jtheg Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Some new updates to me ion: Shocks now refitted and full of oil 45wt oil, rebuild kit used to seal up the shocks. Also managed to get some rc18t truck wheels and tires on there. Was a bit of a challenge as they use drive pins. used mini t steel dogbones and stub axles and some 8mm od 7mm id brass pipe as a spacer and all works like a charm!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigZee87 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Hi, just noticed on this you have a lipo on the standard motor. Is this ok to run thwm on the stock set up as I wanna run them on mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtheg Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) Nah I never run the standard motor with the lipo the picture was just to show the lipo fitting. I doubt the esc could take it and probably has no low voltage cutoff.... Edited March 28, 2013 by jtheg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shuff Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Also got to replace the centre driveshaft, as a bloody stone wedged between the motor and shaft causing it to slice through and create two wheel drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
