.AJ. Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I won’t be jumping it anytime soon, but I reckon it will still be tougher than the Yeti 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way a good excuse for shiny stuff, I have a cheap alloy diff case but it really isn't very well made so I took it back out, can't remember what brand it is. Might opt for the VP one if it isn't too extortionate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Spanked the new rear diff in Budget-Maxx, held up fine, job done and ready for summer, should it ever choose to arrive! Temps on motor were 60C, ESC around 45, cells hit 50! All good fun though! Small addendum, the cells were showing 2% when I put them on the charger, but she was still popping wheelies on the walk back to the house. GOTTA LOVE LITHIUM!

ghazghul Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Went to LHS and they were out of the Tamiya paint I need a fraction of a tin to finish WPL top coat. They'll restock in the next week or so... which is a pain. They charge standard rate (£5.99) and it's very local so will wait and support them. Instead I keyed the rear bed, roll bar, side steps and front bumper and painted them with Lidl black under body protection paint. I really like the finish. I might have to redo the chassis rails with it as I didn't prime or key them and the matt black is flaking in a few places. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Gave the Budget-Maxx a run, threw a CVD, had spares in the box, fixed in five minutes. RCBest ain't the best, but they've served me well over the years. I tend to only use them up front with genuine Traxxas CVDs at the rear where the main load is.

Bombers new Incision lockers arrived, along with some Vanquish trailing arms and I fixed the rear driveshaft too.
