Fairly happy with Deans but tried a EC5 and failed when trying to insert the bullet into the casing and just broke it 😆 I did discover how well flux paste works but it still not sure I would tackle an EC5 again!?

EC5 are lovely to solder up, i put the brass barrel into a drilled block of wood, solder it then snap it into the plastic holder, way better than XT90`s that collapse as soon as they see a soldering iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably need to watch some videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got Big Rock out of the bag and realised I didn't have my Deans to EC5 connector with me. Fllllllllllllllllllllllip! No time to go back home and go out again before work. So today was a maiden voyage with my dad with some 25+ year old boats at a local pond that we resurrected. Spent ages making up a boating toolkit to take with everything that we could ever need to make/fix things on the boat. Got to the pond and setup the camping chairs ready for a relaxing morning and I had only left my transmitter at home!? Just not a good week for me RC wise 🤣 Luckily it was only a 15 minute round trip back home to grab it but annoying all the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what makes it better than a slash as you do or did own a couple but you don't seem to praise them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what makes it better than a slash as you do or did own a couple but you don't seem to praise them. Ive had 5/6 Slashs, and theyre great. In fact this Rustler started as a Slash 4x4. I dont think its anything against the Slash, its just in my opinion, Short Course trucks arent as good as a stadium truck for bashing. They have less ground clearance and the shell parachutes. The Rustler doesnt have these issues. I just seem to use my Slash 4x4 on Road, as a sort of over powered car park hooner Now this Rustler has had a lot spent on it (it was originally built by @mydoddy69) but its my Mrs first RC car, its on 3S, running a Max 10 SCT Combo. She is FAR harsher on RCs than me and it doesnt seem to break. Honestly, its been through so much, if it broke to the point we had to bin it, and buy another, we wouldve had our monies worth Edited September 4, 2021 by Kpowell911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive gone stock for now As much as I like shiny things, I think plastic stock is usually better and if this is the first time you have broken it then it isn't a massive weakness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
