Dazmania Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Was good fun I will make it over the trees, will make or get a ramp! Damn, I want to have a go at that, looks like fun. How are the tyres holding up on the Proline wheels? I have the XTM's on the standard Losi wheels and constantly having to re-glue them. Word of advice though, don't run them on tarmac however tempted you may be, gosh they wear fast. New set of tyres and wheels to be ordered this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New set of tyres and wheels to be ordered this week I have put 6 LiPo's through the 8ight with the new rubber and no signs of the tyres coming off yet. Grinders are a perfect fit on the VTR's. Be sure to key the wheels and tyres before glueing The Grinders are rather soft and with BL power I can imagine they would turn to slicks in no time on tarmac. When these wear out I will get another set. Great combo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 That looks mental! Watch the ESC and motor temps as the bigger wheels will gear the FDR up Not sure what to do about a new ESC if I can't get an exchange Get another MMM or something different?

Thanks for the link bud I will definitely consider getting one of those, can't grumble at that price. Is there a program card or software for those ESC's?

DannyP Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Cool thanks Uk sellers FTW! This ESC would work fine with my Castle motor right? Hopefully I can get another MMM but I may get a EzRun as a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Is the XeRun the blue ESC? Im not keen on the blue Riverside? Do you mean Woodmill? Yeah I was down there Friday evening, went for a walk along the river and took the 8ight with me. Had a good blast over the pitch and putt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 Yeah we were sat on the bench, you ever taken any of your R/c's down there? Beauty of leccy, you can take it anywhere and no one complains Been looking at ESC's. Liking the Tekin RX8 Its says it a 210a ESC or have I read it wrong? My LiPo's are only good for 200a so if I got one would I need new ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 link danny plz for the ezrun I just bought what Dom linked on the previous page bud i would get an Xerun tbh but thats me http://www.ebay.co.u...=item3f0415ed5a 8 days for it to arrive. edit: what happened to ur esc Danny ? Why would you choose the XeRun over the EzRun? I don't like the blue on the XeRun I know im a fussy Dom said the seller I bought the EzRun from arrives in under a week I have no idea what happened? It just stopped working Didn't even smoke or catch fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom C Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I have both the XERUN and EZRUN version, In a buggy i would go for the xeurn less space taken up and can run sensored (have these in my hyper and losi) The ezrun is a lot bigger and does not run sensored however in a truggy space isn't an issue and the way i see it is bigger so should have better cooling etc. You can get both from rcmodelnet everything i've bought from him (5+ orders) have came in less than a week.

DannyP Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share Posted April 1, 2012 I didn't even think to check the dimensions Just looked and compared it to the MMM, damn its huge!! Lucky space isn't an issue for me...... Although it will over hang the ESC mount quite a bit... I will be chuffed if it comes by the end of the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
