Kyosho Inferno - Less dampening and other setup changes for this weeks racing + major clean

 

HPI E-Firestorm - repaired damage caused by novice brother-in-law :D

 

Traxxas Slash - Tutted and ummed and arred at all the play in the wishbones/hubs/camber links. Decided it was fine for an SC  :thumbsup:

Fired up the TXT-2 and got a 'box of neutrals' ... !! Motors rev great - same pitch as well so well matched!!

Lower shafts are fine, so it's the upper gearbox ... need to dismantle and investigate. I'm hoping it's something simple / stupid like the pinions weren't tightened properly.

 

It'll run ... eventually!!

Cardboard boxes to move house with. However, Very disappointed with parcel force.

Its pouring with rain and having not answered the door (toilet break at a bad time!) they decided it was faster to lob them over the back gate than write a red card.

Luckily all items were fine but if I'd been out that would have been another matter.

Royal mail got bought and turned to

Sorting out an ftx carnage that a mate got used off eBay, barely a speck of dust on it but alignment all wrong and two bent shock shafts along with loose grub screws at the rear, had to file the flat spots again for the grub screws as they had been mashed up slightly...

Here next to my firestorm

Finally got round to soldering the esc connections on the 22 and powered it up for the first time, followed by some gentle runs in the house to fine tune the diff and slipper settings.

I did that with my b5m and it left some lovely skid marks on the carpet!

Popped a 1:8 motor fan onto the Slash. I'm not a massive "fan" of fans, they're for your PC! But temps have risen a fair bit since fitting a Dusty Motors shroud and I'm never running without one again!

It wheelied down the hall lol, may need to back the punch off a tad lol

I use a vampire v1 motor that is very punchy motor so its hard not to wheelie even on low grip surfaces.

I packed my car stuff up ready for practice tomorrow.
