I doubt it's the over sized 20-something tooth pinion (14T stock), must be the 5G towers stealing my jigawatts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ps @Hell horn.I made it fit, it sits inside the side guards instead of sitting outside it...but I prefer that as it seems like it's easier to come across side guards than it is finding Losi E shells. Other than that some careful cable management was all that was required. I had issues with 5g at a flying site, dont fly there no more and now have a 1hour each way trip to a site i can fly from so yes 5g does affect 2.4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert_w164 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I did mesh it, but used scrim tape and evostick as it was closer to me than the aluminium mesh 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOFX Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Finally got little uns xo1 back together. But the controls were ( for some odd reason) reversed. I had to Google how to sort it out 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert_w164 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 How did it cope with lighting up the road? That's so cool dude! I've got some spare lipos since buying more RC cars and am toying with the idea of headlights 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted July 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2021 Not so much the model but the controllers, i like to film the crawlers in action but it can be a royal pain trying to get the right video, getting the good perspective on the car, found i can add a selfie stick in the mix so camera (Akaso V50X) is right down at ground level. The Akaso has great electronic image stabilisation so looking forward to trying this out 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert_w164 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Sorted out a bent adjustment thingy...big 8 rammed into small 8 last night 😔 Mole grips saved the day, also added some aluminium hexes and sorted out the dodgy steering / camber... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it have an auto leveling gibal seems like thats the only missing key to perfect footage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shergar Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Fitted a new spur and far better meshed pinion (87/14 all a good learning experience!) both attached to the (far too powerful really) Holmes 550 12t crawlmaster, and all cleaned, greased, and plonked back in the Scout. It didn’t stay like that long…. FullSizeRender.mov Who needs a Traxxas eh 😉 it’s even on a Nimh still 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
