Popular Post Ant.p Posted June 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) New Badland tyres MX38 3.8’’ on Raid Black rims. These have removable hex’s so if I round another off, I can just replace that rather than the whole wheel! last photo shows old and new. Only slightly (practically identical) larger diameter, but good 25mm wider. Hoping this will add some stability in the corners with the added overall width of the truck. Can’t wait to try them out!

Popular Post Ant.p Posted June 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2021 Finally got the electrics yesterday. Paid a visit to Redfin Models; it’s the most amazing place!!! went for HW Max 8 with HW Razor eight motor with castle fan. Just a basic Etronix 6ch pulse transmitter/receiver combo. All tested in the office, but yet to take it out for a spin. Will be great to race my son with the same model. am just waiting on a waterproof receiver box which is due anytime soon and we’re good to go! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzzock Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 The unpainted shell doesn't have it cut out I believe (H86227) I have got them from a couple of places, as one wasn't enough, initially I got them from eBay seller rc-willpower in Taiwan. However a couple of months ago I noticed Wheelspin had them in stock https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/10431/ (Not now sadly).

I wouldn’t be surprised if they do some damage to the drivetrain. I didn’t necessarily want larger wheels, but these were all the shop had in stock. Not a bad thing, the truck looks proper mean with them on! I’ll maybe drop the punch a few notches to help counter it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostewart Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Added a hobbywing combo and SRT DL5020 to my Granite 3s BLX - due to problems with the stock ESC/Motor. Stock kit is going back for testing under warranty as it didn't run right stock. Always loved Hobbywing products, been using them since the old WP-SC8 days and the Max10 SCT / 3200kv 3660 combo is superb (ran one a while back in an old Axial Yeti) - never let me down 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hell horn. Posted June 30, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2021 Finally I got my rc4wd merlin shell fitted to my chassis. Took a lot of messing around to get it right. Trimed the front bumper down. Ground out a small bit of the gearbox/ engine cover to fit under the shell. Cut up some old chassis braces to fit rear shocks in. Now I got to smash in the esc and make up a battery tray. And paint the interior 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I sold my EXB to my pal, immediately had diff trouble…. So we spent hours looking for the issue…. We found some general wear and tear, nothing major (but more than id expect after the 10ish runs it had!) Finally found this, hardly visable to the eye Decided was best to come to a deal for a whole new rear diff from a breaker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
