bombercountynick Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Excuse poor quality pics. At work with just my tablet. Busy Sunday polishing my pipe also made a new bracket to attach to the engine as the old one was not worthy of being even on a basher!

Sully Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Finally got round to letting the losi 5 loose, unfortunately it was in the back garden and not the mmr track as planed (ASBO was Sick so daddy daycare today) apart from a few of my blonde moments I loved it and the wife still knows nothing about it !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombercountynick Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Upped the pinion size on my x1 CRT to a 16t and by God she was ripping this morning in the frost. Either that or I've found the sweet spot on the picco! She's wanting to pop wheelies which is a first, having to lay off the throttle trigger for once to catch some grip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Replaced MS bearings with RS bearings in the Teton and shimmed the front diff. Discovered that the servo is on the way out, so new gear set ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveyb84 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Ive ragged my little Colt round the garden, been great fun in the frost. 1st time Ive ran an RC in a little while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Well as they say, RTR = Read To Rebuild, e-firestorm flux arrived so changed the servo out for a stronger and quicker one, 40wt oil in front shocks, 35wt in rear shocks, and changed the terrible stock grease in the diff to 20,000wt diff oil. Also changed the pinion to 20t and connector to XT60 instead of stock Deans. All ready for it's maiden bash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Today I stripped, cleaned and refilled the Firestorm diff, I've always used grease before but this time I filled it with oil, hopefully it's well sealed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It strips oil out of bearings, anything oil/grease filled it gets into and is really not good for anything electrical. GT85 is the stuff, spray on, wipe off, water dispersed and a nice, Teflon coating on all parts (I wouldn't spray it directly on electrics, btw, but it can be wiped over casings). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it looks good, it eats away any lube and oil etc, and acts like a magnet for dust next time you use it. Use GT85 OR a nitro cleaner in future. Wd40 should be nowhere near your RC IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I use Gt85 works a treat plus it smells nice. Never use wd40 bearings will hate you and will turn into a grinding paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't spray it on electrics etc, only metal, been using it for donkeys years me and hobby friends. I'm happy with wd40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
