Popular Post wolfie1 Posted October 15, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2023 Ok some some pics as i said. Absima Storm got a new rear upgrade diff, front 1 fubared itself a few months ago and i ordered 2 upgraded diffs, Modelsport had 1 in stick which i fitted and the other arrived the other week there so thats now in, fan on the quantum flux as blades kept destroying themselves and i was having to replace the fan every few times i had it out, hopefully this 1 lasts! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post steephill Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 Started to get rid of the chrome from my Trx4m. I hate chrome. Soaking the plastic bumpers and grill in bleach and water. Takes a few days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alex97 Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 Built the injora Tarantula cage for the TRX4M and added their new 1.3" wheels and tires. Really nice little add on that totally transforms the truck. Only issue is that I now want 59mm shocks! The rear electric box is WIP, I should get a chance to work in the design next weekend. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted October 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 17, 2023 the Front axles for a Tamiya DT-02 arrived today, five minute job to fit to the Blitzer Beetle, the stock axles are wide but im not using Blitzer wheels and tyres so had a pair of 4mm spacers on each side, i think its better with the front narrowed by a total of 8mm 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shergar Posted October 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2023 Finally finished the Tamiya 1/10th TT01E chassis with a WRC Subaru shell. I built the chassis last year, painted it in the summer (the vents and back windows are actually heavy spray tint you can see through just about) and today whilst dying I finally stickered it all up. Fully functional RC but not likely to be used in anger - I have battered ones for that! (Besides the shell is far too low for the wheels to turn). Don’t look too close at the stickers, like I said I’m dying today! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Rain, rain and more rain so decided to thicken up the centre diff of the DR8. I did mean to do that before I first ran the car so this is only about 18 months late on getting it done, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex97 Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 Had a massive sort out of the RC draws, I'm trying to keep everything very lean otherwise I end up keeping a load of 💩 I also saw this on FB which made me chuckle! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alex97 Posted October 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Found these from last year, I never ended up using them however they do look great on the tarantula! I was never really happy with how the TPU printed however these were the best of a bad bunch. I did debate upgrading my printer however it's a good little machine that prints everything else with zeroish problems. On my eBay store I'm close to about £350 in sales from a £120 printer so it doesn't owe me anything!

I am after something but refuse to pay the same price for the bit as in postage from the usa, i would like a centre propshaft mount that holds 2 bearings for an xmaxx, is that something you could do?

It's not worth it me designing something from scratch. Here are a free model - https://www.printables.com/model/147572-x-maxx-basher-block-center-drive-shaft-support-blo I'd only charge for the printing time not the model as it's not my design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
