But i made upo a light loom for the Hobao DC1, and taking Stormbringers advice swapped out the 3mm red led`s for 5mm reds, fitted 2s balance socket so i can power lights direct from lipo 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now do I go stock (£14) or Vitavon £110)? 🤔 In this tipe of static pieces you can use aluminum without risks, but Vitavon is really expensive and in your case, I recommend to stay stock.

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted September 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) So I explained to my Mrs Jade, that parts were still a bit hard to get cause of the situation so best to be careful. However, I made the mistake of also saying we have pretty much 2x Slash 4x4s at home so “WORST CASE SCENARIO” we could use some of tbose parts if she broke the Rustler.

Popular Post UKRobster Posted September 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2021 I'm sure there's been loads of posts about cleaning but, looking at the state these 2 were in I had to share 😝 Me & the boy went out for some bashing fun on Monday and it's taken me until this morning to clean up and get everything back together. Was the first proper bash with the Granite and the dust we created was immense. Kinda wish I hadn't gone there for it's first outing as it's never going to be as clean as it was before. As I has to strip it down to clean it properly I also went to town with the thread lock. Did the driveshaft into the hubs on all four corners. Also nearly lost a screw out of the steering arm while bashing, so thread locked those as well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Ran down yesterday's batteries, surprisingly quick how the 780kv can chew through 7200mAh packs! I wasn't timing it, but I'm pretty sure it was sub 15 minutes! 22 hours ago, Tug said: Charged up a pair of 7200 4S packs for the DBXL conversion, didn't manage to run it, will discharge them tomorrow. Temps were; motor 65C, ESC 50C and cells 50C. Definitely not gearing up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
