Mr Joshua Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 The slipper clutch output shaft for the rear differential broke on the Titan Twin so I fabricated a repair part an modified the shaft to accept it now I can repair by substitution rather than replacement 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BigGinge Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 Took the newly brushless F16 out for a bash and added a lot of dust to it today(it was so clean last night 😢). I can’t quite believe how big the difference is with the new motor and electronics, it’s like driving a whole new car. So much faster and much more composed, presumably because it’s dropped a big chunk of weight when getting did if the old 550 motor. I even stuck in a 3S pack (which I’d not done with the brushed setup) which made it into a right handful on the dusty track I was on. Anyway, turns out those two packs loosened off quite a few screws, including the ones holding the shocks at the top of the towers where I think I may have killed the plastic retaining nuts . So the screws have all been tightened and I’ve ordered some lock nuts for the shocks to the towers. Will try and get out again tomorrow and see if anything else falls off. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Fixed it lol Seems i was a bit luckier than walkbythesea with my shock the bottom had just unscrewed itself and nothing missing or bent so a clean up and refill of oil should be ready to rumble again 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made some quick n easy shock mounts for the highrocked gatekeeper chassis, brings the ride height down reduces torque twist and performs / looks better. Not much else besides getting ready for a day at ROSSA. 😊 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert_w164 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks @Redback - admittedly my gear hasn't got much use the last few years, but this hobby has given it a new lease on life 😁 How long does Rossa last for?

Popular Post Ag100 Posted June 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 11, 2021 Decided to try and improve the look of the fans that I stuck on in place of the original fan stickers. Got some styrene sheet and knocked up a more realistic radiator (more in the style of the real 1.1 Lasernut RockRacer), not the prettiest, but will do. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
