Pistonhead Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just finished the soldering on the ET410 a job i really hate, but getting better at now as it look under an hour, got creative when thinking of a soldering jig - bit of heat shrink round the connectors help the pliers not become a heat sink.

Pistonhead Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Thought i’d post this in the proper thread lol Gave the ET410 it’s maiden run round a carpark, even on a flat ashpalt it’s stupid, huge grin inducing fun for a little truck Happily pops the front wheels up on launch, and there’s so much steering on throttle and just as nimble off throttle, the way it changes direction took a bit of getting used to, but quite quickly i was able to do tight 180 turns round a coffee cup at stupid speeds. Will try and get a video tomorrow If you get the chance to drive one of these, do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Finished off the brushless conversion on the spare Hyper 7 chassis. Printed a housing for the ESC with incorporated cable tie channel. Printed a radio box to sit on the centre diff housing with screws running through the brace into the supports. Lastly, printed off a battery box setup. In order to reduce the amount of print time a bit, the tray itself is made up of 2 end pieces which screw onto some 20mm angle ally. This in turn is bolted to the printed plate that fixes to the chassis. All the nuts are captive nuts sitting in the plastic with bolts through. I spaced the tray off the base to allow a battery strap under the tray. Then I lined it with some thin foam sheet. Tray is 50mm wide so would take a large pack ...or up to 5S on edge. Quite pleased with the end result. Motor mount was from Dazp The base tray has 2 'lumps' on it to fit into the holes left for the nitro motor mount screws and the flywheel. This blocks them up nicely, helps hte base locate, and stops muck getting in under the tray. No extra holes are drilled in the chassis as each part uses existing part mounting holes to secure it. Quite pleased with how the cable runs etc. all sit 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamiyafanboy Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 Spent literally the whole evening trying to fix the gimbal on my Phantom 2 , its a zemuse h3-2d. Goes mental then stops working found some vids on the youtube but looks like its buggered, so my excellent buy is now looking rather un-excellent! ?

tolk83 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Snuck out early for a quick run with the yeti, despite knowing the steering arms were too worn.Only lasted 2 mins before it threw the driveshaft. Derp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanveer Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Got fed up looking at my trx4 kit while waiting for the body to turn up, So i converted it to lwb and took it out for its maiden run today, no bodyshell fitted but still had a good laugh with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCpete Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Just finished a rebuild of my Hyper VSe after a huge accident. Got the 7075 chassis for it and was surprised to see the holes for the sideguards were not big enough nor were they countersunk like they should of been, so i drilled them out and countersunk them myself lol. All done now and she is back to looking her best.....New wing and CNC front shock tower should be here next week as well ?. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Had the ET410 out for another pack tonight in the carpark, silly fun once again ? Getting more used to being gentle with the throttle and brake now, and it’ll pretty much do whatever i want now, except reverse, did take that out, it cut in too quick for my liking lol.
