Brandon Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 No I haven't tried the vaterra springs yet, I was just test running the new shocks and they are good, I just need to make them a little softer as the the back end tends to bounce a bit. But yeah they are great! Thanks for letting me know about them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebeaver Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Heard good things about these if you jut want them for bashing aroundhttp://www.modelsport.co.uk/dynamite-traxxas-slash-4x4-front-and-rear-mounted-speedtreads-shootout-sct-tyres-2-/rc-car-products/376735 Might sound dumb this, If you ordered these how many wheels would you expect 2 or 4?

icebeaver Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Yeah that's the way I took it, just got 4 posted. My Mrs says it says 2 pairs? I don't know. Edited February 13, 2015 by icebeaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Ah ok. Yea they're stiffer have you tried fitting the springs from the old shocks onto them? You can get softer springs for the HPI shocks I they don't fit but I think the harder shocks are better if your doing massive jumps as it will stop it from bottoming out. All done and cut and fitted perfect! Thanks mate Edited February 15, 2015 by Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I emailed modelsport and asked them if this http://www.modelsport.co.uk/castle-max-pro-sct-esc-2400kv-motor/rc-car-products/39947 would fit in the glamis and they said quote 'I can confirm this would fit in the Glamis. You could use stock gearing however due to the lower KV and increased torque over stock you may want to increase the gearing to gain more top speed.' So I am thinking of this motor.

burgerboy78 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is what I've put in mine. It's lower kv so won't spin as fast but has more torque so you can gear it higher. I've changed mine to 32dp gears and run a 18/58 gear ratio. It's not as quick as the original but my original motor got really got due to the friction from rubbing it in the sand. With the stock 48dp gears you could make it a lot faster. However the more torque may strip the spur quicker. I've done something to my gearbox as it's making a horrible noise I just havnt had the time to take it out and strip it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Oh awesome! Do you have to make the mod with the gear set up to allow you to change the gearing? Or is it best to do so as you have done? Shouldn't it go faster than the original motor if you gear it correctly? I'm not sure so not quote me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know what part this is? I broke it but can't find the part to replace Sent from my iPhone 7 using Tapatalk Edited March 7, 2015 by Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burgerboy78 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 is it the rear wheel? if so its the rear camber mount. Order the aluminium one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Yeah the rear! snapped it right off! Thanks mate I'll get one ordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Anyone of you guys upgraded t a different servo? One that is so much quicker? Just want some ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1ks Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I own a glamis uno and have joined this forums today. Anyone made modification to the front bumper? I came across this on ebay today...looks interesting.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121658850387?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Well that's a first that I have seen! Never seen the t-bone on a glamis before! I've never had any issues with the stock bumper as of yet but I like to stick with the scale look. I've upgraded the rear shock to a set of Hpi ones and a few aluminium parts where the previous plastic parts kept breaking, but other than that, it is all stock Edited June 23, 2015 by Brandon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyra Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 (edited) I've had one of these a few weeks now, I really like it I have to say. It has some weak points sure, but most RTRs do, don't they? I did some mods to toughen it up, I'll get some pics up when I have time - Robinson 32dp Halix steel spur, fits with no mods whatsoever if you recycle the stock plate and graphite pad. - HPI branded Castle 4-pole 4000kv motor. - Losi 8B shocks, with slightly shortened travel. stock shock shafts are very weak. - RPM Blitz front bumper. holes need reamed slightly to make it fit, much cheaper and less unsightly than the T-bone IMO. - 2.2/3.0 SCT tyres fit the stock front beadlocks so have some Proline gladiators on the rear for off-road. Only other thing I would get is the alloy rear camber mount, but I haven't broken the stock one yet Edited August 13, 2015 by Rossyra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Nice write up! I will defiantly follow some of these up! The alloy camber mount is a must once you brake the stock one as I did a while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyra Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Here's the Robinson Halix steel spur, the pack comes with the hardened 5mm pinion and adapter sleeve The RPM firestorm bumper, costs about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-z-awd Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 i`ve seen rossyra`s in action and its a tough wee bugger with the things he does with it and that front bumper really helps with bad landings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossyra Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yes mate, it comes with a plate, pad, bearing and spring you don't need but the gear goes straight on, no mods, and fits in the case. You just need to use your stock plate, spring and, one of the stock pads as I said. I used 2 of the 4 cone washers that come in the pack too.

Brandon Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Ok awesome! Are you able to fit a bigger motor into it? Say something like the castle 2650kv or something like that? Just in general something bigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossyra Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 You won't get a 40mm motor in there unfortunately, 36mm is the limit really, plus I would think if up you planned on a 2650kv you would want 4s running at least, which is a big ask for that battery compartment. --- About the tyres, the stock rims are okay with some tyres but not others. I had a set of HPI trepadors on at the weekend which were thrown 5 minutes in on 2s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ahh sucks! A couple people on here have the 2400kv motor but had to do the slipper clutch mod. Battery compartment is very limiting! I have the 4000mah nano tech 3s which a lot of folks use. As for tyres, I have the traxxas speedtreads which fit perfectly! And have plenty of tread left after heavy bashing!

burgerboy78 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) The original rear tyres are good I think. I used the proline sling shot sand paddles and I glued them as the original bead locks are pants. But they're 2.2 so you can find lots of other 2.2 bead locks wheels available that all sorts of tyres go on. I've since given up on this as the diff bearing seized. Causing the diff half shell to wear, the fear casing to wear and strip two of the cogs in the gearbox. It's a shame because I've never given up on it and it's a blast to drive, and I think it's one of the best looking rc cars or there. I've put the motor in a HPI Apache C1 as I like the desert/sand buggy style cars. Shame this is a 4wd and 17mm axles mean you can't get wheels that will look like they're meant for the car.
