notfast Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) yes they are traxxas torque 30 series wheels with 2.8 proline badlands. i think all you need to change is the hex to one with a flat face . here is another pic, its probably a bit over kill but i am loving the ground clearance.

Damo666 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 That shell really looks the business. The colours really look the part. Here's mine; Not anywhere near as nice as yours, but I think it looks much better than the stock Red shell. I'm very happy with this truck.<br />bloody pics wont load<br /> <br /> <img src="http://i1234.photobucket.com/albums/ff401/notfastwes/28wheels.jpg" /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Sent from my E10i using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfast Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Damo, i wish that truck was mine, sorry if that was misleading, that is just a few of the pics i picked up while trawling the net with regards to this car. At the mo my shell is the stock red one you mentioned but hopefully not for long. i notice an rpm front and a tbr rear bumper. how is the front? loving my tbr front bumper, life saver a the skate park. i have tbr rear but think i will need the wheelie bar when the B/L arrives.

Damo666 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I love the RPM bumper and use them on 3 of my cars. I think the Tbr front bumper is a little unsightly, but if I ever break my Blue Rpm i'll give one a go I reckon. You'll love the Tbr wheelie bar as it doesn't rattle and make harsh noises when you're doing a wheelie. It made a pleasant change as the one that was on my Rusty sounded terrible with its plastic wheels. Tbr really is the best in terms of protection imo, and they even threw a pile of decals in with my last order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Ravage Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 This brings back memories, I got a blue one last year and removed the motor and esc the day it arrived, replaced it with a Carson 12t brushless combo and kept the truck standard. I used to show people how strong this truck was, by driving it full speed into various stationary objects and watching it bounce off and keep going. This truck has replaced my Hyper 7 as indestructible. I even went as far as to drive it off the top of a quarry at full speed. It fell 147ft to the quarry floor smashing the body, both front shocks and the lipo fell out, yet it drove off dragging the lipo behind it.

Jefferson Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Can't understand the problems RC Walshy is having keeping the car in a straight line. I run ezrun 9t with lipo, which give more punch than NIMH and I have no problems at all keeping mine on a straight line, no problems at all on any surface, no problems with not being able to control wheelies when I throttle it either. Have you checked everything over? Nothing broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfast Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 i would double check everything too. you also have the option of swapping the rear arms over to give a longer wheelbase which would make it more stable. and also putting a thinner oil in the diff would help stop spinning out , loosen off the slipper too and then choice of tyres would make a difference. I love being able to run the leccy car right outside my house on the dirt track without upsetting the neighbours, nitro is just not an option for me.

dtokez Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 what gearing are you guys running? mine is stock for the brushed version. i think it could do with some more top speed now its got a 7.5t ezrun combo in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtokez Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 do you know if the diff will take oil? thinking mine could do with being a bit tighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhavana Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 do you know if the diff will take oil? thinking mine could do with being a bit tighter You can use oil, but best to upgrade diff shaft seals from stock x-rings to o-rings. 104726 - SILICONE O-RING 5X9X2MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfast Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I haven't use oil in my diff yet. I have used ae black grease and have had none leaking out the diff cups as of yet. I think the grease is ok for bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you want to try and keep both wheels spinning at the same rate, which you won't do with a lighter oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
