Popular Post Ant.p Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 Built my 2nd Hobao Hyper VSe using spares I had and a few new bits which have recently arrived. Just need to complete electrics and it’s good to go! 😁 I’ve got a Hobbywing combo EZRUN 4274 2200kv motor and max 8 esc in my other VSe. Does anyone have a cheaper option they can recommend for this. Would like to have 6s as an option on this one as well but not essential. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Fuzzock Posted May 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2021 Well the day started off with some fiddling. Had some steering turnbuckles to upgrade on the Hyper To The rest was just fiddling with some Velcro to secure the bodyshell a bit more: Then it was off to Bash! End result was fun: Two from shocks tops are knackered to go with one of the rear ones I did last week. 😛 Annoying thing is one of my brand new LiPo's gave up the ghost after about 20 seconds. RMA time.... The Hyper sounded like it was grinding itself to pieces, so going to strip the drivetrain apart this week. Pondering if it is the spider diffs making a lot of the noise, or just the motor?? Ian... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hell horn. Posted May 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2021 Got my lathe up and running after not using it for years. Making some titanium links for my sporty project going well so far. Cut to length. Trim it down to 3mm then tap to m3 for the upper links. M4 for the lower ones later 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The cost for the items to make parts is massively cheaper then the parts. Its the time and effort that goes in to making them that costs more. Like my lathe. Its my dad's old one. Was probably a good couple of grand when new. Plus the tap sets and parts. To recover my costs I'd have to make 100 sets just to cover the lathe. If I add £10 per set. Another £10 for my time. The money for the titanium to start with. Its easy a £50 cost to make them.then I have to make some more money to be able to make any more. . Its easy to see why parts are cost so much more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
