AndyBell Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Switched the connectors on the battery leads for my gens ace 2s, the connector on my Rhino 4s and made the loop connector. All done with a 100w soldering gun. Made life so much easier than an iron. Heats up in a couple of seconds of pulling the trigger. Bye Bye you horrible little EC5s! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a very good reason, but why do you have an XT60 with single negative wire looping -+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBell Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Not the best pic but there are 2 ec5 connectors there though. Hope that kind of explains. If I’m running 2 2s batteries I use both connectors without the loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Made some progress on the Group B Quattro! Got the shell masking finished up, the grille pieces mostly, had a teeny bit of paint bleed under the masking, mainly in a couple of places with hard edges and the tape wouldn't lay flat, but I knew it would happen and prepared to remove the paint. Also got the magnets onto the body posts, wrapped in some heat shrink, mainly to keep them in place while they dry, but it's also a bit more pleasing on the eye. Then tested the ride height, I believe some more aggressive tyres (eventually) will be a tiny bit bigger than currently ones, so when the other magnets are added, the body will be 2mm higher, but the bigger tyres should compensate, I hope. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post everclear1984 Posted April 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2020 I spent some time in the garage last night gluing and screwing a little course for the FTX Mini. Managed to drag my youngest outside to play with it this morning. Time well spent 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarlC Posted April 4, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Had a go at painting a distressed (ratty) body for the Enduro. It's starting to come together, am experimenting with some rusting iron paint too. THat will need to be left until tomorrow night to see the effect...... Initial silver inside the shell and red dusting outside Wet with spray and added salt Top coat, over salt, in sky blue initial salt removal Final effect after adding weathering powder....

lazkopat Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Whilst doing rc in the garden my Kyosho truck glitched and went full throttle in to the shed burning out the esc 🙁 never mind it’s a hobby and let it be an esc to be replaced only ! 😊 on to my next Rc vehicle to play around with 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Put old boots on the Savvy and just ripped them up. The vid is poor, but I managed to lose half the footage. Enjoy anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not had a huge amount of time to drive it as I am in the middle of another build but it has tackled the few thinks I have thrown at it without any stress. Like all of the small crawlers it has it issue, the shocks are a bit bouncy, but I am going to do the grease mod Houghton and see if that improves things. The quality is good to, as you would expect from someone like Axial. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
