chewbacca Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Sorted all my pinions into pitch groups. Fitted the new hub carriers to BLBB (with the old bearings in place of the new brass bushings) and tweaked the front and rear geometry. Just a case of giving Century UK a call in the morning and requesting the correct length dogbones (not the correct part number!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Bit more progress on the emb build to begin with then finished servicing the alphastar 2350kv - hybrid ceramic bearings fitted and front end bell tapped out to M3 as the M2's we're starting to thread.

losi8igh Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 As well as running the Losi for the first time after the incident the other day I made some guards for the rear driveshafts to hopefully stop them getting wrapped up with grass again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnets feel really strong in it still, there's no way the end bell is coming off again, though will rag it about and try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 With the Hot Racing bits I collected from work - arrived whilst away - finished off the shocks, and built up the diffs last night. 50k diff oil F / R - just guessing based on others and the Beast I'll be putting in. 42.5 wt Associated shock oil - again a guess. Some say standard 30 wt is too soft, others 50 wt replacement a bit stiff. Chassis not built up, so don't know if it needs the black, blue or red HR springs - red is the 'in-between'. Al.

Sent from my Galaxy S5 Neo Thing is, there are still stories of the 'hardened' parts failing as easily as the standard. My thoughts were simply that the diffs can flex with load transfer, so the stiffer the diff case, the better. Ceramic bearings as well - possibly not ideal, but I don't intend on bashing hard once it is built, just occasional running. Al. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Painted the "custom" body on the ftx viper satin black. Couldnt get any matt black . Looks good though . Also managed to break off the" custom " bit that holds the chassis to the roll cage atthe back . Oh well. Fettled the chassis to fit 2 5000 mah 2s lipos in. I think I'll give up on that idea & buy a 4s lipo. The battery tray is 140 x50x50 mm. Ta in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewbacca Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Swapped the pinny on the Carnage from 19t to 20t. Was giving it a general once over and noticed that the front drive cup was looking borked so popped the cup and propshaft out to find that the pin in the front of the shaft had shifted to one side. I'm one unhappy Wookie right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
