Tug Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Same shell on my savage. I like it as it goes over both bumpers and makes it look huge. Thought you'd be horrified that I'd used a shell that didn't fit right!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug106y Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 It doesn't look bad from the angle you have took the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papasmurf Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I decided to strip & oil the diffs in the SS but then we got visitors so not got it completely rebuilt Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubberz Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Got my newly purchased Losi Mini-T running sweet with its new pinion fitted. Bought it from Cameron_M on the forum. Goes well but likes to wheely! Here's a short and dark vid: http://s145.photobucket.com/user/polocoupgt/media/VIDEO0043_zpsa3lyprou.mp4.html Edited April 29, 2014 by Dubberz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug106y Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Cheers. The flames are a nightmare, can't see how to get them flat. Trust me mine is far from perfect. I did it about 6 years ago and if I remember right I used a scalpel on the bits round the front of the bonnet and wings and plenty of soapy water. I keep meaning to cut the windows out and mesh them.

Greenough Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thought you'd be horrified that I'd used a shell that didn't fit right!? If it was a replica I'd understand people criticising but this is just good tinkering B-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghazghul Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Got the tuber crawler project to a roller except for temporary upper front links. Body panels next and clean up the welds on chassis and then strip down and paint before a rebuild with grease / shims / stainless hardware and rest of electrics (no esc and rx atm). Tempted to try narrowing wheels as I have a spare new set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Gave the scx10 it's first little test in it's new guise around the house. So far the steering servo seems a bit weak but i'll be ordering waterproof savox in the next few days. Taking it to work tomorrow as there's some good ground to give it a proper work out, but do think i'll ditch the 60t motor in favour of a 35/45t to give a bit more wheel speed.

Rusty1103 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Fitted front Irc shocks, rpm arms and vertigo vented clutchbell and pinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yes, it's a touch large for the car, but I reckon that if I dust off my Trencher Xs it'll look OK. Trouble is, there's not many 1/10 shells in 060 Lexan, not that I can find. This is a Parma 1/8 lid. Thoughts? Looks spot on, IMO it doesn't look too big.

papasmurf Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Rebuilt the ss & put it up for sale Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Put the carbon vinyl wrap on the bottom of the Mini 8ight for a bit of added protection, cut out some new holes in the shell where the vents are and also removed some more from the back... Hopefully run cooler now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadon Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I was driving savage flux xl around the garden testing new DX3S and drove in to the trampoline metal leg. Servo or servo horn/ saver is damaged now!!!!!! No steering!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Built this in about 3hrs this afternoon AJ, do you know if that top deck fits the Mini 8ight at all? Could be a good upgrade with the pinion/spur guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Don't think so, the EMB-1 and M8 share pretty much no parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyper-d Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Undone 80 screws only to put em back in again,was that bored I had a quick count lol. Well worth it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Tested the scx10 properly at the work's yard, plenty of stoney piles of dirt to climb and traverse. I was about half an hour through the a pack (after work) when the front end locked up. It was only a grub screw backing out of the front prop shaft letting the thing fall into two pieces. On closer inspection, the gearbox end uj had completely fallen apart. Not buying Fastrax props again to say the least lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1942 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Put an new OS no 8 plug in it, tuned the engine, crashed it and cracked a from suspension arm ... repaired it with existing parts but will require a new arm.. oops! Luckily didn't break the steering servo! before being fixed... after... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevoMikey Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I managed to get my brushless n4tec conversion to track straight under acceleration. Woohoo. Turned out to be a knackered ball joint on the left front a arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 My eyes are getting used to it, it's big, but I like it. New boots, same type of tyre, the old 3.2" Chevrons from Traxxas, but mounted on RPM Revolver rims. These are off-set to stop the body rub, they still catch the front "Fender", but only just and only under hard braking while turning full lock. I may end up trimming the rear arches too, the upper A-arms might just hit the arches on landing. I've still got to test that. Anyway, here it is, just about finished. Just about to sit and duct tape it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Turned the BLBB into an open top. That 3900kv can has too much torque for it lol. Darn thing kept flipping on to its roof. Think a punch reset is needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubberz Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Installed my brushless combo! Went for the Turnigy Trackstar 2300kv with Mod1 19t Pinion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
