Rat-Matt-RC Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Well, not done yet, but I "totally accidentally" bought some more upgrades for my Trx4m defender. Have gone for the high trail kit, a different bumper option and a few other bits. Hopefully won't take too long to arrive and I can get some pics posted and get out there again. Although I am aiming to go out tomorrow and Wednesday regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Forgot to take pics, but had the xmaxx, asuga and the slash 4x4 out today, only casualties were the fan on the esc on the asuga stopped working and on the slash managed to snap the wires going to the rear lights, had some spare white 5mm led so soldered them onto the existing loom so thats working again, for the asuga i am going to buy a rocket fan, but have another 30mm fan i can use if i need to till 1 arrives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Was over the weekend took the Kagama out for a good rip to see if the CVD heat shrink mod is holding up, well 15 packs in and quite a few bad landings its still holding up no CVD pin missing and heat shrink is still holding up so I am hoping that has fixed it 🤞. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rat-Matt-RC Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 Well my first batch of visual upgrades arrived, so been fitting them today. The new bumper I really like, although I've had to pause due to the battery holder being a little awkward. No point taking everything apart and revoking to do it again when the next parts arrive, so am going to hold off until the rest arrive. Here's a pic of what came today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Partydaz Posted February 10 Popular Post Share Posted February 10 (edited) Sometimes my cheapness even supprises me 😀, behold my bodge jobs!!!. For the Kagama made some new battery straps out the old team corally ones and fitted a spare wing mount then cable tied the wing down to stop it pulling itself off on every ****ing little flip or crash 🤣 Told myself not spending no money on hobbies this month, doing well so far good job I keep everything for a rainy day 🙂.

TommyC Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) Sometimes only a zip tie will do. These have been holding in the sway bar on the baja for about 8 months now. Edited February 10 by TommyC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partydaz Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Aye I was going try and sew it but couldn't find the sewing kit, it's not something I use often the stapler was right next to the kettle while making a brew after work and thought ohh that'll do it 😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 i spent early part of the morning working on the steering on the hyper go 14209 it binds on full lock, so been through all the pivot points making sure nothing over tightened, pretty much full strip and rebuild of the steering set up, still does it so must be a quirk of the, it has improved but still not perfect model, funny thing the steering on the other mjx, the 16208, now that has taken some real punishment and just keeps coming back for more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshireman Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Been doing a little work on tightening up the steering on my hpi rs4 recently, also added a little gyro. So, the weather brightened up (a bit ) today, still damp but thought I'd give it a quick go on a little car park.... seemed a lot better at first, both in a straight line and, drifting was so easy 🙂. Then all of a sudden the thing was all over the place, lost steering altogether so had to call it a (short) day ! Didn't have my specs with me at the time but got back home only to discover a small flat stone wedged under the steering linkage ☹️. Weather permitting, I'll have another go tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I either drop the RC from a height see if that loose anything up, if that fails hit the thing till something falls out!.

If you detach the servo arm does it still jam on full lock ?, if not the fault could be in the servo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Had a productive day. Broke four props, crashed into a few trees Knocked the GPS off twice, it is held on with a cable tie. Got a mount on the way. And the worst bit crashed in to a sharpish stone and scratched the lens on my dji 03 camera 🤦😭. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
