The body and accessories took about 4 days. The detail is amazing and I think it turned out well. 17 minutes ago, No brains said: I like it I love the wild willy body and I want it for myself but I never bought one because I know I distroy it and it is to nice for that. Just get one I don't know why I waited so long. It's an amazing build and glad it happened. Now I want an XR311 to go with it and maybe a FAV and a tank, and a helicopter.........

Popular Post everclear1984 Posted May 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 20, 2020 Gave the mystery car speed project its first shakedown. Lots of bodgery goodness, should probably check that the tyres are glued next time! 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack1 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Had a revelation for the 5ive-T. Been using the standard nihm battery that came with it, not realizing the lipo's I use on my 700 nitro heli would fit. Have a spare to try which has now saved me £50 quid from not having to buy another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Busby Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) The Mojakraphon is taking shape, with a strange 1/7 buggy shell ordered from the USA. Trying to decide if I should stick to the stock towers or switch to the carbon fibre speed towers.

You need a weak element somewhere and as the standard towers are reasonably malleable I suggest them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Thought I'd better glue the tyres for the TT-02. Why does glueing tyres have to be a thing? I nearly glued my fingers to the wheels, each other and nearly glued my jeans to my leg lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlC Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Added some SSD brass knuckles and rear axles weights to the Enduro. Then made some tie down straps for the UMG10. Edited May 22, 2020 by CarlC 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a weak element somewhere and as the standard towers are reasonably malleable I suggest them... Well the speed towers are a very different design. They're super low profile and designed strictly for road running. I also think the carbon fibre offers a reasonable amount of flex, certainly next to the "6061" that Arrma towers are apparently made of. I will also have some Titanium typhon ones in a couple of weeks when Scorched Parts sort out thier processing, so I will have a few options. I'm not planning on this being total tank basher in the same way as my Kraton, may end up being more of a speed run vehicle. The shell will hopefully be sitting significantly lower than it is right now so it may well look and work really well with the speed towers, but I need to figure out the rear ... will have to see! I have a few ideas with this buggy, how they will pan out I don't exactly know. One of those plans includes buying some Kydex and making my own bumper/aero system... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threedee999 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Quanum Vandal/FTX Vantage. Yesterday/today cleaned 2year old rust from last bash at sea side (yeah, bad idea). Knocked straight dogbones/cvd shafts. Rebuilt shocks (damn rusty springs). Inspected everything down to a bolt (bent bolts on tower/shock connections ). Reset steering servo arm, as apparently i was hitting servo housing with horn screw, there's a divet in servo now Need to learn to adjust suspension as front tires excessively worn on the outside. Also, hopefully today need to figure out how to replace foam in glued tires. Now looking around the house for suitable foam to replace with. (pool noodles ? :) ) Got some weights for balancing the wheels, will do that after foam is re-fitted... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post sminsta Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 Finished making up carbon shock towers and diff plate and steering arms. Not bad for using a drill and a dremel All transferred onto a brand new chassis, just waiting for a clutch to turn up tomorrow and then to set up my new radio gear and hopefully get a bash in tomorrow 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post everclear1984 Posted May 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2020 Glued the tyres on the mystery car. Going by the state of my hands, anyone who didn't know better would say I applied it to my fingers, and some of it just happened to land on the tyre 😂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
