tolk83 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Put the spare bushings on the yeti steering arms, ready for a quick bash tomorrow morning. Hoping the ones from rc mart arrive this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_J_Smith Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Went to my local skate park, a small area really not a park but still good fun. Managed to shear the end of my motor where it bolts together (no idea what this part is called!)Must have given a hard knock at some point then took a hard landing into concrete [emoji24]. Thought it had just knocked the motor out of mesh but then I saw this:Can’t think of any obvious fix and can’t see any spares, so will need a new motor unless any bright ideas? May try some kind of metal adhesive just to see if it works.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Got back from a stag weekend, put a lipo on charge and took the wee Tekno for a run, felt much better for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

53HRA Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Arrma has certainly won me over - Gave my nephews brushed Senton a blast over the weekend. Very impressed even on stock 8.4 Nimh it’s fun with about 25 mins run time. On 2s lipo it’s even better.... It has taken a good few knocks ( the street kerb and front end are best friends) and I have to say it’s definitely built well. For a 5 year old kid it’s perfect and he’s put at least 5-8 packs through it already and it’s not required any form of work. Literally plug in and play! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolk83 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Early morning bash with my lad. His 222 was literally flying, 20+mph off a 6-7ft grass bank, landed it really cleanly but lost drive. Snap!I've had these belts on back order with hobbyking for months now. He's gutted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main set was a RHD touring car and the head was from a Subaru Brat. Let me know if you decide to sell the left overs from the parts tree, could do with a new front end for my brat. looks bloody good though mate, if you going for the f&f look, are you doing the blue decals too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used superglue. It's still holding up. Jb weld would probably be better though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May also glue a hose clamp around it to strengthen it up, see if that helps.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks F&F look was an idea until I looked at the price of some of the Paul Wlaker heads, they're not cheap now lol Probably wouldn't of gone down the decal route, blue neons might be on the cards.

tomzac66 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Found some plastic grill in the pound shop, had an idea [emoji362]. Matches the colour of the sand at least.

Pistonhead Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Re soldered the motor tabs on the ET410 What a difference a decent iron makes when soldering! All this time I thought i was just no good at it, whilst still not perfect the joints are much stronger and a darned sight neater too. One that was done, i got the chassis skin on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Spanked the X2, a good run with plenty of smiles. I've decided that large capacity packs are too heavy an investment, so in future I'll run four 4S packs configured 2x2, still 8S, still 10,000mah, but cheaper and twice the C rating.
