Popular Post MrCake Posted June 8 Popular Post Share Posted June 8 Took the Kagama out to the woods. No lost wheel nuts or breakages which is good. Only negative was not realising that I drove through the stinkiest random puddle in what was a dry woodland. I think I can still smell it! 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James.S Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Was just running it on 4s. I don't have any 6s batteries yet. I'm almost scared to get one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markymarky Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Nothing exciting, just put the other RPM rear arm(s) onto my Baja, note to self for future reference, do this before completely building it, it's not difficult to do but have to take quite a few bits apart to do something relatively simple 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrCake Posted June 9 Popular Post Share Posted June 9 Another early session since it looks like the weather is going rubbish again after today. Might upgrade the stock ESC since this one gets pretty toasty and there is limited programming. Big Rock is probably in my top 3 RCs that I own. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Yeah 3s which has generally been ok but have had early lipo cut quite a few times although it was fine today. Will probably stick in a 10BL120 G2 which has been good in my Slash and keeps cool on 3s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks brilliant from my screen mate I must agree though, a Killer Bodies Impreza wouldve been a better choice for a 4WD Rally Car, as opposed to a FWD Civic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What upgrades have you done on yours? I had driven shafts pop on one side (to do with slipper clutch??) but replaced them with stock parts as all the chatter about upgrades wasn't very positive. Got any advice/tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCake Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Mine has been pretty much bulletproof. The only thing I changed was putting on the Typhon 6s shocks to add some beef and adjustability. Ha ha oh, just remembered it also has Granite wheels which I would say improves handling. Shocks and wheels were from Jennys to keep costs down a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
