Kpowell911 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) My Noble NB4 has a build in battery you can charge via USB. My lipo charger also has a USB Port so I just top my Transmitter up when charging my Lipo’s.

Truth be told I probably only use 5% of its capabilities, so its wasted on me as I just bash with it. I dont even understand half the menus haha. You Can get extra receievers for £30ish too. I love the fact its full aluminium bodied, It feels very premium, but it does get a bit scratched up when Im out bashing haha. I also love the fact it has an internal battery and a battery power bank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrCake Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 Started on the BHC-1 build. My first attempt a kit and have so far only put together 2 x rollers and done a few repairs on my Big Rock and Slash. Did something wrong with the diff initially but was fine when I did a rebuild. Shocks went together beautifully and I am pleased that I had a few handy little tools to make things smoother. C-clip tool is a bit fiddly but still stopped them pinging off and the shock pliers were amazing. Out of interest, how does LCRacing compare to other kits in clarity/accuracy? It feels fairly good so far although a section telling me to put an o-ring on the inside of a shock collar took me a few minutes of head scratching working out where exactly I was meant to put it. Shout out to @Alex97for answering my many questions from his own build. Went with 7000 CST in the diff like you suggested and it does feel nice. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad it helped mate, it's shame that the manufacturer isn't as vocal as others with product information. Their manuals aren't as good as the likes of associated, Schumacher or X-ray however for the BHC-1 they seemed to have uped their game. My shock pliers are great and are a must for all tool boxes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post totlxtc Posted February 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2023 (edited) I can vouch for the Xray manuals as being a doddle. I was returning to RC and a ton has changed but took to it like a duck to water. I like the way they break things into sections and each section has an intro to - You are working on the front suspension towers, this is all the bits you need, this is what it looks finished, onto step 1. Showing you different setup options and upgrades is nice too. I remember the Tamiya ones being a fiddle on the Astute and Madcap. Cant remember much of the Kyosho manual. Will add (as im a fanboy), Xrays service has been the best service i have ever experienced from and company in or out of RC. Incredibly helpful, will track stuff down for you, send you useful links and overall massive help.

BlackSeaRC Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Broke the AT4V! I'd been waiting all winter for some decent snow and last night some arrived so I got the AT4V out. 2 minutes in and the truck suddenly stops. I hear the motor spinning but no drive. First thoughts are that the pinion gear has come loose but removed the inspection cover and it seems fine. I suppose the slipper clutch nut could have loosened but that seems unlikely. It also could be a stripped gear but again that seems unlikely considering the light use to date. I guess I'll have to remove the gearbox and strip it down which will mean a lot of work as it is not easy to access... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you get on please 👍 Yes, feel a little robbed on how much these cost compared to the other 6S range but they feel so plush compared to stock. Did look at the alternate 6s options which fit/are close but got bored waiting for stock at Jennys. Gone for 2mm of spacers at the rear and 4mm at the front to make sure the drive shafts clear. Also had to do a minor trim at the rear of the bodyshell. Used the Axial bushings at the top of the shocks which feel perfect. Will hopefully give it a proper test at the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DannyP Posted February 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 17, 2023 Got the Rustler refreshed for my daughter. This will be her first Rc. Completely stripped, replaced all bearings, steering kingpins, one shock shaft, diff and gearbox rebuilt, brushed motor and ESC replaced. I did buy some other new parts but just shimmed the play out of the driveshafts and swapped them around so they wear the other side. I'll replace at a later date. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grogg Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Finally managed to find and buy most of the last remaining hop up parts that I want as well as some nice to haves, now all I need to do is work out what pinion and spur gears I want, unfortunately delivery won't be until mid March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to get her into it as she is happy to come to the track. My nephew is also nuts about anything car related and is desperate to come along to the track. Might see if i can grab a bargain i can rebuild for him to race with me as he is a good little driver.

Popular Post totlxtc Posted February 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Sick of my cars bounding around in the boot of the car on the way to the track due to the wonderful state of our roads and the love of speed bumps (plus the missus was sick of seeing them laying around the flat). So made a travel/storage box... The pair done. Edited February 18, 2023 by totlxtc 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grogg Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Started making my own masking templates for painting the body, I now have all the parts, tools, masking tape, masking sheets and tools to I need to do the body. I don't know whether I should just do the body first, instead of last, and wait until I have all of the upgrades I want and need to buy, and build it in the order the manual states. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever you do, make sure that the edges of the masking tape is firmly down. Run your fingernail along them to make sure its pressed firm. Spray light coats is best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
