supersavage Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Was hoping to get another tank or two through the Savage however I discovered that the fail safe on the stock radio wasn't working so ended up putting my trusty Futaba system in it. Also ended having to switch out the throttle/brake servo as it was buzzing like mad and wouldn't let the slide on the carb open fully, luckily I had a spare Savox servo in my parts draw. I really don't know where my money went on this one HPI 🤔 Edited December 23, 2021 by supersavage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jariworsley Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) Ran through my first tank of nitro in a long, long while... resurrected by thunder tiger s28. its the normal engine and a fancier (loud) pipe. cant remember the efra number. Carefully checked over, batteries charged, servos checked... new fuel bought just to remove that problem... and glow starters discharged/charge cycled a few times to make sure. and i surprised myself with it actually working, and me remembering things. unfortunately the place i went to run it will need to be brushless only. I hadnt twigged it is right next to some stables in the college. someone came out near the end of the tank. I stopped straight away. I cant imagine being in a stall with a horse with the noise of a nitro engine within 50 metres. I will have to find somewhere else for my IC horsepower. Also ran first battery through the mad bull i built over last few months. much more horse friendly noise. I shouldnt think they can even hear it. pics another time but its not standard - absima shocks, ball raced throughout, and a few of the steering mods (shrink tube on the arms and a rod to tighten up steering)... oh... and a 3653 4 pole 3000kv brushless motor. 😄 it is rapid enough. on fresh wet tarmac its possible to totally spin it at speed - steering hard over and on the brakes, wait a bit then carry on. so 2 missions accomplished. I have heard and smelt one of my nitro cars going again, and built and run the mad bull. Edit: it's 3000kv not 3600. And an RB concepts 9863 pipe.

Popular Post Ant.p Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 This has been a long time coming. Finally got round to making a start on the 8eight T2 body. Washed it and chose my colours. Next will be masking up… 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 A shake down for 2 x RCs in the pouring rain! A PTG-2 to make sure I put the electrics in properly and a 124016 with a new motor and smaller pinion! Both passed and were a lot of fun! PTG-2 chassis had fantastic handling even in the wet and was happily doing 4 wheel drifts. Both cars on 2s but feel the need to try them on 3s when I find a suitable sized battery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MrCake Posted December 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2021 Got it and myself muddy! New spot I have found although 2 out of 2 visits seems to result in a security firm showing up. Admittedly I park in an industrial estate to get to said field but not sure if I am going to have any issues? I mean what is odd about a 40 year old man with a RC car? 😆 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ant.p Posted December 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2021 Painted the body shell for the Losi 8eight T2.0 using a ‘marbling’ technique I thought I’d try out. I also had a go at framing the windows white. This was a delicate job, and it went okay. There is some paint bleed in a few spots, but if you squint it look the nuts 😅 Ive also put some belted road tyres on it as I’m planning to do some speed runs once done with the hyper 7 (so could be a while). 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 That shell looks brilliant; any more detail to share on how you did the paint job? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
