Tug Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Gave the X2 a run, lost one small bolt and ripped off another mud-flap. Any suggestions for better flaps that are more durable would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Painted and stickered a driver for the Super Sabre. And for a future project did some tyre letter painting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuBevis Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Installed the 15t pinion that came with my Kraton 6S. Yesterday on its maiden bash over some bicycle jumps I was running the stock 12t and while it was ok for getting the hang of the new truck it wasn't exactly blistering speed on 4S. Anyway today's run on the 15t with 4S was an excellent improvement, really made it a whole lot more fun. Ended up bringing the bash to a close when after the 2nd time of popping a pivot ball I noticed the lower hinge pin on the front-right was bent. Wife done better with the e-firestorm, managed to survive dozens of tumbles including some cringe-worthy tail landings on her first go at jumps, with nowt worse than keep popping out dogbones. To be fair though I was getting big air in comparison lol, but great fun and love the Kraton Cheers, Stu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't resist and i'm super impressed with the quality! Looks too good to use though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 After 3 nearly months of ridiculousness with UberRC, I finally fit a Tonegawa servo to the 5ive. Now need to wire up a regulator to run it at 12v. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it all got sorted out eventually but I'd be hard pressed to recommend buying from him. That said, I tried those mini spikes out and they are quite awesome on a short grass/dirt track. Better than the GRPs I had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Oh How Original Posted August 17, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2019 Well some more progress Rad fully finished, 'hoses' routed, not the most creative routing, but quite realistic and made the most sense for keeping bed space free. Little overview, very happy with it for my first attempt. Yellow lenses definitely needed! Always helps to outline what you're cutting out from the outside and use a lightbox, my paint jobs would be even worse without those. This tool from SSD is so neat! New beadlock rings and scale hubs on. Some colour on the body, I am so glad I did indeed decide with the red/blue theme, it would have been too much blue. Overview shots, definitely making progress, let me know what you think so far? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Had a drive of an old favourite, my thirteen year old E-Maxx. I swapped motors yesterday, but it started raining just as I finished. Took years to get her just so, still fun to drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
