Popular Post Redback Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 Not my models, but for a mate, fixing up some broken / old trucks. Old nitro 4wd, kyosho maybe something else, bent chassis back to shape and a deep clean, the front ends ruined and needs some way to re attach to the chassis. Next up was fixing the top plate that had snapped , used the bottom of the old battery box to bodge it. Biggest issue was the screw holes for the diff housings are shattered with only one good screw holding down the front was a tricky thing to fix. Solution a fabricate a plate that holds the diff down via the hinge pin bar, clips over and affixed to the chassis also strenthening the front end. As the old battery / reciver box was deleted, made a top rear brace for esc / batteries. Final thing was convert it to electric. Popped a spare motor mount to the chassis and max 8 esc flat 4s battery and 2400kv motor for a quick test. Next up is this 1/10 kyosho 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex97 Posted February 29 Popular Post Share Posted February 29 I'm not OCD or anything but... Printing this to drop straight in (including the radius at the bottom) is very satisfying! I could of done an extra top layer to make it slightly cleaner. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Nothing major, but I added a second shelf to me “large scale” shelf/bench. I added this space POTENTIALLY for the addition of the new Traxxas Maxx Slash, but Im not too sure now after seeing the UK RRP, regardless I now have more space even if I dont buy the Maxx Slash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlo888 Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 (edited) What should have been a simply axle replacement ended up, taking front assembly off to check diff, then changed other side hub, seem to somehow be missing a flange pipe for right hub, then changed the servo as not turning fully. that’s all my spares taken….hope I don’t break it, I am just going to try on road first when weather is better. then realised that turning can be changed not just by trim but with the steering dual rate…. I am so a noob😂😂😂 Edited March 1 by karlo888 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 So I stayed up well into the early hours this morning to get this finished. Must admit I was very impressed with the MCI Decals Theres some gaps appearing as Ive spaced them a bit better. Theres also something else on the way going next to the Supra 😉 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlo888 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Took bullet out in garden for a little run, love it. Somehow feels better driving this around than my savage but only on patio. maybe a different tune when I start taking them off road, then maybe build a ramp for small jumps,. hopefully will handle these terrains and small jumps without breaking. would you say shock oil between 30wt to 40wt?

steephill Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 (edited) Done some more to my scx10 hard body build. Have been waiting for a few parts. Had to use a stock axial scx10 chassis as the carbon chassis had the front end shortened, so there was not enough room to fit a 540 size motor. The small brushless outrunner fits but I'm more than likely use this as a trail truck and drown it and cover it with mud. I don't think the rhino esc isn't waterproof. Probably going to use a 550 brushed motor and a 1080. I've drowned that setup loads and it doesn't care. The injora forward gearbox driveshaft to the transfer box was too short, I contacted them about this, and they said it was because I didn't use an injora chassis. I thought they were a straight copy of the axial chassis. So I had to buy another driveshaft for that. Still need to do a few more bits. I don't like the gap between the body and front bumper, so that's getting sorted one way or another. Side plate thingys might get swapped for some steel rock sliders. And probably a good few scale accessories. Edited March 5 by steephill 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) I bought a Blue Painted R34 Z Tune shell so we played Body/Wheel Merry Go Round First of all. Correct wheels onto the Repsol Cosworth I moved the Evo 7 WRC and Rally Wheels to the TA02 I bought just for the wheels above I then put my new Z Tune R34 Body and some 2 Piece Tamiya Wheels on my SRX. The wheels rub on the TT02SRX, but its a shelfer so not the end of the world Blue is just so much better than box art! I may have a plan for the clear wing......
