What did you do to your model today?

XB4C’25 - changed tires to schumacher azami on the rear and shard at the front. 
 

Kyosho mid optima 60th world spec - shims front and rear shock mounts, shocks now perpendicular from side view

 

Never raced, have not put any mileage on either, just enjoy building and tweaking 😎

 

Spec’ed out both and getting bored again.  Any suggestions of a buggy build kit that is extremely high quality and is not a tamiya? 😂

Way too nice for me to buy and throw around and smash up but I like to look at the pretty pictures. I hear these are really good quality 😃, there will be more makes but these are the ones I have come across in my rc research travels 🤓

 

Edit *Just noticed that you have XB4C’25 so you know about them* 👍are they as nice as they seem on the website?

The stars alligned and I actually finished work early whilst my Mrs and Daughter were out so got a few boring RC jobs done. 
 

Soldered up some charge leads.

 

Replaced the diff in my Mini Maxx because of this

Changed an A Arm and added diff outdrive braces to my X Maxx. Not tightened up in this pic hence why its at the back

Thanks! Deeper dive into the world of SWORKz

 

Partial to vintage buggies as the kyosho was my first build, but a few of the onroad cars I might give one a go. Looking for something that has differing features that would be fun to build. More 👨‍💻 required 

 

XB4C’25 was a very enjoyable build and like many have said, tolerance is extremely tight and quality is second to none (even with kyosho and the quality of their parts - XB4 is on another level). 


Don't watch the messy cables ha, but undecided on colour scheme at the moment

Installed the alloy diff holder in the Big Rock.  Should have been a quick job but I had issues with the top of the outer diff cover seating correctly.  I ended up having to file away some of the inside plastic to make it seat flush which was a bit of a pain.

Today was one of breakages. Took out the senton, 5T and 5b. Broke the senton bumpers and shell. Also smashed the hardcase battery. And left the dust cover in the field. Steering bell went on the baja and lost some hinge pin clips. Then the losi cut out after 10 mins and couldn’t seem to get it going again.

 

All washed and dried now and will give it all a good going over tomorrow to see what else needs doing!

Deffo getting one of these bad boys for summer 😃. Do you just whack your lipo on it and set for max discharge? or use the 1c rule like when charging?.

Max discharge is what I done but apparently it will automatically change to whatever it needs to on that setting so it dont "over do it"  according to a few YouTube videos I watched about it. 4 lipos down and so far so good

What rate does this discharge at? Trying to work out if its faster than my new charger which I think is 40w per channel?

These are up to 200W and you can pick how many amps it pulls depending on the size/capacity of the battery.

As above.

 

trying to get the app to work so I can see real time info but it dont wanna play ball. Just checked all my lipos and safe to say they all good. Must say it's very loud. Sounds like a plane about to take off 😂

Where did you buy it from? HobbyRC?

Fitted a new pinion, but it seems to be causing pretty big vibrations even at low speed. I assume this one may be defective?

 

Edit - Called Modelsport to ask if this was a problem and they sent a new one immediately. Fantastic service 👍

 

 

The bore seems to be drilled off centre when viewed from the top
