Yeah, the 8000 Zippy packs aren't bad, but still get pretty warm. Those are 30C, so 240 Amp, should be enough, but I'd like to try and improve the temps on the cells.

ghazghul Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Fitted the soft kit tires on the WPL and drove it around a bit. Soft tires fall off the rims, so may need gluing. They do grip pretty well though. Then decided was about time worked on Evoque TA02 so made a new chassis plate to adjust the wheel base a few mm. No more tire rub at front, and looks better with the suspension sat at the running level (about 60% droop). Worked a bit on getting the interior mounted solid on the chassis as the body bolts to the interior. Next job is to find a home for the 1080 ESC and a battery. Probably going under the bonnet but access could be a pain for the battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghazghul Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Mounted ESC and spent ages trying to solder a pair of deans as a motor connector. Gave up and did it in 30s with bullets and a cooks blowtorch.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bix Posted September 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2018 Gave the MT410 it’s first proper beating today ? it took everything I threw at it including some pretty pony landings on my part. I’ve tweaked the braking for the next run so hopefully will be a little less twitchy in the air. This thing is an absolute beast though! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Been rooting around the parts box and built a servo winch out bits I had laying around. The servo has been modded but removing the limiting pin, locking the potentiometer in the middle position and drill out the potentiometer key way in the main servo drive gear and to my surprise it works perfect! Just need some kind of bobbin/spool to fix to the servo disc now 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomzac66 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Wheel Bearings and rear diffs After another sand bashing decided to check them out. Rear axle shaft looks free of sand. Broken rear c block Taped up for now Got these on order in silver, or maybe red. Gorilla taped the body holes nice neat holes with this. Then into bearings and bits Finally got rid of these IMO they serve no purpose they just get in the way. Mostly in the sunshine. Quick update Pinion looks free of sand what you can see has fell in ( cleaned it out) The diff cup further over looks good too. Going to dig deeper when the rest of the upgrades arrive. Chunks of my life come under the heading “Well it seemed like a good idea at the time” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would work, but I’ve found sewing machine bobbins on eBay and they are dirt cheap, 10 for £1.49 lol, also looking at online pics it’s what everyone else uses ?

Yep they are a very popular choice, servo winches are so much stronger than most other stuff on the market, for a fraction of the price. Some even buy those dummy winches for 12quid and mount those on the front with the line just running through it to a hidden servo winch.
