What did you do to your model today?

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

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.

LMT as in the gravedigger style monster trucks? Those things look awesome!

Fitted some front light buckets to the little beetle shell (killer bodies light buckets), need to make up some lights now. Also tried some different wheels on it.

Yes, I ordered some 3d printed ones from eBay, they don’t fit any of my wheels, and they aren’t the best either, have the stickers ready to go on them, will keep looking.

How are you managing to drive it with those back tires? Β πŸ˜‚

The one on the back left looks like it’s down to the rim.Β

One came apart, but otherwise worn tyres are the best thing for tarmac, slicks! I run them until I see foam, have a set of betas that have had 6s through them for a year still going...

We’ve been baby sitting my girlfriends Nephew recently so decided to take him out with the trucks. He chose the Defender so we decided to go for a walk around Daventry Resevoir. Just over two miles and 1 hour 40 mins and the Gens Ace 3S 5000mah lipo was still going.Β

Thomas has quite a lot of diagnosed health issues, and can be petrified of the outdoors/weather/dark/forests but after a bit of an introduction to how throttle works, and got used to sensitive steering he was thoroughly

entertained and visibily improved his control over the hour and 40 we were out. Was quite emotional to see him actually stick at something in a β€œscary” environment.Β
