I'm probably going to give it a very light rub down as a few bits of dirt managed to get on it without me knowing and then spraying again.

capri-boy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Took the X1 CRT-e IRC conversion to the track, along with the Hyper MTe. Hong Nor held up excellent as always - by far my favourite RC at the moment though everything else was a nightmare: Newish Power HD servo case cracked Another Spektrum Rx failure - SRS4201 - swapped the above servo for a savox 1267, tested, fine, set end points and then nothing Hyper Mte blew it's centre gearbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Acted as pit crew for my mate on his first outing to a proper club to race his new F1. All went well with no breakages. We do need to find some foam tyres though. Anyone know of any F1 foam wheels/tyres with 12mm hex fittings to fit the HPI Formula Ten?

Popular Post chewbacca Posted September 17, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted September 17, 2016 Finished "The Project" aka Miper v4x4. For those of you watching in Black and White, Miper v4x4 is the one on the right. He's a Tamiya DF-02 chassis (thanks Noj) fitted with a Quicrun 60a/3800kv combo, Alturn low profile servo, 2 pairs of Wild Willy rear wheels and tyres and an HK-GT2R rx. Body is that of the Gravel Hound and was painted by our very own Sharkfat. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) busted out the airbrush paints, just gotta find the energy to spray the darn tank up some more, its been a year since i left it , mixed up some red/brown dirt/mud paint and hunted interwebs for some nice satin clear coat ( just could be halfed the purchase it though). Re-looked at the Vaterra Twin hammer shortcourse body mod and sighed like a little girl , its going to take a hella lot of work to flair out the rear end to fit the oversized hammer. grabbed some resin-hardener and glassfibre matting ( stupid mistake i wanted glass cloth and got course matting) to glass out the shortcourse body to shape i require The winter time stuff ^^, while its snowing and im stuck indoors and not on two-stroke pedro Edited September 17, 2016 by Tamiyacowboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Went to the park with the LST to Test the new diff cases and oils, handles much better and discovered that I can now drive it on 2 wheels which was fun until I noticed that it was at the cost of my tyres.

XV Pilot Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 After having a great time yesterday acting as pit crew for my mate and his F1 car, I thought I ought to make a start at building my own. The F104V2 Pro is quite a well-specced vehicle to begin with, but I thought it could do with a bit more carbon and alloy: A good bit of this ended up at the back of the car. The stock plastic motor mount was replaced with an alloy version, the stock plastic wing mount and damper mount were replaced with carbon versions, the stock plastic links and "football" were replaced with carbon reinforced mouldings and the stock plastic side spring holders were replaced with alloy thumb adjusters. The chassis comes with neat gunmetal coloured fluorine coated pivot balls in all locations except for the rear pitch damper mount. Even the carbon upgrade comes with a shiney silver coloured pivot ball. This looked out of place to my eye, so I replaced it with a gunmetal coloured fluorine coated one to match the rest. Up front I went with a low profile horizontally mounted servo to eliminate bump steer as on the TRF cars. The front suspension arms are the only parts that have not been swapped out for their carbon reinforced equivalents. I have read that, while the carbon ones are stiffer, the slight give in the stock plastic parts make them more likely to survive an impact. I did however swap out the ugly oversize downstop washers for some neat alloy ones. This is how it looks so far: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
