BigGinge Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Nothing too exciting but I finally got round to (hopefully) fixing a leaky shock on the EMB-T. Think it was probably caused by the black caps, from some cheap AliExpress copies, I swapped into the stock shocks not being quite the same size as the originals.Β Β Β 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Gave the LMT its first run and absolutely destroyed the body with road rash but what a blast. Couple of things though I definitely think that they will be even more fun with other LMTs with some dedicated jumps and I kind of wish I went 2s instead of 3s as I barely got past half throttle, only reason I went 3s is there really wasn't much of a price difference between the battery's I was looking at.Β Oh and speaking of the throttle I think it has quite a weird throttle curve luckily I still have my spektrum program card so I will have a look at the esc settings at some point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
