2wd slash is wild. i wanted a 4000mah but accidentally ordered a 2200mah. was mad at myself until i charged it up and stuck it in the truck! instant wheelies on tarmac
  6. I have a hobbywing ez run(can't remember what size motor)set up in my slash and have just stepped up to 3s lipo. It was fast on 2s but on 3s its mental, the only problem is it's now finding all the weak parts of the truck. If you go 4s let us know how it goes.
  7. Nice one, i thought as the battery voltage is higher the cutoff would be too. suns out so better get her charged and in a car!
  8. cheers for that James. i have a separate low voltage alarm which is more accurate the the esc. Do you set all lipos to 3.4v per cell? as i think that's what i was told to set my 2s lipo to.
  9. Afternoon all, i have decided to step up from 2s to 3s lipo but im not sure what amps to charge it at and what should i set my low voltage cut off at? ive looked around the net but see many different opinions im a bit lost. the spec is 2200mAh 3S cell 11.1v 35C Chers guys.
  10. Dusty motors(available on modelsport) make chassis covers. They do them to fit the traxxas slash and like you say the fiesta chassis looks very similar to a SCT chassis. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/dusty-motors-traxxas-slash-2wd-protection-dust-cover-black/rc-car-products/422698
  11. When I went brushless with my slash it snapped the pin in the end of that shaft so I would replace them for new before you go brushless!
  12. I started my boy with a ripmax coyote when he was 5. He got on great with it and has now moved on to a traxxas bandit.
  13. I run a traxxas Nimh in my boys car and as has been said above I go for full charge then let it rest and then top it up before you go out. I thought I had got a duff one because it wasn't lasting very long and loosing punch real quick, but charging it like this has really sorted it out.
  14. This is the one I run. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-clear-body/rc-car-products/38270
  15. Here's mine and I've just had a look on model sport and it turns out it's not a flotec!(shows what I know!) You can see the vent I cut out in the second pic and there's two more you could cut out!
