Lone-wolf Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 All this Hobao talk is kinda wasted on me, as just not buying anything other than a crawler of some kind, and thats not saying the Hobao is anything but great just not for me no more, need to shift the Maverick 80HD, more than likely the jumpshot and Vantage, then see what i will get kinda liking the Gmade buffalo kit, i should also sell the blackfoot and maybe the carisma f-150 but more than likely keeping them TBH i dont think i can part with the Blackfoot, even if i rarely run it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Killed the esc and servo in my smt10. Don't know what happened just both stoped dead. Now nothing. So pulled the ones out of my flux for now. Smt10 is all sorted. Much faster now. So more fun. Fitted the spare vanquish hubs I had. And some metal chubs. A titanium steering link. And some better drive shafts. Seems to all be working now. Will test it out tomorrow and see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ant.p Posted July 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) Finally got my hands on a Tamiya model. I had totally forgotten how boring it is snapping the part trees apart and then trying not to cut your fingertips off when removing the burrs. Got there in the end and no blood spilt. Looking forward to getting the electrics in this and then wondering why I bought one half way through the first battery pack 🤣 Edited July 19, 2021 by Ant.p 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for breaking plastic parts off, this is why you use a pair of snip snips. Although if you have a booboo I can put a plaster on it for you 😁 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also still on the fence; not sure how much use it will get. Totally agree about the looks though. The Tamiya models are up there with the best looking and scale accuracy IMO. If nothing else, a beautiful ornament! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not mesh the entire shell? I get that shoe glue is dear. I’ve used CT1 which worked well for less cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot to say i do have a heavy duty shell on way so that might end up fully done. Edited July 20, 2021 by turok007 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alex97 Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Tried to save the M03 chassis, the last owner had tried to paint the wheels and somehow got the chassis as well! Some mat black spray paint and it seems to have fixed it until the replacement arrives (I might cancel it depending how this holds up) Edited July 20, 2021 by Alex97 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen the nimh shaped lipos, but I’d rather not buy them if it can be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
