Was just saying it seems to have more detail than a lot of the others available. I've rendered my design on photoshop and can't wait to get masking!

ColinC1981 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Took the Merv out to see how the servo would hold up after I span the offending cog 180, also turned the TSM completely off, to see if that had anything to do with it. After 40 mins of playing on tarmac, grass and few jumps the car has ran perfectly, still got spares on order as I no doubt wil need them in future but I’m more than happy with how it runs right now. Once I start getting parts in I’ll start a build thread and update on everything I add, including my opinion on the parts used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Today I fitted the graphite chassis to the mini rs4. It's in amazing condition considering the state of the donor car it came from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skynet5 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I checked my rear and front diffs, looking good so didn't bother to replace the oil (unlike the center diff that was nice and grey when I did it last week, and also a little low). Also replaces the screws that hold the ring gear on. It was tough going screwing into the differential case composite, and the heads of the screws didn't fair well on the initial build. Nothing too bad, but I've swapped them over to new ones. I've kept the old ones to use on the receiver and servo box mounts, as they don't come off very often.

Tug Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Gave the X2 a run, then found the ZTW Beast has developed the same fault others have reported, full throttle as soon as you touch the trigger. 😥 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Attached 4 wheels to the speed car... I'm a long way off doing any speed runs however it's a good start. Edited July 5, 2020 by Alex97 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazkopat Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Applied a fuel tank mod for my Savage X. I just hope that it will work out well if not I’ll swap it for another non savage tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4v3 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Switched out the stock SS 20 WR servo in my Savage XS as it died, replaced it with a Hpi SS 40 WP that I had kicking around, metal gears, higher torque and waterproof. Seems alot more responsive than the stock one, result. Was going to go with a alloy horn but was to long, hit the centre driveshaft, so had to use the stock plastic one.

I thnik i need to replace my stock servo on my Savage X too, it seems to be lagging on the turns due to the wheel width. I was thinking of getting a bangood servo or maybe even a Savox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghazghul Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Finally got all the electrics to fit the WPL C14 (last job was a small battery wire extension so I can actually get the 2S connected without taking the whole thing apart. Now I have to strip it down and loctite / grease where appropriate and maybe re-paint the chassis rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Didn't test the ZTW Beast in the X2, but did blow the third tyre on the DBXL, one more to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ag100 Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Removed the stock aluminium steering Draglink and replaced with a new carbon one with bearings, this removes steering play (and it looks good in carbon!), replaced standard plastic spur with a Hot Racing Steel Sprur and replaced standard 4850kv motor with a new 6850 kv, also change the stock pinion to a Hot Racing steel one, changed all the wheel bearings to some new ones form RC Bearings uk and then refitted everything, hopefully all works tomorrow😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ag100 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Re-soldered the esc with 14awg cable and tidied up the install, there really is little room in these little buggy’s, but I think this is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodboo Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Swapped the full size servo for a low profile one and put some foams in and glued the tyres in the MF01x. The savox was overkill and quite slow, the low profile one is better suited to the chassis in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Cut more off the body I'm trying out. Decided I'd so a half red half light green job with some flame work on it. I'd love a full on hot rod job but I'm no where near good enough for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlC Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Converted an old servo to a winch and fitted it to the VS4-10. As the spool was quite large it was fouling the links but a quick 3D printed spacer sorted it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
