I was doing a high speed pass and she stepped out from behind me, took her clean out. She was three! Young bones are bendy! My old man got taken out by a Losi 5ive at pretty close to flat out, thankfully it was quite slippy ground so his feet didn't stick, apparently elderly bones are bendy too lol. I still have a scar on my shin from my Baja smacking me about three years ago. As for today, we got them dirty tried out my new-to-me 1.9 modded Wraith, not sure brushless is for me or 1.9 Wraiths in general so I might just move it on, we will see.

CattoCattoExo Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 no pictures yet, but i made a start on scratch building a bash bar bumper out of styrene tubing for a drift missile shell im doing... it looks like a pile of you know what, but its meant to look ratty and ruined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlC Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Change the suspension springs for slightly softer ones on my TRX-4, as I removed the defender body and the new one is a bit lighter. If the postie comes through tomorrow there will be many more changes....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Even tho it was a great looking Nitro Truggy, I just can't be bothered to run in a new nitro engine, Or mess about with all the aggro that comes with running a nitro when you just go out for a quick play, Servo's that come with it were fast but only rated at 13KG, And as I would be running it with some big old Thunder Tiger wheels, I thought why not use a duel setup as I have most of the stuff needed.

CarlC Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Added a winch to the new build, think the cheapo bumper I got on ebay may not be square, but hey, it adds character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacRaguel Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) New to this so been having lots of fun Providing nothing breaks in the next month I’ll be investing in something a little special, I don’t want to say what because they sell out as fast as they are produced and the next production run is at the end of the month a little bird has informed me Edited January 4, 2020 by MacRaguel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Knocked up a battery tray, Little bit heavier than a plastic one, But not much, But I like making stuff and wanted it to help stiffen the chassis, So it's a full aluminium job. Also made a start on the motor mount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterthedrummer Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yesterday took my HPI E Firestorm out after 2 min my pinion gear came loose Today took my traxxas slash 2wd out in the dark thought I had a problem but it fixed itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CattoCattoExo Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 took it apart, cleaned the carpet fibres off of it, adjusted the motor mount position, decided to change the layout of the electrics, got stumped by the toe adjustments (toe is horrible, why does adjusting toe have to be such a bugger to do!!) now waiting on a few bits from modelsport so i can do the shock oil, stick bits down, and change from magnets to velcro for shell mounting, seeing as im having terrible luck with magnet mounts XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yer,I've used this stuff before, I think people forget just how hard a small bit of 3mm aluminium is to bend, I will have a small angle brace on that chassis outer hole, And one on the inside if it doesn't interfere with the motor. Look better once shaped and cleaned up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Today I was very productive. I fitted bearings throughout the tt01 and added some bling (some practical, some not), then I made up a light kit from some led's I had lying around. I'll post up a pic soon but right now I'm knackered and am calling it a night 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babylon Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Spent another few hours in the shed having a potter, It's come out looking a lot better than I thought it would. Still needs a bit of a clean and polish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnknan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Looks good. How difficult is it for a first timer to do? Can I do it with just a Dremel and a drill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a first timer as such, Did make one some years ago for a CRT, But it was nothing like this. To make this I have used a drill, a Dremel, A grinder with a Flap disc in which is a sort of sanding disc, But that's optional, hack saw, set of vernier, Nothing special, Time is the most special tool, Take your time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnknan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Ah great thanks. Could potentially make a profit by buying used nitros and converting them to electric rollers 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBen Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Nothing too special. Rewired the servos and switches as I rushed them when i frist assembled it. Raised and stiffened the suspension too! I know the shell needs re-doing . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
