Lone-wolf Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Painting outside is not really an option for me, so the question is either have the new shell and start again or cancel the new one and just run the green gold one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Fitted a new Spur after stripping the first one on its first outing, also tidied up the wiring. Also did a little mod to the slipper suggested by @mak01, by replacing one of the bushes with a bearing.. Ran two full packs through it in the garden, it flies!

Whilst these are not colours I’d personally choose, I really don’t think it looks bad at all Jack. And you did a decent job of it. Like I said before, if you hate it FairPlay, else I reckon you should save your money and just drive the wheels off that one for a bit 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good thanks Alex, I also borrowed your idea to use the red Hiro Seiko countersunk washers too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack1 Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Made good use of a sunny day today and swopped out the wheel bearings on the 5ive-T. Not a moment too soon by the looks of them. Really easy to do so really wished I had done it sooner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonedef Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Early morning bash with the Outcast. Had a blast but killed it 😪 Motor died, as well as one of the heat sink fans. Time for that esc/motor combo upgrade 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tomzac66 Posted June 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2020 (edited) Got fed up of this broken blue body. so broke out the turps and a scrubber 🧽 4 hours later ready to paint , new body’s are £25 posted + they’re out of stock. purchased some masking from MS with my voucher & set about a makeover. Had the paint in stock. considering it’s going to get bashed it turned out alright for me anyway. Nick you'll be pleased to know that MSUK sticker survived 4 washes & 4 scrubs with turps before I had to peel it off 👍👍 Edited June 9, 2020 by tomzac66 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
