pgainey Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Thank you to everyone that helped answer my questions regarding the bumper and chassis replacement. The replacement all went really well and the Zorro bumper is much springier than the original carnage one! The final issues I had was the holes in the ally plate left the drive gear exposed so I covered in tape as I see many do from the pictures I have seen on this forum. Also as there are no mouldings to keep battery from sliding around I fitted rubber grommets to the posts to help secure battery from sliding about. I have one happy son again! Cheers me dears! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strugglecuddle7 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I was thinking of putting a EZRun max 10 3652 system in my 2wd slash but was told i wouldnt notice much difference from the robitronic system in it, shame tho as ive heard great things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s of interest I’m likely to have a EZRun max 10 3652 combo for sale soon as I’m going larger - it’s barely used but will be a little cheaper than retail 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmoz7610 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hi guys would this be ok to use in the brushless carnage? Stock receiver and run on 2s most the time but do occasionally use a 3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock receiver and run on 2s most the time but do occasionally use a 3s Will be fine - more than enough power in this servo to cope with the carnage. a few things though; take a look at your servo saver, as the large ‘e’ clip that sits at the top and compresses the spring is always falling off which makes the steering awful, regardless of what servo is powering it. The other issue I’ve had is when using 3s packs. The carnage is amazing fun with them, it’s just ridiculously fast. The problem is the truck can’t handle the additional strains and it WILL break something, especially if you haven’t upgraded certain parts. Hardened spur and pinion are a must for a start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewbacca Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I've got a Carnage and a Hooligan and once had a Quanum Vandal too and never lost an E clip. Am I just lucky or has quality slipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mixed bag - I’ve never lost an eclip before I upgraded the steering, but the alloy upgrade is well worth the money in every way and that stitches the eclip entirely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As most stuff is from China, there's a container shortage coz they are exporting like crazy but no-ones importing anything back so the containers are getting stuck in the destination countries and not being returned. That'll teach em for trying to take over the world, but sucks for us 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimto2000 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Finally getting my RC's out again!! Looking at both my boys RC cars...half the NiMh batteries are losing the charge really quickly. So I'm tempted to upgrade them to Lipo. So while I'm at it, thought I might as well upgrade them to brushless! Has anyone got this combo.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353369985436 It seems a good price. The cars will probably get used about 45 mins to an hour twice a month if I'm lucky! Also, don't want anything that will shred the carnages! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I think the goolrc's can be hit and miss quality wise but i had the same combo (but hobbywing at nearly 3x the price) and it was great on 2S, will be more than fast enough for a kid, get ready to buy some spares 😁 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
