Tug Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Quick test of some 3S packs I bought late last year, wow! The Kyosho Scorpion XXL VE can now flip on its roof! That's a first! Not bad for a 1/7 scale, long wheelbase, 2wd buggy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioFish Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Added strength to the bruder low loader, looks much better no flex.... Also worked out how lift/lower the ramps.Sent from my LG-H870 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 The Kraton rebuild has begun. This is the first dry-assemble of the centre diff (no oil to check shimming). I probably could have shimmed the planet gears a little more, but overall it was close enough that I'm happy so I've stuck some 300k oil in there and now just waiting for it to settle. Shims used: Outdrives - 3mm on one side and 2.5mm on the other from either 3RAC-SW05/V2 or KYO96643 Sun Gear - KYO96774 on one, and the 6x20 shim from FTX7694 on the other Planet Gear - CR452 on one gear and the 3.6x12x0.2 from ASC89108 on the other side of the pin. I found the associated one to be a bit thicker than the Core RC shim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Finished up algining the wheelbase and smoothing out all the edges on the C10. Put some new hubs on and new tyres, got proper tuck now, doesn't look like a massive difference but it's enough for me to tell and be happier with it now. Waiting for new TRX4 springs to bring the ride height down a touch further and waiting for paint. Trying to decide if to paint the inside or the outside.

Paul Busby Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Made some progress on the rebuild. This Titanium chassis is super interesting to work with as it's kinda deliberately flexible. Not impressed with the replacement diff case from Arrma though. Had to really persuade it into shape and even file some edges as it was fouling the Ackerman... But it's in there.wonder if i got a bad batch or if they changed supplier, as I'm sure the original one was better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Got my new springs, so it's now sat a bit lower, much much better IMO. Before After 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Busby Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Decided to put the Rocket motor in for the build this time, and also added a heatsink to ensure zero temp issues, even though I really wasn't expecting any.As you can see from the pics, I'm trying out some thermal tape to improve conductivity between the heatsink and fins. Logic being similar to thermal paste on a PC HSF, in that the metal to metal contact wouldnt be perfect so hopefully the tape will fill the gaps.I also added a small rubber pad where the bottom of the motor will be near the chassis. I'm hoping when doing jumps this will reduce the amount of strain on the motor mount for landings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Managed to bind my P47 to my transmitter successfully. Now I know that it works I'm toying with trying to "weather" it a bit or maybe completely repaint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Colour decided, I actually wanted to go with something different this time, to my usual blue or red, but I think this will work, I am taking inspiration from a 1:1 truck. Running a HW 1080, Holmes 35t Trailmaster, and a cheap Amazon servo, using it as somewhat of an experiment, for more 'realistic' slow steering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
