Zoea Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) my first report in this forum thread Took out by Associated RC10B4 for bashing. In the local park, found a nice mix of dirt/grass/tarmac/verges in an oval. Ran two IP 6000 packs (80c and 90c) through it, with a speed passion's Revention R 8.5t combo. Had a complete blast, got a little dizzy turning in an oval, and a good 45 mins bashing from the two packs. In an oval, with the tyres free wheeling 1/2 the time due to the low grip, I managed to produce some nice motor heat. Stopped to let it cool a couple of times. Can't wait to do it again, or with my bro, some of the most fun I've had in RC. I'll give the original B4 this; it sure does land and turn on one front wheel impressively. Around 6 forward flips or even sideways flips, 5 to a drivable orientation Edited March 24, 2015 by Zoea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Gave BLBB a good brushing down (much needed) and clean. Slackened off the ball diff screw and dribbled some blue thread lock on to the threads and then tightened the screw back up. Will wait till tomorrow and give him a test. While the rear end was flopping about I found that the left wheel bearings had seized so made a start at freeing them up. When this failed I hunted out my spares box knowing I had various bearings in it, luckily I had 4 spare bearings left over from when I originally did the conversion. Soooo, when I get BLBB rolling again he'll be rolling free. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Got the Zen G320 fitted in the DBXL So that's what it was going in? Anyhoo, today I fitted weights to the new wheels I'd had sitting around for the D90, which now has a slightly longer wheelbase: ....................................which doesn't show in these pics as they were taken prior to the mod lol Edited March 26, 2015 by chewbacca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Ragged the Badger, so far the strip down and degrease of the external diff surfaces, clean up of the adjustment thread and subsequent application of brute force and threadlock seems to have cured the diff slip problems it was experiencing. Mucho relief as I had thought it would never run properly with the brushless combo. Gave the D90 a run out in the garden, the weighted wheels have made a significant difference to its stability 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Spanked the Blitz, first time off-road, was fantastic! Struggled to keep the nose down! The Badlands have so much bite! Too much understeer, but not enough to be a pain. Rear is quite well planted. Parachute effect is a nightmare, but that's SC shells for ya. I'll either cut holes in this one or get a flotek of some kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoea Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) Went for a half an hour bus ride with two full lipo to a local large park. Journey was a hit ! Found out that short grass is the preferred surface for my b4's tyres in terms of raw accel and speed. Even better than gravelled (yellow) paths or under-a-tree-leafy-dirt. It did amazingly well on the leafy dirt surface though, two plumes of leaves and soil behind each rear wheel, great fun to watch and run on also great fun to do a few circuits on and off it. Doing my best to keep the noise away from local property windows and mind the daffodils. Had a good time, aching for the jumps of a smallish local BMX area though! The surface (packed gravel or a little bigger + grass) is amazing and the model loves a jump or 30 each run.
