Tug Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 I didn't know you had an FTX Not in this lifetime! Thats impressive. What did you to do that? Not the first time, still trying to figure out why it's happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeb Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Had the diffs out of the mp9, hardly any oil in there at all, also put the upgraded shock towers on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtong333 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Bashed my new KM Evo for the first time (it's been sitting in its box for a week). First impressions are that it is very fast with the supplied lipo's but the steering servo will not centre properly but it will do for now. Supplied tyres have no grip at all even on tarmac and these will be changed soon. I was having fun sliding about everywhere, there is so much power, till after a gentle roll one of the back wheels came off(axial pin came out) and I was running on short grass at the time but couldn't believe my luck, I found it! Thread locked it back in ready to bash again tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a vid up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Stripped, cleaned and rebuilt the Firestorm diff in an attempt to cure the phantom clicking noise that has suddenly apleated. Failed. The clicking continues I think I'll go with plan B - bash it til it breaks then replace it Edited August 15, 2015 by everclear1984 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Got around to fitting my Boom Racing steering assembly on the Yeti, it has actually improved it by a fair bit! Also hammered the axle straight and took it for a couple of packs. Bashed my new KM Evo for the first time (it's been sitting in its box for a week). First impressions are that it is very fast with the supplied lipo's but the steering servo will not centre properly but it will do for now. Supplied tyres have no grip at all even on tarmac and these will be changed soon.

Thread locked it back in ready to bash again tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a vid up soon. Axle extenders and some cable ties round the axles will mean your pins never ever come out again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Used my new favourite general adhesive - Gorilla glue - to secure a couple of plastic backing plates, then once set (yesterday - needs 24 hours), then progressively drilled 1, then 3, 5 mm holes in readiness for lights - in the 1/16 Grave Digger shell.

onepastyman Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Today I will be scratching my head as to how to rebuild a pull start. Most things I do myself, just cannot figure this one out. Doh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Today I will be scratching my head as to how to rebuild a pull start. Most things I do myself, just cannot figure this one out. Doh! Stage 1: Order Brushless conversion kit, ESC, Motor, Lipos and Charger. Stage 2: Remove and sell all Internal Combustion related components, Stage 3: Fit Brushless conversion kit, ESC and Motor. Stage 4: Charge Lipos. Stage 5: Fit Lipos. Stage 6: Bash happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbob Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 (edited) did some soldering for the first time placing the bullet connectors on to my new Turnigy esc for the losi mini 8ight And yes I did burn myself !!!! Which colours represent the A B C on the esc from the motor? i.e A= red B= yellow C= green but the motor cable is red, black and white? Just waiting on the deans connectors and the new leopard motor to arrive :-) Edited August 16, 2015 by RCbob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Luxembourg, my 1480kv Leopard decides to disassemble itself while we're miles from home! I looked at the spare motor sat on the side at home, but figured "meh, how often do BL motors fail?". Managed to re-assemble it, seems OK.

autobutcher Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Fixed the Slash by correctly soldering the bullets, tried unsuccessfully to bodge some DIY hex pins for the savvy but it just destroys every effort, and can't seem to find 2.5 x 14mm ones. Had better rc weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Bashed them. Hard. Aqro**** threw a wheel nut. Against all odds I found it. Miper v3.0 was only halted by my shoddy soldering. Cloddy ran faultlessly. Bugsy pulled bolts out of the front uprights. PW pulled a bolt from the rear tower. The Surge MT is the true weak link in my fleet, cheap FTX cheese. Yes Evvsssv you told me so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
