.AJ. Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Think I'll be lucky if she makes it to this years Jam, my electrics are on borrowed time as it xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'm running around 10 packs a week through at the mo. And considering a month ago my esc stop beeping and lost reverse. I used some pikey magic and somehow brought her back to life, I would say total failure isn't too far way now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 fair play mate, that is a good amount of runs each week so stuff will wear out. Good on pikey magic must source a new steering servo for mine before the Jam.....or I'll just crash through regardless as the SC re-build is an unexpected cost and frankly more important to sort out at the mo out of interest, would a Traxxas servo be ok as a temporary fix??

.AJ. Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yea I'm sure it will be fine as a stop gap solution, I'm guessing it's a 2025?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathanio Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Finally got to run mine proper at the weekend at the local BMX track and had a blast Was running the Nanotech 6600MAh batteries, 4600Kv motor and Badlands. It was a concrete and metal BMX track and I nose dived off the spine (I think thats what the local skids called it) from about 25ft in the air onto the front bumper. I thought it was mashed (and I'd been there about 8 minutes!) but picked her up and checked her over and nada! No cracks, no damage, nothing bent. This thing is strong! Plenty more cock ups after that from even greater heights and she survived it all! I do need to seal the center diff though as it has leaked it all out already...

Noj Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 hmmmm, might have to check my centre diff too, there's an awful amount of play in it...... actually drove mine for the first time in ages yesterday and came away hugely disappointed, which is odd as it is a great SC...

Gazzabruv105 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Where exactly are you getting the play noj? Is it really loose. Just ordered the futaba 4pl from mmrlargescale. Does anyone know what I could get for my dx3e with sr300rx. Would i get between Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 The centre diff will have cup wobble no matter what you do, HD out drives and the KHZ double bearing diff mount help a little, but it's impossible to get rid of completely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Managed to get out with the SCTE since all of the upgrades today and the speed is immense for just 2s. Currently running 35 wt oil in the front shocks and 30 wt in the rear. Diffs are running 5000 front and 3000 centre and rear. Only ran it on tarmac today but turning was a bit unsteady. Not sure if its all down to the tyres or whether its my shock and diff set up. Will have to see how she goes when I gat the chance to run her off road. Any advice on handling suggestions would be appreciated though. Gonna try her on different pinions and 3s at somepoint too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Your centre diff oil is a bit low, try maybe 5k or 7k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Cheers AJ. Will that help with the turning then. At the moment when I turn, I have to take almost all of the speed off, whereas when it was stock, I could corner quite fast as the rear wheels would slide quite nicely.

.AJ. Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Everything you need to know about diff oils, the base setting for the SCTE are 5/5/3 Front Thinner : increases steering into corners (off-power) if oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent, especially it can lose forward traction (and steering) during acceleration out of corners Thicker: increases stability into corners during braking increases steering on-power at corner exit ............................................................ ........................ Center Thinner: front wheels unload more during acceleration decreases on-power steering (reduces oversteer) easier to drive on rough tracks if a high-power engine is used you could waste too much power and sometime Edited August 28, 2012 by .AJ.

Gazzabruv105 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 AJ, cheers fella, that should be enough info for me to play around with when I get the chance. By the way, did your kingheadz parts come. Looking at the motor mount myself now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Ive got the motor mount already, im still waiting on the front diff mount which is in a Amains order i made over 2 weeks ago, so should be here soon Im also waiting on BCE Speed Chassis Tekno Centre shafts RPM Front bumper and rear skid A load of new stock plastic parts And the thing im most excited about is a new Losi High Performance SC Shell, the precut one with all the fiddly vents already cut out, ive checked the tracking and thats out for delivery today, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 The losi website says the holes need cutting. Found one on eBay that says it comes with the holes precut but even Amain states that the vent holes need cutting. Where are you getting the shell from AJ. I like the look of the proline tundra at the moment, but that high performance shell does look a bit Gucci. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) Mine arrived today and you are right that the vents dont come precut even though the site i bought it from come from said so, its being sent off to Ant Death Spiral for a proper paint job next week I got mine from Liquid RC and cost me Edited August 28, 2012 by .AJ.

Gazzabruv105 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Can't give the RPM bumper a rating for durability yet as I haven't abused it enough yet, but bearing in mind how strong their products normally are, I can't see it letting me down. Like the fact that I can add the light kit at a later date if I want. Are they the hardened lighter driveshafts AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wouldnt say lighter but they are alot more heavy duty than the stock ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzabruv105 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Very nice mate. I will replace with those when the stock start to show signs of wear. After seeing that KHZ motor mount you had, I just couldn't resist the buy button. I had $5 credit with Amain and less than a dollar for delivery. Changed the centre diff to 5000 wt as didn't have 7000 so will see what effect that will have on her turning. I also noticed that my ride height was way way too high. I reduced her down to 33 at the back and 30 at the front. Reckon that will help alot too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
