Popular Post Alex97 Posted March 7, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2023 Fitted the injora brass links plus I replaced all of the bushings with bearings. I've still got one or two more items to arrive this week so I'm not fully putting everything back together, I've also replaced all the screws with cap head ones, I've read that the traxxas bolts are know for stripping. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James.S Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) @Stormbringer Thanks man It's starting to grow on me too. Still might order the V1 shell as well but so far i've only found it for £52 on Wheelspin models. Little bit pricey. EDIT: You can get a clear shell for £42 on Modelsport, so that's another option. I've not painted an RC body before so could give that a go 🙂 Edited March 8, 2023 by James.S 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not painted an RC body before so could give that a go 🙂 You’ll need to spend more than a tenner on paint so if you like the colour scheme of the £52 one that’s probably the cheaper option. But I’d go for painting your own shell. It can be very satisfying and makes your car that bit more individual. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’d go for painting your own shell. It can be very satisfying and makes your car that bit more individual. Yeah that's a good point mate, and I do like the original design of the pre-painted one. I have quite a few spray cans in the garage but it's possibly not suitable for RC shells, i'm not sure. Yeah that was basically my thinking too. Could have a look online for inspiration and go with a colour scheme that takes my fancy. Cheers Freddy 👍 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post totlxtc Posted March 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2023 Well you can all breathe a sigh of relief...this is the last of the XB4 work so you can finally not see it anymore (at least for a bit).

Bearings are old school, bushes are back in fashion again, and in a crawler it makes so much sense if you go near water, i have just built my new coyote 2.1 kit with oil bushes and the wifes coyote rtr is gettingthem on next rebuild 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rustic Ade Posted March 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2023 (edited) Back on with the Cobra... Fitted a new battery tray from an FTX model, the original one was just too tight for the new Nimh battery, guess the original Nicads were slightly smaller. Replaced the flex I'd used with proper silicon cable and replaced the iffy connectors with Wago connectors from the sparks at work (anyone else use these or am I doing something I shouldn't?) Put new shock oil in. Now waiting for servo tape. Once it is running going to address the speed issue. Now going to go and tinker with the Big Rock...prepare for more questions!
