Yrkoon Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) had a busy day with the sandviper, put a new chassis and half a new gearbox plus gears on it, new bumper and servo mounts. had to dremel the motor mount again as im using a 15 tooth pinion and it only had holes for a 17 and 19 one, had to dremel the front of the battery tray as well to get my 5000 mah 2s lipos to fit again took a lot of pics, im surprised it hadn't snapped with the state of it and over 10 years of abuse the test drive went well so heres to another 10 years untill i have to do it again lol # edit: see the wee square at the front of the battery tray? there are 2 of them, dremmelled them out this time now my 2s 5000mah lipos can sit flush. on the old chassis i used a thick wire cutter and a model knife 5000 mah 2s lipo in it Edited August 8, 2020 by Yrkoon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 surprisingly very few screws get lost its more the tools he loses down the decking like the 3mm hex for his multitool 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acidsnow Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Happily swap that for a hyperactive 5 year old who managed to tip my tub of screws across the shed, reckon ah found 75% of them if ah was lucky! Finally ran the mojave on 6s, different gravy! Happy enough with the 4s but this is something else! After a 7-8 week wait on the pair of 3s ah'd initially thought they were going back, took an age to get them balanced, one cell on each seemed lazy for want of a better word. Seems to be sorting out as they've gone through a few cycles, is this normal folks? No bother with any of the other packs I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Magnets are great for finding lost screws. I was stopping my beadlock wheels in the garden last week and managed to drop two of the tiny screws in the grass. Found them with a magnet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have lost quite a few at work and i always go about asking workmates to keep an eye out for them, breaking them i dont mind as 99% will get swapped under warranty for shiny new ones, just now i am missing a 3/8 ratchet and a 13mm ratchet spanner or is it a 10mm, its 1 of them anyways and will be £60-£70 to replace 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarlC Posted August 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2020 (edited) Yesterday rather than today, but........ Spent the day at the Herts Nitro Model CLub working on the crawler track, as part of the work party. We had been lucky enough to have been gifted a steel bridge (to scale of course) so set about getting a new feature installed. We are all pretty happy with how it came out.....

BlackpoolAndy Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Ordered Typhoon 3s rear wing and mount for the Granite BLX, also looking for new shell as it’s splitting on second bash on the rear. Was looking at proline bash armour for Stampede but been told these bash armours split easy and are not as good as they are made out to be.

Popular Post CarlC Posted August 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2020 Not to my model but to my workshop - After much swearing, many rebuilds and adjustments and a whole bunch of "What? hmmmm, oh yeah!" moments, I have added a Stepcraft D-600 CNC machine to the available tools. Now I just need to learn how to use it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 So today out with the cen monster truck, all of a sudden it locked up and wouldnt move, stripped it down and found the centre gearbox has grenaded, found it was cheaper to buy a whole new gearbox than replace just the broken gears! All them metal bits are the gears every gear had teeth missing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
