I shall be ordering one today - noticed at the weekend the Turbo shell got a crack when it was stood on Nothing major but it'll propagate - I shall ream a small hole at the end of it then reinforce from the inside with gorilla tape and see hoe it goes. If anyone comes across an un-cut Phat Turbo shell please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deafty Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) EDIT 2:// The linked pinions are for 2mm (and a bit) motor shafts. EMB is aprox 3.17mm. I am currently asking the source for more info. +++++ Need a pinion? Well theres now a new source for a great range or tooth counts HERE from Germany ranging from 12t to 24t Z stands for zahne which means teeth fyi Bookmark it now pleaseas I doubt I CBA'd linking it every month Edit:// Not sure if over 21t will even fit on stock mount/spur but worth a try maybe?

Droopy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 But is the shaft not 3.17mm on the emb-1? These are for 2mm shafts[emoji849] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deafty Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yeah you are completely correct. I took this info from from a german site stating they had fitted em to the emb! I'll be asking whats going on. I apologise. Though I'll be boring one out to fit if thats whats needs to be done for a 20t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 On the subject of wings i use an ofna high downforce 1/12 wing, now i have no idea on how good it would be for racing at all but i can tell you it is very very strong.

Si That looks like a 1/8 plastic (abs?) wing? I'd imagine it's unbreakable! I'd think the weight might throw her off jumping though? With 1:10 lexan wings mine wants to point it's nose up, purely through drag, trimming the back down more aggressively sorted that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 That wing is originally off a HN CRT.5 it's just a scale down 1/8 wing in material and style, I ran one on a Hyper TT and it was bombproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My little emb is pretty much spot on at the moment - foams and a 1:10 wing cut down and she sticks to the track very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not used one for racing but it may be an option. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 If you get them from wheelspin on shadow stock they are pretty good, i have ordered other parts listed as shadow stock and they arrived surprisingly fast, give lc racing a quick message they should sort some for you.

Deafty Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 yeah good idea. My local has gone quite as another lc reseller in germany is pushing really hard to be top dog but he doesn't really know what he's selling I'm in no rush really it's for this summers truggy bashin anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Apex models have stock. What size is the stock truggy pinion?

RCbutcher Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I like the lc monster truck. I'm planning to buy one for skate park bashing so I will need tbone bumpers and any strength mods. I'll shoe goo the bodies as i usually do. Asiatees has the brushed rally for £70 rtr. But the spec of the bl looks so much better I would rather the bl chassis. £180 for the lc monster is the best price on ebay from Rcmart so is Surley a good price but could I do it cheaper? Like buying the brushless rally then fitting the monster shell and wheels. The truggy is £155 on ebay but ide rather the monster if that's the best price. Buying a bl spec roller would be very appealing too. Then I would use hobbywing Leppard elecs. Does all versions use the same size arms so swapping wheels, shell and gearing is all that's needed to convert. I would be intrested in having the rally and monster option mainly. Once im driving I'm going to look at racing all my rcs too. Edited January 22, 2016 by RCbutcher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) The mt has the short chassis same as the buggy, the rally is longer chassis same as sct and truggy, all other parts apart from the longer middle drive shaft and top brace for the longer chassis are the same.
