Nitroholic Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Today...I watched the outer casing of my WPSC8 disintegrate....... Opened it up to clear some muck out of teh fan, and ...... now I am going to have to do a lot of fiddly glue work. Great. But on the plus side, I test ran the Anderson M5 with it's new compact and tidy battery compartment. Handling is not affected ( as in it's still rubbish ) but it's also still just as much fun and looks better into the bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Ragged the Ally-Maxx over at the park, a good drive she be. Motor hit 70C and ESC hit 60C, a bit warm, but I'll lose no sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Added detailing to the fuel tank and air tanks on the truck, rather than paint them freehand or spend ages masking them up, I decided to use silver vinyl instead, I’m really happy with how they came out 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DartmoorTrails Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Mocked up the arse end of the scaler then decided to alter the deadbolt body and got carried away.... Not sure about that now, might need more stickers!?!? Wrap went on nicely though [emoji106]Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally stripped and repaired. The screws holding the crown gear in place were too short and had backed out, the sun and spider gears had then munched themselves.

Tug Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 As I've used an RC component, I'll post this here. The detachable grill-pan handle had been broken for more years than I can remember, I was about to order a new one, then decided to try and fix it. Turns out a Savvy servo saver spring is perfect! Result! I'm feeling rather smug! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonedef Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Serviced the centre diff on the Outcast again, due to it still leaking. I may have to invest in an alloy diff case.

Tug Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Plucked up the courage to have a look at the rear diff on the X2, first time I've stripped that part of the car down, and yes, it's munched. Losi spares ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheP0acher Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Massive front end impact with the H7 into a clay mound and i thought it was a write off.. all it did was this and knocked 2 screws off the lipo tray.. im impressedSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghazghul Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Finally found the Outback mini charger (exactly where I've been looking since Friday) so I can try it on the little course I made around the garden only to find it doesn't charge the battery any more. Had a closer look and noticed a nasty brown stain. It's blown a capacitor right off the PCB. Chopped the wire's off, soldered them into an XT60 and using the Accucel to charge it. I think I'll just order some 750mah 1S LiPO and then can use the same lead to charge them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Looked at a few... Work to be done on the SCX10 which I can't be bothered with.
