chewbacca Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Rebuilt 1 chassis, built another. Took the Vandal out and treated it as badly as I could, and I mean BADLY! Jumped it, rolled it, cartwheeled it, crashed it and totally bashed it. Damage? A bent rear shock shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimbobIII Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I've emailed HPI who are supposed to be repairing my faulty Maverick Strada TC Evo S. Which had an issue with with random high speed reversing. Having inspected it they reckon the battery charger is at fault. Hmmm never used it or the battery that came with it. I used their 101940 lipo. So I don't get that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnestah Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Trimmed nearly 2" width out my custom body mould for the X1-CR E. This is just a test and a bit more cleaning up on the actual mold is needed and some lexan sheet. But it's working ok so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Well a rather productive day for me, got lots more stuff painted (yesterday and today) managed to mount all my LEDs on the 8x8 and actually got them working. May not sound much to some people but to someone like me who isn't usually interested in LEDs and doesn't understand control boards and all that stuff, I feel quite proud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiza1208 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 LED's are in a class of there own to me the control bored gets me every time as you think you've got them right but they are in the wrong place. I charged some batteries ready for tomorrow night time to get back to racing the carisma not been out the tube in over a month oops forgot all about it really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Yep same here. To be honest I've never really liked LEDs too much, but this has functioning spotlights, indicators, brake lights, side lights etc... So it's quite a nice bit of kit, I'm only using spotlights, brake lights and reverse though, don't like the indicators lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YORKSHIRENEO Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) So after fitting the dom v2 clone pipe cudnt wait to bash the baja. Have to say very impressed with the performance gain. She flies now....only problem was this happened after 15 mins of spirited bashing...... Anyone any ideas how this has happened. The gear was virtually unmarked before i put the new pipe on. Surely cant be the extra power thats caused this? I also discovered a bolt missing from the exhaust header and the other one was halfway out.....cud the bolt coming out have caused this as the gears are covered??

A poor mesh is the most likely culprit. Too loose most likely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
