Wabom1981 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Created the latest indoor obstacle for my outback, bit of a beast especially when packed out with wood down one side! All good fun and beats standing in the rain on the trail I guess! Edited February 14, 2018 by Wabom1981 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Painted my new shell and rebuilt the stampede with many new RPM parts and replaced all the horrible grey components with black. Edited June 4, 2018 by Bix 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sully Posted July 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2017 Had my first attempt at vinyl wrapping a shell, think it looks ok if you shut one eye and squint with the other, baja isn't the easiest of shells for a fist timerSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bix Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) The Stampede rebuild inches closer to completion... Just needs some shell strengthening and some post holes and she's ready Can't make my mind up on whether to add decals or leave it how it is? I'm leaning towards leaving it as it is I think.

ghazghul Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Made a battery tray for the crawler so I can put a 1300 3S on the back instead of the 850 on the axle. Not so good for weight distribution, but LiPo are light and I have a beef tube to go in the front axle. Almost ready to run again for holiday in Dorset at end of month.

t2boats Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Got both cars ready for tomorrow evenings racing, charging batteries at the minute. Got my Tam' Monster Beetle going too, hoping the MIP diff will arrive for it tomorrow. Also turned my attentions to the Kyosho Mad Force. Whenever the suspension is compressed the springs snarl up as the bottom hinge pin is too far behind the centre line of the axle. So I've removed both axles and trailing arms complete and swung them over 180degrees. It's given a higher ride height and no spring snarling, plus the dog bone prop shafts won't fall out now as they're further in the drive cups. Next step is to fit 2.4ghz and see if everything works, and start up the .21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marder Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Somehow managed to get the clodbuster esc to go up in a puff of smoke, and stripped one gearbox down as the independent steering servo mount, Had bust gearbox cases where it bolts through.

XV Pilot Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Glued and bolted the green side pods to my yellow F104 race shell. Not sure I chose wisely with the Benetton-inspired yellow and green paint scheme - I think I will go all-yellow Camel Lotus next time.
