The Italian job Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Ads you can see the receiver is mounted away from the area. Could it be the metal framework I have made for the body posts? .I haven't had this problem with any of the 8 tamiya m03s I have got.

The Italian job Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Also why 3 wires from 101bk escape, two for motor what is the orange for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myv8growler Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I had some awful problems with older 27 and 40 mhz radio gear. This included a falling to stop midnight pumpkin that hit a concrete pillar at full speed snapping all body mounts and the front bumper. Swapped the radio gear for 2.4ghz transmitter and receiver and all is great. Awesome range, rechargeable too so no need for loads of AA batteries.

myv8growler Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I think the orange write is when using a brushless motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonysmini Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If you've got a small radio, tune it to 612 medium wave and walk to the end of your garden and listen for excess noise, I do this when looking for interference effecting phones and wi-fi (I'm an Openreach engineer). I've found it works finding dead spots for old 27mhz radios too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattf77 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 love the grave digger, how did you do the graphics are they home printed decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Italian job Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Downloaded from Google. Then measured up the size and printed on copy paper. Offered up to shell to work out where the wheel arches are, then printed on photo paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Italian job Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Might have to widen the wheel arches as I have noticed they are rubbing slightly, or lift the body up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonstephenson100 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Replaced the spotlamps on the front of mine, used one of the RC4WD kits - really nice quality (all metal construction). I fabricated some stainless brackets to connect it to the stock front bumper, using a circular geometry to try and spread any potential impact load! The lamp unit is very bright, but needs 7.4v. I am using the BEC to feed them (5v), so I had to use a step-up power brick to provide the 7.4v. Works well in the end though! . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave2166 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 whats with the front anti roll bar?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonstephenson100 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 The anti roll bar was added to make it more stable at speed. Mine has both front and rear anti roll bars, built from customised Tamiya parts taken from other kits. See my previous post on p28 of this thread when I had just fitted them for more details...

Mansnake Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Hi, I have just become the owner of a lunchbox! I brought it off my brother-in-law who hardly used it. It's running just stock parts at the mo but is there any mods upgrades you would recommend? I am a complete beginner so thought i would seek your wisdom! Thanks Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansnake Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 *BUMP* Also what sites to you guys use for your mods, new motors etc...? Thanks Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi, happy new lunchbox! In my opinion the lunch box needs a couple of things. First off some alloy body mounts, you can buy these for about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansnake Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks oodboo. Some good info, I will check out all the links you have supplied and update when i start mod's! I got the lunchbox as something to do with my son over the park. He's mad about emergency vehicles so I'm going to do a police paint job on it and fit some LED's. I work with semiconductors and electronics so I can do all that at work. Will post up some pictures when I get mods/paint job under way!
