walkbythesea Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Fitted a DumboRC X6FG Rx into the Outlaw - mainly so I can use my X6 Tx - solely because I keep taking this car places in the Forest in a rucksack and breaking the original Tx’s antenna off!!! 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shergar Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Sent my copilot for a screwdriver for the motor 😁 I’ve definitely not stripped the gears, it’s slipped on the mounts…. maybe 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Gave the converted DBXL a rip, partly off-road, partly on-road. Runs like a dream. Motor peaked at 65 Celsius, the 18 tooth pinion seems just peachy for this car. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just assembled the front and rear CVA drive shaft kit for the FS racing (Reely freemen) crawler, these were hugely expensive, from Conrad Austria.....2 good reasons for getting them, as i need to replace the gearbox, the shafts are totally stuck on the axle stubs and on one gearbox stub, like seized on solid so i need shafts that will mate to the axle halves, 2nd these just dont fall apart, once on they stay on 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaldyMan Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Got sent to work away and forgot I left the lipo plugged into my truck. Anyway its dead, low voltage warning and it can't be recovered. Where do I take a dead battery? Can't exactly stick it in the wheelie bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't exactly stick it in the wheelie bin You can sometimes recover batteries that are below volts, eg my RX lipo went to 0, not enough to even power the lipo doctor. I was able to connect the battery to a cheap RTR lipo charger for a quick bit to get some volts into it, then connected to a good charger and its back to life. Maybe this video will be of help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Don't do it, it's knackered. If the Voltage is zero, short positive and negative (outside), then when it's sat outside for 24hrs, bin it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to discharge them but they won't play so I took them to the recycling centre. It's been an expensive £90 education as it's 2 batteries I've borked so I'm gonna stick with some cheaper lower capacity models until I've got my brain engaged properly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
