Tug Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Decided it was time to swap the pinny on the DBXL. The 15 was definitely under geared, so changed it out for an 18. Quick street test and it's much better, still accelerates hard, but with a better top speed. On the 15 you could hear it peaking the revs, but the 18 sounds right. Motor and ESC both nudged 50 Celsius, cells 45 Celsius. That's OK with me, it was running back to back speed passes. General bashing should be easier on the system. Not sure on the mesh, I've always struggled with mod 1.5. Time will tell if it's right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BigGinge Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 Do I regret taking the cars out (on some wet freshly mown grass) with the boy at the weekend? Yes, Yes I do. Think I’ll be pulling bits of dried grass out of this for months to come. 🤦♂️ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Covered the inside of it with glue. Fun job. Now it should be super strong. And I have to remove glue from everything I own lol. And ordered some bits and pieces for the x-maxx. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted June 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2021 Finished it. Wasnt intending running it, but for sake of a £60 Combo and £30 radio set, oh and an alloy prop shaft….. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 A comparison Ive wanted to try as soon as they came out. Finally in a position to own them, in highly modified state. An array or 3s and 4s batteries on charge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCake Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 A day off which meant a crawl and a bash session with my dad who is also back into the hobby after 25+ years. Was nice not having to be clock watching like when trying to squeeze in a bash session around work. Didn't appreciate quite how muddy it was which has left me spending a good hour cleaning all the mud from the Slash. Only a couple of weeks ago it was a case of brushing off all the dust! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post No brains Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Run the Hpi jumpshot mt for the first time today on the beach, run 2 6000mah 2s packs trough it, really like the car I am happy with it, it handles very nice and was a lot of fun to drive, and it jumps a lot better then the tamiya wt-01 truck it replaced.

Hell horn. Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Fitted front Rpm hubs to the x-maxx. Made up 2 more xt90 charging leads. So I can run both duel chargers together now. Much better. 45 minutes to charge up 4 5/6000mah 4s battery packs. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaches are brilliant, just don’t drown the electrics and clean and lubricate EVERYTHING really well on your return - salt water and sand will eat your car faster than you can blink 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted June 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2021 Up early for some reason, so finished the painting on my Maxx shell. Simple, and Im awaiting the cage/plastics to come into stock but loving how it looks! Also Got the Cossie running. Just on a 2s, etronix radio etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am tempted now, think it'd be a blast if I'm honest. Wouldn't run it through the salt water though. Think if I were to do it, I'd get one of those dusty covers first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll still have to completely disassemble it afterwards, sand is a total killer and will get everywhere and the salt will get in it anyway just from the sand - but it will be an absolute hoot and totally worth it 🤘😎 But don’t listen to me, I’m a well established terrible influence 😈😈😈 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block all holes in the tyres, if sand gets in, you ain't getting it out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
