What did you do to your model today?

[shdaxner]

Went to the track after work to see how the changes are working.

Think this short video of one of the Hormanns going round answers that lol.

He was clearing the double happily after he got used to the new layout but missed it with a flat phone battery.

More upgrades to the track to come this week with changes made to the start/finish straight.

Looks awesome!

From storage, two sets of 5S through the Savvy, she performed like a trooper.

Dropped the 2028 into the 5ive for a 10s test.

Me likey, more testing required

[flatout!]

Trashed a clutch again

[shdaxner]

Bashed the snot out of the PMT till I stripped a spur.....good times.

Tool a dremel to the TB-01 and removed lotsa of plastic bits to fit a hardcase LiPo

Put my slayer back together, adjusted the brakes so I now have front and rear brakes, and drive it round the garden for a tank :b temps never even reached 105 so that was pretty successful :b

What RPM sensor are you using? Magnetic or infer-red?

[Pistonhead]

Re thought my rc plans seeing as the 1:1 needs some loving and can't afford the 5ive right now.

So now my plans are to get the Revo rebuilt with longer chassis and ZR.32 power and set up for track use, and also to get the old Hyper running again, but on 6s only...

I still aim on getting a 5ive by my birthday in mid Sept, but building from a new Roller instead of an RTR as it works out better value.

Stuck a new bit of Meccano on the ghetto ESC mount in the 5ive and hoovered out grass and ting, after ordering a 54t blackbone spur.....

[Markswebpages]

Had a rethink about the ESC position in the Slayer. So this is the result.

Just need to decide in what shell to put on it and the I can get on and order the bits to make it usable again.

Surely the King Motor X2 would be an option?

It's the magnetic one

Made things very hot in the 5ive....bloody good fun however!

I have considered one in the past, but I can't get one as a roller new.

Plus I've been promising myself a 5ive since they were released.

Put a ESP head kit on the G320

Should make her rev better

I think you could do with a few more cable ties

Different colour ones too.

You can never have to many cable ties!

They are a sign of a true engineering mastermind [emoji2]

I thank you Sir for recognising my genius 

[Tug]

Made and fitted a possible solution to the snapping stub-axle problem on the HPI Super 5sc Flux. I'll do a full report on my thread once I've had a chance to test.

[Hyper-d]

Had my first proper go with the airbrush

Didn't turn out too bad considering I dropped it half way through spraying lol. Just needs clear coating.

[Oh How Original]

Nooo, don't clear coat it... Looks so nice in that matt finish!

 

I decided to do a couple of jobs I'd been putting off today.

Mesh modded the engine, I did initially buy an Outerwears crank case cover, but it doesn't seem to line up very good and the sticky back velcro just pulls straight off, load of crap!

So gone with the tried and tested mesh mod

Also, cut some 1mm lexan to make some side panel things to enclose the chassis, it'll hopefully aid in getting less sheep muck in the chassis and less grass as well.

 

 

 

Also, just moved my on/off switch to the top of the rx box, saves me cutting holes in the lexan, which would sort of defeat the point of putting them there in the first place.

I also run without a shell, so it's no problem for me.

 

 

And then started the rebuild, not got my new wheels and tyres or hubs yet, but figured as the weather is meant to be really nice on Thursday (the day we planned a bash) I might as well make as little work as possible for myself and I might have time to prepare Baja numero duece.

 

 

 

Fun day of tinkering

[chewbacca]

 

Scaled Aberystwyth Castle. 

 

 

Then bashed Borth with Boudicca and Carnage. 

 

Until my crappy soldering put an end to my fun with Carnage. 

[Oh How Original]

Landy is looking an absolute treat there Tim

Surprised that rope I tied on there is still on lol!
