Burridge Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Took my tki3 to the track for the first time (ndor) fair to say I'm pretty crap but had a good few runs round none the less and they're a really friendly and helpful bunch, I'll be back soon with thicker shock oil and better tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Had a pleasant fifteen minutes in the back garden doing donuts and jumps with the Kyosho Scorpion XXL VE. Happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Interesting day at the track today, was originally planning on testing some new setup changes, but the modifications to one of the bigger jumps had made it barely landable in a truggy, pitching the nose down to almost vertical with minimal space to get it back up - a buggy would almost certainly crash every time due to the smaller wheels. Ended up pulling the jump apart, adding some dirt and reshaping it then rolled it and tested it with a car until it felt right before laying the astro - a first at the club lol, we never test the changes with a car as we go, if the roller goes over it the the cars can lol.

chewbacca Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Ragged BLBB up and down outside my other halfs caravan, jumping it over speed bumps and having fun with it. Needs a smaller pinny and possibly a minor strip and service of the leccy bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took two 5000mah 5S packs, but despite doing one and a half laps of the park, I didn't use the second pack. Therefore; volt up, gear down for efficiency. ; ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty napalm Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Stuck the last couple of stickers on my shelf queen still have to get new 3mm offset wheels for it not sure if I should get wight or black or even bronze ? Mate that looks really well. I had a tamiya TG10 mk1 nitro with the same body. Painted my deep red like this but I did black wheels with red studs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Used up the spare 5S brick in the Scorpion, so much more fun than using the storage function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Backed on to it with my 1:1. Fortunately I only knocked it over and got it wedged. Can't be many occasions when a Defender 90 has come off second best against a Focus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XV Pilot Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 Today I had a rather interesting time disassembling and reassembling a HPI Formula Ten belonging a workmate. He bought it part assembled and un-run off EBay, but it seems that whoever assembled it was not overly fond of following instructions. None of the parts were damaged, but there were some odd assembly errors, such as all but one of the screws that were meant to keep the front section attached to the main chassis were inserted backwards so they didn't actually provide any structural support. I also found one rear tyre mounted to a front wheel while the corresponding front tyre was mounted to a rear wheel. Oddly, the foams were correct even though the tyres weren't. I had fun taking it apart completely, cleaning the dust from the components, treating the plastics to a good soak in Armorall to restore their suppleness, and reassembling it properly according to the instructions. Although the car is not the newest design out there, the kit quality is superb - every bit as good as my beloved Tamiyas - and was a pleasure to put together. Once it is kitted out with the electronics that my mate has on order for it, it should make a fine runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostewart Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Stripped the chrome off the diff covers of my Vaterra Ascender kit, now they are black like the rest of the axles Used caustic soda, the chrome was stubborn though and took 4 baths of 20-30 minutes for it all to come off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeb Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Replaced an A arm on the Typhon. Once again thread locked the grub screw for the drive shaft on the Losi XXL and re-binded it to the original dx2 controller as for some reason it loses drive with the dx4. Then went and had a bash, got my XXL stuck on the top of this Went up it to get my car and on way down lost my footing and slid for about 4 feet on my left leg Had one of them that's it the lots up for sale moments then that lasted for a good 10 minutes.
