Popular Post Paul Busby Posted April 4, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 4, 2021 So i had the stiffener The full stiffener Now I have the big stiffener (name is growing on me) Don't be fooled into thinking this is a great print, it's rough as dogs, this is just the side that was on the bed... need to work on my TPU settings for this printer. I'm super confident in this one though, now that I have experienced a break, i think i have honed in on the issue. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Big Stiffener made by Pfiezer?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can call that, the maximum stiffener 🤪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogBone Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 While cleaning hyper st and sorting out the broken wing mount I discovered I'd broken the cnc rear brace too 🙄 Thankfully I've got spares for both so all fixed again. Might need to slow down a bit 😅 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaldyMan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Lost steering to the Quantum. Dissassembled and reassembled the servo and it seems to be cured. No idea what happened just assuming something wasn't tightened up at the factory and needed sorting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldyMan Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I can see why people like kit cars. I had no clue what I was doing and was just undoing screws and bits and putting them all back together in reverse order. Reckon I'm gonna just pick up a cheap Tamiya buggy to get my hands used to tinkering in and around an RC car, they're a bit different to the toy Nikko I had 20 odd years ago. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Went to Burton Dassett Hills, awesome playground! The terrain is simply perfect for off-road cars. The grass is kept short by the sheep, but of course that means avoiding their deposits. Wish I'd taken a car with me! There were several people there running cars, plenty of natural jumps, hundreds of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Tried to give the DBXL a little run, but the same old dog-bone decided to let go of its drive-pins again. Back to the workshop (back of the van), ground a flat spot into the pins using an angle grinder, then reassembled with even more threadlock. Eleventieth time lucky? I'll let you know.

Seminole81 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Did a few little mods to get my son’s (and my) first Maverick Quantum Flux up and ready for a run tomorrow morning. Opened everything up finally and got it all out. Changed the washers behind the wheels. loctite on the servo horn screw loctite on the grub screw on the rear driveshaft Put the heat sink around motor new batteries in the controller charged a LiPo to make sure all good, tested it sitting on top a makeshift stand, all good, but I did notice a slight wobble on 2 of the wheels. Anyone confirm if this is normal please? 😊👍🏻 IMG_5304.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzzock Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Wasn't feeling the best today, but managed to position and drill the final mounting position for the battery tray in my Hyper 7. Bit of countersinking in the morning and I can then start to put it back together. Ian... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blast and Cruise Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Today Speky ESC went into LVC, for no reason i could think of on fully charged batt so i recalibrated and updated Firmware. 1st time I'm using the speky stuff, so its a bit of a learning curve. hopefully its cured its little issue . Lowered the Ride height, cos i run this V5 on tarmac right now, until weather improves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seminole81 Posted April 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2021 Took our Maverick Quantum Flux out for the first time today. My little lad and our first RC car. Had a blast with it over a large field. Went through 2 4000mAh 2S LiPos. unfortunately have a small break by the little lad hitting the brakes from flat out 😅 result was a front flip and it landing on the body posts which caused them to break. Parts are MV150199 anyone knows of some aluminium ones 😅 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
