cookie666uk Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Maidened the new defender shell. Had a blast! 2 x 3s 3300mah packs down to storage and over an hour on each pack. 2.5 hours total runtime across roughly 4 miles of heathland... No damage to report. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t2boats Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) Fitted an ali clutch/pinion carrier to my Baja 5b, and chucked on the tarmac wheel/tyre set ready for a speed trial tomorrow It's running a hostile gear set 19/55 with a Zenoah 29cc with a 668 carb, 25:1 fuel mix. Any guesses as to what top speed it'll reach? Will pop up a vid tomorrow with the result. Edited March 14, 2017 by t2boats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be doing a few runs back n fore, gradually tweek in that high speed needle. I did my Matrix SCT a while back on the bench and you could hear the difference in engine pitch afterwards.. and to see it blast around with so much more life is highly rewarding and never fails to put a smile on my face.. I'm going for 40 to 42mph at the mo, will be happy with that first time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Conquest is more capable with a power feed etc. but doesn't get used a lot but handy to have when the micro lathe isn't enough. One thing with these Chinese lathes though is to get one with an ungraded motor control board. Mine have American made boards. Also make sure they have a kill switch that stops the lathe if the cover over the chuck is opened.

cookie666uk Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The killswitch over the chuck is not too much of an issue for me. I use much bigger at work without.... It gets used only to stop coolant getting chucked everywhere. However a power feed is crucial to me. Does it have the ability to be connected to a digital measure screen?

The current model has a few differences but is available with a digital speed readout. https://chestermachinetools.forumchitchat.com/file?id=2070431 There are aftermarket digital position set-ups. http://littlemachineshop.com/info/dro_compare.php John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Fitted a way smaller pinion in the bad bug. Amazed I found it . Should help keep the temps down a bit. The esc (120a ) was cool & batteries nice & cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
