Alex97 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 37 minutes ago, Mtbtomo said: @Alex97 - what carbon fibre floor are you adding to that WLtoys? Is the wheelie bar because you've upgraded the motor to something hotter? @J.K Where do get your HB Racing buggy from? Looks good! I can't see much availability or indeed any in the UK? I assume it's 1/8? Where do you race when it's allowed? It's just a sheet of 100x250mm carbon fibre so I'll have a wider flat floor the whole length of the chassis. As I've set the a arms to be flat to lower the ride height the flat I won't need to do any cutting. Once you go above 50mph as they are so light I've read that they tend to lift so this will help with that. I will need to make a front wing to keep the front in place.

NOFX Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm half way through hammering some lead into shape for some wheel weights for the Xo1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CarlC Posted February 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2021 Managed to get some paint on the boat hull, nowhere near as good as I hoped and still needs some work but at least it is better than the last attempt. I do like decent 3M masking tape. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Very little. I looked at them for a bit then fitted the rear body mount to my mad cap to saint dragon conversion. Removed the gearbox from my grand hauler ready for the new motor that's ok the way, don't want to go any further with that build until it arrives and don't want to start anything else until it's finished. That means the MK2 escort is still in the box waiting. Other than that I got my df03 dark impact stuck in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ag100 Posted February 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2021 Fitted the Proline Hyrax and 2.2 Beadlock wheels, there is a bit of a bind at the front when on full lock though, so have some new deeper hubs on the way for the wheels. moved the little scale MSD ignition modules and fitted some little fire extinguishers. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you use Futaba, I used a 4PM with my 5ive and these were the setting using a separate servo for the brakes 👍 The brake servo is on ch3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Finally! I had the time to go out with my kiddo for some bashing. 5 minutes into the fun and the Rustler Spur looked like this: Pinion went loose. And no threadlocker on any of the screws. WHY ALWAYS ME????? Why do I always have to work like a horse and earn the money and don't get anymore fun???? Something is wrong.... And my son is getting fed up with my problems. He even gave me the transmitter for his Bugsta: "Daddy, take my car and have some fun". Arghhhh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Derka Posted February 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2021 First venture into a serious speed run of my Typhon. 20T speed pinion yeiled 49.6mph on stock wheels and tyres and a single 4s 35c 5000mah Overlander battery. Things worthy to note from someone new to this type of usage... 1. You need a larger area than you think 2. You need a larger area than you think to slow down without breaking traction! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
