atom3624 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hacksawed off 4mm and flatted off 16x RC4WD M4 rod ends - quite a bit longer than required. As the threaded rods in the links to the TXT-2 were well and truly thread-locked in, it also meant hacksawing off 2mm off the ends of each threaded rod!! Completed and also re-assembled - Bigfoot is now ready for final set-up. Broken Record time .... still need to sort out the garage first!! Won't be (too) long now .... Al.

YORKSHIRENEO Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Changed stock 4 degree camber blocks on the baja to 1 degree.....not keen on wheels pointing in that much.....hard to tell if anything has broken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YORKSHIRENEO Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Took the WR8 and Baja out for a bash. Did this to the WR8: Then this happened to the baja (right at end)https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTp3yXgVheo Luckily it was the bolt that screws through the hex hub that had come loose and even managed to find all the bits (phew!)

YORKSHIRENEO Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 (edited) Yup tis pretty good mate. Read other ppl have been turfed off there by park rangers before but ive been there half a dozen times and not had any issues....I believe those "jumps" are an old pitch n putt area as they do look like old golf greens. Was devastated when the wheel flew off. Thought "this is gonna cost". So relieved it was down to a loose bolt. Needless to say i have checked and re-checked everything is nice n tight (ooo errr!) A couple more for ya https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7kyc-xf1RtE And a nice barrel roll at the end! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F-M2eqfktkg Edited August 19, 2014 by YORKSHIRENEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Rebuilt the ST front and rear diffs, using the 'as received' shimming, plus the missing pair of shims replaced: result, two virtually locked diffs. Cursed, stripped, shimmed as per the manual, result, two lovely smooth diffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Sprayed the 8x8, or at least primered it anyway and sprayed some of the other bits their final colour. Off to Halfords tomorrow for more primer to finish the bed off and then lay down some actual colour, weather permiting of course! Might even treat myself to some D90 work as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandalbulldog Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Rebuilt the HPI 4.1 big block clutch assembly, the swine has been chewing through bearings like a demon! Turns out there was a nut loose which is the most likely cause of the problem. Now rebuilt and needles reset. Purrs like a dream. Off to get some Nanda's now as one of the rears lost it's foam yesterday like the chest-buster scene from Alien... Broke the st .......again Doh! (again!)

atom3624 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Dropped the Bigfoot from perhaps 2 feet up about 10 times to test out the RC4WD replacement tie rod ends - all 100% without problem. Not that I'll be jumping it, but the previous ones I'd fitted would have 'popped'. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysjim Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yesterday rebuilt most of my nitro wr8 to fit rcbearings kit. New diff's haven't arrived so looks like I'll be rebuilding the flux today to fit that ones set of bearings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghazghul Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Took the Scout based crawler to the woods and actually got to use it. So unusual I only took one Lipo.

optimus Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sprayed it! It's not perfect by a longshot but for my first multi colour shell (and first shell I've done in 14 years and the fact that I done it in just over an hour) I'm quite happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
