bertberr Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Enjoyed a couple of hours up on the moor with my wife, my old man and my little boy & girl. Dad with his Torment, my daughter with her Slash, my lad with his Torment, and me with my mental Ruckus - couldn't keep the front end down, even with battery all the way forward and 21t pinny... , also flew the 200QX's, great fun and time with the family too...

Wabom1981 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) The outback got its first true taste of the rough stuff today with a visit to cheddar gorge, performed well but the case of wobbly body caused a few roll-overs, time to thicken up the shock oils I think!!

Pistonhead Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Quick play with the EB48 in the carpark before work, large radio antennae right outside played havock radio - 30-50ft range max meant autocross style fun - short full throttle and hard brake turns - so much fun with a chassis as agile as this. Got one slow-mo launch on some fine pea gravel and pebbledashed my face IMG_3806.MOV Edited July 2, 2017 by Pistonhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 At the weekend I upped the pinny size on the BLBB and Carnage, then took them, the Aggroshot and Hooligan to the beach for some speed runs. The ultra cheapy BSD Racing Prime Baja has never really disappointed me and on this occasion it failed again to disappoint. Ok, I know I've pumped it up a bit with a brushless combo and 3s LiPo but I didn't expect 32mph out of it! Proper happy. Next to have my Galaxy S4 strapped in was the 'Shot, am happy to report that after hitting 35 mph it didn't self combust as some believe Tamiyas will. Bigger boots should land at Chez Chewy this week................... I think Carnage hit 35 but it's unconfirmed. The Hooligan didn't run due to a dry joint on one of the motor wires.

bombercountynick Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Changed some diff oils in the SCT, Received an astro setup over the weekend so going to give it a try on mine. Mistakenly went for 5k centre when I built it now running 7K f - 10K c - 3K r Have to wait until next weekend to see how it compares though Need to pick up a 16t pinion too as the temps were well within the safe zone with the 15t in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombercountynick Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Dug the Mugen out of the loft going to bring it out of retirement for some 8th nitro action. Stripped it down to renew diff oils, it's in such good condition for a 10+ year old buggy. No signs of wear on anything, I don't want to ruin it but it seems a waste not to put some use on it!! I've even dug some retro yellow spoked wheels out with proline holeshot's just for extra modern-retroness So it went from this....

bombercountynick Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Handballed this great thing out of the loft, changed a few of the shot panels for a few 'less shot' panels Took it to the woods for it's first run in a few months and think i've blown it up, In all a great success 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
