Popular Post MrCake Posted March 9 Popular Post Share Posted March 9 Took the DR8 for a run on the wider hex adapters and Ali tyres. Tyres definitely felt more grippy than stock but frustratingly the offset is different so my +20mm total width on stock wheels turns into about +10mm on the Ali ones. Was a good run but lost a grub right at the end which lost rear drive. Cheap fix at least but I have lost track of how long it has been since I had a RC sessions with no breakages/issues. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 @Partydaz🤣 Well that's an idea in my head for later @MrCake DR8 ooks cool. I want to fpv one of my basher, probably 1/8. Tje DR8 body looks ideal for attaching fpv equipment. I looked online to try and get the DR8 body but it looks like I'd have to buy it in separate parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplyChunk Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Post winter shake down for @Skyesgaming's TT02 and DT03. Just half a pack through each to check they're all tickety boo. Also got a full pack through my Pirates 3. Considering to cost roughly half what a 6s typhon would cost. It's really holding up well. Still want to retire it and get a hobao truggy. But if it holds up well enough to the abuse this summer I may delay that another year. Also birthday present holding up great 😄😄 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wolfie1 Posted March 9 Popular Post Share Posted March 9 Since the weather has been amazing and it has been low tide at just the right time i took the opportunity to run my cars on the beach (i suck as i forgot to take any footage), yesterday i had the asuga out which got cut short on the second pack as i heard a tyre flapping, but luckily i also took the slash ultimate and run 3 packs through that too. Had so much fun i went back today with the xmaxx and run 4 sets of packs through it, which again was awesome fun 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll need a water clean this time though. So strip the lectics, clean those with my dry method. Then a nice warm bath for the chassis in the tub Edited March 10 by SimplyChunk 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partydaz Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Scoop the chucks out let it dry and the rest will fall off next time it's ripping about 😃. So glad it's getting closer to warmer weather when all we have to do is dust them off after a run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The view isn't great, you get a load of the roof in view and no tyres. It was nice and easy to screw it to the IR40 cage. It's going on the Capra next. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 Added some stickers. A very challenging sticket set for me, and its far far from perfect. But this is probably my favourite Touring car now. Proper Gran Turismo! Im looking at widening the stance somehow too. With my other NSXs. Few more to get With some R34s. The real versions of these wouldve had some great battles back in the day (and on 13 year old me’s Playstation!) Some other JDM goodness 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyC Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Broke more dog bone pins on 2 of the groms. Has to be almost a dozen now. Original plastic cvd’s and GPM ones. Anyone else having this problem with these groms? I love them but snapping pins every time I take them out is getting boring quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
