karlo888 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Thanks for the reminder, just checked all my 2s and looking good on storage mode 👍👍 just a few questions if you people don’t mind. 1) best to check weekly on lipos? 2) anyone know the correct name of the connectors on these 1s lipos used for msrx helicopter? trying to build a cable so I can check these on my battery checker (only voltage) thanks in advance.

markymarky Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Fitted the carbon fibre bits and stainless fixings to the rear of the Baja build. Rear end just about there now. Will be getting BRP wheels and tyres all round, will probably buy the rear adapters/extenders and rear wheel/tyres to complete the back end and then move onto the front. Already started to build up the front and looking at what upgrades i am going to do to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condition and voltages. I have 20 or so Lipo’s, stored in BatSafes. Just checked the voltages and all seems ok, but two appeared to drop out of balance. Nothing major but one cell was 0.2v out. Just trying to rectify with a charge/discharge to balance out. Hopefully be ok as theyre quite expensive 4S Lipo’s 0.2v variation is nowt to worry about but good point regarding checking lipo`s i have a lot in metal ammo cans but will be getting rid of plenty of them due to giving up flying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Was not so happy with the wheel hex set up on the NT4, then remembered i had some 12mm brass hex extensions so decided to fit them, the wheels are better supported now and as a bonus a little wider on the stance of the truck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Change of plan for one of my trx4s. The injora lcg chassis is going on hold for now. A load of bump steer, would probably need changing to 4 link front end. Setup back as stock chassis with injora 324mm stainless links to suit the cherokee body. Still setting the body height, position, bumpers etc. Also got black wheels and some new boots. I rate the fastrax rocko tyres highly. Great for crawling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markymarky Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Finished the front end up and built the wheels and tyres just so it can stand on it's own feet as it were. Sorted out the rest of the bits I need and chucked what was left away along with the box, bloody box takes up so much room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lilredmachine Posted March 24 Popular Post Share Posted March 24 Going racing with a proper E-buggy again after a brief love affair with an Agama a319 nitro that ended in a dead Reds Scuderia race motor after a random conrod failure. I can't be arsed to buy another 400 quid race engine. Have ordered a Tekno EB48 2.1 and a Hobbywing ESC/Taurus motor to go in it. The buggy is on back order so I have dragged my old Ansmann X8E out of the lock up and gone through it like a ton of bricks so I have a test bed for the electronics whilst I'm sorting the new chassis. Jobs today have been: Bloody good clean/as much rust removal as possible All bearings lubed Diffs pulled, checked for condition, drained, cleaned and refilled with fresh oil set 10/7/5 respectively. Shocks stripped, seals greased and refilled. Radio box built up with my race radio, a trick steering servo out of the Agama and topped with a transponder. Found/fitted a mixed set of hexes/nuts cos I robbed the originals off it for something else over the years. New velcro straps. Royal mail tried to deliver the new power system for it Sat but both me and the missus were at work so will pick up tomorrow. Can't wait to get it out on the track again. Pics as it stands. It was/is very rusty. 😁😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European version of the car died a long time ago so was good to stumble across a treasure trove of parts. 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Chopped off the traxxas battery connector on my Trx4 F150 Should of probably listened to @Lone-wolfand made an adapter before I tested it. Just a quick video works fine, really nice looking truck 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markymarky Posted March 28 Popular Post Share Posted March 28 Front end mostly done, mix of Taylor RC front bulkhead and Bonehead RC top plate and front hinge pin holders. Will change the shock tower as well but not sure if I will go alloy or carbon fibre for that, will more than likely be alloy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 nothing major, decided to get the Fury 2.0 out i was thinking i would sell this on but its a nice truck so keeping it, i remounted the 1080 esc as it kept lifting (poor quality sticky pads) and did tethered body clips, hard to see in pics. I have lost a wiper so might look for new ones or just delete the one on it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steephill Posted March 29 Popular Post Share Posted March 29 Done a few bits to my Trx4 cherokee hard body build. Fitted roof rack, rock sliders, door handles, mirrors, bonnet vents and longer rear shaft for the wheel base increase . Trying to make my mind up about which wheels and tyres to use. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steephill Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Let the missus have a go.... Didn't fancy taking out one of the hard body trucks. So I put a1080 esc in the injora scx10 ii copy. It's got an Axial Jeep cherokee lexan body. But completely stock, got it cheap off ebay a good few years ago. It's a really light rig and reasonably durable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
