turok007 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Broke my slash just after the first run. managed to get a quick go last night then decided to link my phone to the app. it wanted to do a update but instead it killed the receiver. So i spent a couple of hours today getting life back into it. I got it to update by using a old 4AA battery holder. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Gave the Infraction a bit of a clean. Probably could do with stripping it down but I can't be bothered to go that far lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant.p Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Took a new set of wheels out for a maiden run today. They almost made it round the Arc Raceway circuit 3 times before one tore off the rim. Fortunately Tony sorted me out with a replacement set! wheels from Modelsport: Roapex Buggy 1:8 tyre Rhythm on Black rims 17mm * would avoid for the VSe! 2 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed Modelsport and they responded quickly saying that these are budget wheels and that they aren’t suitable for performance vehicles like the VSe. Doesn’t say that on the website! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Rebuilt my 30dn sdt shocks and fitted a 20t pinion to replace the stock 19t. And ordered a few parts for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Took the Infraction for a walk to the local industrial estate. The electrics are much happier since I removed the scorched inner fenders, even in this heat but now I have to clean it again 😭 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzock Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Might have made the wrong decision yesterday to go out in the middle of the hot day and bash my Hyper hard. May have killed one of my batteries in doing so. 😢 Very mild puffing, but enough to split its solid case: Put it on a storage charge for the moment whilst I make my mind up if it is toast or not (The puffing 95% went as it cooled.)

Popular Post Redback Posted June 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2021 Attempted to speed run silly overpowered stock DR10 plane.... I mean drag car. no surprise what happened next. 😂 Still clocked a pb when it wasn't on its roof, so chuffed for that, its got potential once it stops wheeling and it didnt have a wheelie bar and was to be expected all for a fun once off test. 2s 120c 6000mha on mamba monster x 5.5t 2 pole sensored. 56mph (if i recall correctly) was the sucsessful trap run, figure tba. video-1623510685.mp4 Thanks @GMballistic for the footage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian... Ok, so my novice experience didn't realize this is an issue. Will have to check my batteries over. I mean, they're more or less brand new, but I had similar issues running over the weekend. Our cars kept stopping. We ran through tall grass so I'm guessing it was just overheating on the hot day as the batteries were warm and the motor was hot. I switched the cars off and back on and that temporarily fixed them until it happened again. Is that a common issue when it's hot out? What's the best way to combat it? Fan mounted on heatsink?

Lower gearing is the norm, lowers the load on the electricals. Fans are just something else to go wrong. Besides, fans won't help the cells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, fans won't help the cells. Very true, and that was what I was thinking. The batteries weren't overly hot though, just a bit warm. It was more the motor. I already lowered the gearing as I went from 48T spur and 17T pinion to 64T and 19T 😞 I stupidly put my phone under the cover a few times to clock the speed. Got 27 mph out of it, which is about a 4/5mph drop, but have to bear in mind it had my iPhone stuck to it (fell out a few times 😅) so that's a canny bit of extra weight and the path I was flying down was a bit bumpy, so might have gained another 1/2mph.
