Pistonhead Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 (edited) Gotcha lol. I’m really after a new set of the HPI Yokohama Geolanders though, those were amazing on everything, i’ve got an old set from my MT2 kicking about that i May attempt to reuse if i can’t find any lol Today i took the Scx10 out to Gwenver, near Sennen for the first run since I rebuilt it. Three out of my SSD shocks are leaking so will have to look into that, probably due to crawling in the soft sand i did lol. Had so much fun i forgot to get any video or photos, even when a Navy Merlin helicopter flew by, slowly at about 100ft....

ghazghul Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Swapped the 70T Maverick Scout motor in the tube frame crawler thing for a random 27T rebuildable I found in a draw. Changed from a 20 something pinion to a 14T. Much faster, still seems torquey enough on 3S. Really ought to strip whole thing down and paint it as it's been "done" for years but is still bare metal. The frame is rusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pistonhead Posted May 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2019 Took the G6 out on one of my favourite local coastal paths, between Mousehole and Lamorna Cove, i might add that despite walking it countless times, i’ve never driven this stretch before, so each obstacle was new and most of them were very challenging and technical, with only a couple of alternate lines to take. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Quick run with the Senton, 6 cells of course. Some small jumps and some medium jumps, roughly five feet of air. One or two bad landings, plus some perfect touchdowns. Quite a few spills, including a nosedive and a couple of inverted landings, but no harm, so no foul. Arrma tough, baby, yeah!

It's right up there in my fave 5 What makes this different is I've slightly strayed from boxart decals and added missing livery. Add to that a few more details. Just a side note, the bodyset has been sat in the wardrobe since 31st July, 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Installed the badland mx38 wheels cherry on the cake moment and damn I'm happy the stance is great it's almost wider than long. The old hpI trophy tryggy wheels look tiny next to the mx38 I hope I won't regret them with bogging issues. Like nitro with big joes. I thought they would be slimmer tbh but they do look the part. My phobe is flat so can't put a pic. Should I use fishing line around them to stop ballooning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DartmoorTrails Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Done loads of work on my faux Bender SWX. Climbs like a beast but is causing me headaches with trying to fab up custom spots for electronics...

mond Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Tried to figure out how I bent the chassis on the 5ive as it was not bent in the way you may expect. The nose was bent downwards and the front part of the front bulkhead had the screws pulled entirely out. I think the Bartolone skid plate that comes up over the bumper caused it by getting caught up in an end over end crash. Ditched that as it also permanently deformed the bumper braces. Bent it back any stuck a FID skid/reinforcement plate on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
