Yes, it still works perfectly, which is funny when many of my much more modern batteries have given up! This is what it goes in: 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided to restore it after foolishly painting it many years ago. Will start a new thread tomorrow documenting the work I've done so far and taking a close-up look at the buggy and all the period electronic equipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voorsk Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Epoxied the rear shock of my new Arrma Big Rock, which fell apart a whole 5 minutes into it's fairly gentle first run. Not impressed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locky Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Started and ran two nitro Savages that hadnt been used for about a year. One had a stuck carb so a reminder to use some after run oil in carb. Both went well after some tuning but old original tyres have started to split/crack on one.

JonnyUK Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Did a bit of maintenance on one of the TRX4s. It had a good run when we were on holiday in North Yorkshire. Cleaned, checked and re-greased both diffs. Greased inside of the axle bearings. Replaced a worn end on one of the rear rods. Checked pinion and spur. Flushed motor internals with GT85, oiled bushes. Cleaned and rebuilt the 4 leaking shocks, used 3x o-rings instead of the problematic Traxxas seals. (Did the same on the other TRX4 and not leaked since). Cleaned the sheep **** out of the tyre treads. Fixed broken wire on lighting. Job slowed due to being unable to remove a lot of the stainless screws. I fit a kit made by RCScrews ages ago and nothing but problems with them, very soft and round out too easy. They are fine when screwed into plastic but I have a lot of alloy parts and have to use threadlock. Now replaced with better quality stainless screws/bolts. Ready for it's next outing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted September 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2023 So. Took a fair few of them out: The E Revo was ballistic. Forgot how fast it was! The Maxx needs some ESC calibration but was faultless. Featuring a DJI drone, Im awaiting footage fro. The drone Then time for the GOATs. The XRT and the X Maxx Great day. No breakages. Other than me! My girlfriend accidently reversed into my leg with the X Maxx, knocked me over, Banged and cut my face on thr floor. At least that repair wont cost me any money. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
