Popular Post BigGinge Posted June 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2022 Got some time in the sun to clean the truck down today. 1st time I’ve ver used a hose pipe to clean an RC car but it was the only thing that would shift some of the mud I’d picked up. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 Nice early finish from work, so gonna take the UDR out whilst its (hopefully) quiet. Still not decided on it, so today will either end up with me selling it or modding it. Also gonna try the Maxx again this time on 4S. Recently shimmed the diff as it was slipping bad, but didnt replace a gear so it may be damaged. Initially it seemed cured on 3S so we will see 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted June 28, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2022 Soo I took my Mrs Maxx out. Now most of my RCs are pristine. The second theres an issue, I go above and beyond, spending probably too much replacing parts. Even things like scuffed bumpers and skid plates get regularly changed. My Mrs, isnt bothered. I show her things to buy. She asks does she need it, I say not 100% yet so she says leave it then….. however I must admit. She is right at times. This Maxx was bought used. It was very cheap. Completely RTR with a 4S Lipo and Charger. Its got some amazing upgrades on, but its not mint condition. The diffs are noisy, the servo whines, theres excess play here and there. I took it out to “test” it. I end up doing some of my most hardcore bashing. I was gutted not to have it on video. I abused it hard. It took SERVERE hits. Id have definately got shouted at for using her RC like that. It got beat and bashed. It ended the day working fully. The transmission is louder than it was so somethings not right. But what an incredible rig. I dont think there is a truck on the market that wouldve took that if im honest… i need to use mine more Also used the UDR, ill update my thread with that…. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really hoping to get to this but it was the same day as the Rammstein concert. Hopefully they might do another one as from what I've seen it looked like a great event. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ag100 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Did a bit to the Procat, fitted a carbon shock mount (the stock was is thin plastic and is very flexible), fitted the front Anti Roll bar, had to make the rear one out of 1.6mm piano wire, have to solder the ball ends on to them to, just need to make up some links to connect to the suspension arms next. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty packs, marked red on the negative hole for some stupid reason makes me put the red wire into it. 11v backwards direct into the servo will do that. 😞 sigh Edited July 2, 2022 by Redback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 spotted some big vape batteries a few days back 26650 size, got the cogs ticking and now i have a 4200mah 2S 1P Li-ion pack, these can run down to 2.5v per cell so i should get pretty good run time, i was gonna do a 2S 2P 8400mah but figured it would be silly long lasting, and it would be a push to fit into most battery trays 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post leongordon234 Posted July 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2022 Have been tinkering with a few vehicles when the Mrs and baby are asleep 😴 which isn't very often 😂 First off I pulled my hpi savage xl out of its storage box and started to put it back together Bought some aftermarket parts years back and decided to finally fit them Integy arms and some shiny diff cups with a good scrub and re grease 💪 Need to pull the front end off next and strip the front diff down And also fit the original manual disc brake mechanism so it actually slows down as I don't have direct drive in the gearbox Re make the brushless motor mount and then should be ready to go again 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
