mfp Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Been in engineering does have its advantages, ive made lots of Ali upgrades that will never brake. It makes you realize how rubbish standard parts are. i should start a thread , what did you make for your RC today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catalin4u24 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 How to stop losing body pins? Anybody got a nice tip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangerman69 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 tie them on the body with a bit of fishing line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Hmm , not bad. But first I need to purchase some , I'm loosing them pins all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wangerman69 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I always used to lose the front pins every run now never lost one as the fishing line keeps em safe if they pop out Its a shame to buy so much but 300m can be had for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jari Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I use green garden wire .. the thick sort with green plastic outer wrapped round steel core. It keeps its shape... and can be any length you want, and gets used in the garden anyway. Has the benefit if being dirt cheap in the quantity used for RC. Cut off a 15 cm section and loop through both from body mounts... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I dong understand how you are losing them? are you misplacing them or are they being lost during runs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jari Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I dong understand how you are losing them? are you misplacing them or are they being lost during runs? I think they are like biros... i.e. you don't actually "own" body clips and biros. and you are never quite sure where they all came from, or where your favourite one went. You just look after them for the next person. Same with body clips. keep buying them, no idea where they have all disappeared too. and lose them very easily out in the field.

Vr5fx Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Does anyone have a decent shock setup? I tried the standard ST, but they are far too soft even with 90wt The Pro setup is constantly slapping the ground with full preload, and I burst one.

catalin4u24 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm using the hyper SS shocks on mine, really nice and smooth but them springs are a bit on the soft side and I can't find harder springs, I have 40wt front and 50wt rear Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAZ Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I'm using hobao 20mm big bores with 85wt oil, I had some team c brushless springs that I changed for some unknown white ones that are stiffer - I'll try and find some on ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My servo was acting kinda strange lately so I thought I should try an rx capacitor. It is all good now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catalin4u24 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Where can I get spider diffs or do I not need them? Ebay, you need them only if you want to or upgrade when one is gone. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzaClio Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Where can I get spider diffs or do I not need them? I've had both and never had a problem with either. I wouldn't bother replacing the standard one unless its broke. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCMonkee Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I dont think its worth getting them over the standard for the price unless you are seriously into racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick1979 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Its just when your running brushless and at a bash you tend to break stuff easier than when racing. They would make it bomb proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick1979 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I now have spare std ones so we'll see how it goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I'll be joining the club in a few days. Took a chance on an ST on ebay, looked ok in the one blurry pic but I will soon find out. 47 quid including postage. :-D Im not sure if it will stay nitro or I will turn it brushless. If the engine is any good I will get some use out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
