Dazmania Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 xD so what gearing are you using Dazmania mate ? 50T spur and for the speed run I was using a 18T pinion. Will be trying a 19t or 20t to get over 70mph on 5s Normal bashing though. a 15t is fine I will be going down to either 48t or 46t on the spur though at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 ok thanks. i just have a 45t spur gear atmo, and probably get something higher to play with. i also got a pair of purple springs for the back and put wut was on the rear on the front. might go test it out if the weather is decent enough.

Also check out the post for a losi cover my mate just made for me, it allow to run when others stay indoors and help keep those expensive electrics clean and safe Edited January 4, 2012 by Dazmania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) awesome will do XD Edited January 4, 2012 by cyronn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 A little update, I took it for some on road action and took some footage. There are three clips the first is on 4S with some cone action lol. They other two clips are on 6s, which made it interesting and resulting in a stripped spur gear xD.

Dazmania Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Looking quick mate, did you have the plastic spur? Took mine today to the NLB bash (video out soon) and it performed well doing single and double backflips with ease. Nothing broke today, well apart from I cracked my new shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ouch already lol you didn't have that shell long. Yea thats with the plastic spur, but as Matt N has said its probably the motor cradle that is causing it. Going to take it out when i replace the spur.

Dazmania Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 My brothers Losi (white one) stripped the 45 plastic spur too. I'm just waiting on my 48 and metal 45 to arrive now for some fierce speed runs. Should get about 75 on 5s I'm hoping with the right gearing and tyres! I'll keep you posted.

Dazmania Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 After owning my truggy since xmas day, I have just put an order in for new diffs and bearings for the front. It was bashed pretty damn hard on the weekend, so I can live with that from a 2nd hand car. Just hope the parts come in time for use this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 you know what diff oild are in at the moment mate ?. I am going to change my centre diff to 15k from 10k, when it arrives. Just replaced the stripped spur top yesterday, now I am just figuring how to mount the gopro camera. it will probably be something like this. but instead of attachin it to the wing mount i will probably attach the gopro mounting bracket to the shock tower, also make it sit a bit lower too.

Dazmania Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I could do with one of those cameras, but it wouldn't survive they way I throw my truggy around. Not sure what oil is in the front yet as haven't changed it yet, but I;ve got 30K in the centre which is preventing a lot of ballooning of the front wheels and 5K in the rear. Will probably go for 10k or 15K in the front though. My 48t spur has just arrived too so will change that over tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 My tbones arrived today and I had to pay customs but I think its because I also got a erevo set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmania Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Looking good, need to get myself a set of those. They've saved my hyper so many times. The rear one will help assist wheelies ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 I managed to damage my new rear tbone bumper eariler after going over a small lip =[ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazmania Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Run it till it breaks fully and then send them back under their life time guarantee. That's 3 that I have seen break in 7 days, don't thing they like the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 ah i didnt realize they had a life time guarantee, thanks for letting me know xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyronn Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I got some on board footage and used cable ties to mount the bracket to the rear shock tower. Not the best but it did work until the 2 of the cable ties broke lol. I also did run it with 6s and didnt strip the spur this time xD.

cyronn Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 So I played around with the ride height and adjusted the preload on the rear springs the other day. Tested it out today and it handled much better than it did. Here is some footage of it running today with some crashes, also at 2:40 into the clip I managed to land my first twist flip type of thing. Probably was just luck but still I landed it and the only one lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
