We’ll see, I’ve got millions of those pins though so I’ll see how it goes ✌️🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Reworked the mounts for the battery boxes in the X2, I use long nuts these days, they're designed for joining lengths of studding (all-thread) together. They're very neat and very strong. I use them as up-stands to hold the boxes firmly in place, but raised up off of the uneven chassis.

MrCake Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Broke one of them doing some jumps and it is now 3 wheel drive. Was hoping it was a drive pin had fallen out but no such luck. Diff still looks to be working so think it must just be a broken dog bone. Will take a proper look after I have cleaned it. Some long term dry weather would be nice!! I still seem to be on my winter washing technique rather than just brushing off dust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m yet to find anything like this near me which isn’t full of kids on bikes all the time. Most decent looking areas are private and well secured.

Popular Post BigGinge Posted July 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 5, 2021 (edited) I masked and painted my very 1st shell. Now I need to decide if I leave it like it is (minus the last bits of overspray film left on the outside of the windows) or if I should go ahead with the planned flat clear coat.

That's clean and you could have fooled me by telling me it's a stock factory painted shell. Well done dude. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redback Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 No surprise after upgrading the servo to 60kg the rod ends would get pulled. Was prepared with some heafty new rod ends, and the element gatekeeper steering rod and bar fit spot on 🙂 pretty beefy upgrade vs old ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Well, that didn’t go quite as expected. The finish is now definitely matt but it is also surprising white, which wasn’t part of the plan. Have I done something wrong when applying the flat clear coat (Fastrax Matt Effect Bodyshell Varnish) or have a got a duff can of paint? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve not used this product and have indeed only painted one rc shell before myself, but it looks like too much varnish in one hit from when I’ve sprayed wood in other scenarios. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
