Candyman Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) Ordered from lokhobbies on ebay, bought it on the 18th evening and arrived 27th. They always come through a lot quicker when customs dont stop them. Edited June 28, 2012 by Candyman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smash Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 tbh i ran them for a for about 3 tanks before i sold it. they were shod with hpi v grooves, they do add a very decent amount of offset but i wouldnt bank on them holding up to repeated jumps etc.. but saying that its merely supposition on my part as i ran them on road.. be a shame to glue some expensive rubber to them only to have a hub rip out on you..

.AJ. Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 If it wasnt Wheelspin i would give them a go, think i'll send Modelsport a email and see if they can get them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smash Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Got mine from ws, was a while back mind you, reckon they are prob a discontinued line now.. Ring ws they may have a full set in stock when I ordered mine they only had one pair but the full set turned up within a week.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Im going get a set of these to replace the crappy steering links http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Traxxas-Linkage-Steering-3x30mm-Turnbuckle-2-Revo-2008-TRA5341X-/180904122277?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2a1eb9d7a5#ht_2384wt_965 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Wow nice jump and AJ they were the first mod i did to mine.Cheap as chips and way better that the stock turnbuckles . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smash Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) Nice pic Leon I went down the skate park today with mine, surprisingly easy to back flip this truck and stick the landing isn't it, Same as you though I pretty much shredded my turnigy pack, the cases seem to be very brittle, I'm gonna hit the town later and see if I can get some thin sheet foam off of the market here.. Deffo need an accomplice to take along with me next time as well to grab some footage.. on a side note the Titus beadlocks I got aren't up to the job for bashing imho two of the four popped the tyres off the rims today so I'm ordering another set of 3091 dishes for my dirt hawgs, the tyres themselves have been great so far..

.AJ. Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Finally got her dirty I'm very impressed, I did start to have doubts about the 4700kv motor, but after running hard for 6-8mins temps were motor 45, esc 55, so they are spot on, I would say she was easily doing low 40s, stock tyres are a bit pants, but I'm planning on getting a set of gladiator's next week anyway Edited July 3, 2012 by .AJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howie87 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 looking good. im a bit torn between this and a mini 8ight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Think it comes down what you wanna do with it, a XS will take a shed load more a abuse that a mini 8, the 8 was built to be a racer at the end of the day and the XS is an all out basher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
