ostewart Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) Made a little figure 8 track at a local park, my phone can't capture it all but I made a couple of little jumps too, it's very loose wood chips/dirt so am getting some badlands for the rear and going to put my trenchers on the front.

ostewart Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Now got badlands on the rear, trenchers up front. Grips awesome on loose dirt/gravel. Also fitted all lunsford titanium turnbuckles with traxxas captured rod ends on. Bulletproof hopefully. I'm trying to not do too many bad landings and break anything. Alturn servo seems fine too. Got a bluebird backup if I need it. Edited October 22, 2014 by ostewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ive been thinkin of trying badlands on the back. Look perfect for the loose sandy rocky track I use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I'll post pics if you like. When I got them in the post today I thought they looked awesome for loose terrain, and they sure are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostewart Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) Here you go: (got my shock sox today) Been very unlucky with HPI motors, 2 flux motors with dodgy bearings. so I went ahead and ordered a Castle 1410. Can't wait for it to arrive. Edited October 23, 2014 by ostewart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for it to arrive. I'm sure the hpi motors are made by castle. Look at the tenshock motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Yeah they are made by castle. Might try to rebuild it at some point if I can be bothered. To be honest I am hoping the 1410 has more torque. The flux vektor is fast though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ostewart Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 heres mine with it's new body, proline evo SC. Cheapo wheels as I'm still waiting for my 17mm hex conversion kit. Using the Castle 1410, geared 24/84 still running very cool, with very good speed. Up to 26/81 it is then excuse the phone pics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 This hobby is bad for me... Just ordered STRC alum front and rear shock towers, and camber plate, also ESE front a-arms, and RPM rear a-arms (didn't go for RPM front as I have the aluminium bulkhead) I went for the alum shock towers, as they are very flexible and can see this affecting handling, it is good for impact absorption but I would rather the stiffer ones. Going gun metal colour like my steering rack. On another note, does anyone still run stock slipper? as I have a Calandra setup on its way, but forgot I cannot use it with the AE spurs and slipper pads I use on the E-Firestorm topshaft. So the Calandra kit will be up for sale for a modest price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) I still have the stock slipper, not seen the need for an upgrade but then i suppose im still on the stock motor and gearing.

ostewart Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 PM me if you're interested in the CRC slipper kit, I'll throw in 2 x 77t spurs, 1 x 88t spur and spare slipper pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex97 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 PM me if you're interested in the CRC slipper kit, I'll throw in 2 x 77t spurs, 1 x 88t spur and spare slipper pads. Is it the associated dual slipper that your planning to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Nope. I run an e-firestorm slipper setup with ae pads and spur. I was going to use the plates from the CRC but they wont work with the spurs i use. This is what i'll be selling: http://www.teamcrc.com/crc/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeybadger Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Been stripping my Blitz apart today to clean it properly but ive found it needs a few bits, bearings and all four of the drive cup things on the back. Been thinking about selling a couple of my cars so i can get something else anyway so might do it while it will be all serviced and clean.... or ill get the MIP CVD's and the rear RPM bits to match the front, the Blitz is a fun truck.

Alex97 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 OK, I have a slipper set from my b5m that I no longer use and thought it might have been what you are looking to get. Not to worrys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ostewart Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Rember that the MIP CVD's will only work with the ball diff as they are slightly longer than normal. STRC will work with normal gear diff. I'm still unsure whether to change the hubs to rpm or not. I'll leave them stock for now though.

Honeybadger Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I didn't realise that, thanks for letting me know. I only changed the front hubs to RPM as i broke one but i like the fact the bearings are bigger and was thinking it might be worth upgrading the rear end while its apart.
