Popular Post Oh How Original Posted December 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2020 Making some progress on the weathering and rusting of the Dodgy '46 Power Wagon build... Coming along rather nicely. I'm sure the badge will trigger some folks but make a lot of Ford and Chevy guys smile... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timtcr Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Fitting a center diff to my revo 3.3 electric conversion oh and found out never buy cheap esc from ebay as after 10 minutes of driving her alot of smoke and been in wheel chair could not get to her fast enough so also fitting a 4s esc instead of the 6s that she had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Bit more weathering done and some more rusting. Also made holes ready for the lightbar and I made a quite visor for it too, don't know why I never did it with my red PW to be honest, but this is nice and light so should be fine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much clutter around the house, not getting any time to drive them, still hankering for an SBR. And to stay on topic; whilst walking past the X2, I checked nobody was looking, then ran a hand over it. Roll on summer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanveer Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Gave the mini-t a quick bash in the garden. It's getting expensive with the bodyshells lasting one or two runs before shattering though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain .R Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I see quite a few comments about braking bodys . Would a fiber glass body be stronger or does the body take the kicking the car gets away with it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I have seen a lot of people do is re-inforce bodies with drywall tape and a sort of contact adhesive. Seems to work well, even if it does add a bit of weight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain .R Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 I used a very strong blue tape I got from B&Q this stuff is strongit's like electrical tape but wide as duck tape and it's very very sticky so lined the whole body with that as you guys have done . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 First and last run with the Capra, great rig, I am just not a portal guy, will be up for sale to help pay for the new kit I've got coming from America. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about portals that takes away from your enjoyment?I ask because Im thinking about getting a crawler or two (kids don't seem to be gelling with bashers) and it seems portals are generally held to high esteem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just enjoy the more challenging technical aspect of a straight axle. I've also ordered a Vanquish VS4-10 from Amain Hobbies, so the money will go towards that, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Paulnb57 Posted December 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Started yesterday, got this far today, now need to source motors, esc etc...... Of course RC4WD left the motor pinions and two spacers out of the kit.....deep joy!..... The difference between this and an Axial SCX 10 is amazing, the Bully is so light!....although it needs two motors yet...

monkeyboy_uk Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I serviced the front axle on my Axial RR10 Bomber. Quick look at the rear axle and it looks ok. Transmission tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain .R Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Nice .. can I ask how do you find different wheels to fit your car . Is it by chance you got them already or is there as way to find out As you know real tyres have the sizes on the sides . Its I'd like to swap my wheels on the carnage to thinner bigger wheels (thinner and taller wheels ) . Same with my back shocks as iv fitted one them roller wheels as a bumper (not that I need it for speed or wheelys ) So the back is a bit low and dont spring back up like the front ones do . Iv changed the oil and wind the nut all way down and they are brand new away well . So thinneran taller wheels and Springer shocks for the back..
