GRIFKILL Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 You two massive whoppers should get Pistons thread cleaned up It's his fault, he started it, I'm telling my mum on you (for the benefit of others, please don't take this seriously it's meant to be humorous). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderwolf Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I would not bother with HPI wheels, I would get silverback wheels. this, they are about the same price aswell, but they are 10 times better. It's his fault, he started it, I'm telling my mum on you (for the benefit of others, please don't take this seriously it's meant to be humorous). why not be alittle more mature and just drop it instead of clogging up the thread with borring and petty comments and jokes.

RCbutcher Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) The km looks great I would get one of them for sure but dont have any good bash grounds or bash buddies. I sold my fg because of that but I do miss it alot. If you want a good servo look up the xq s5040d for Edited August 10, 2013 by RCbutcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 thats a great deal, i'm going to get one when my pockets aren't empty. DO IT!!! You honestly won't regret it, i guarantee it mate. If anyone asks, blame Denton like a few others have Black windows and Killer Super Bee kill switch have arrived (changed from the Switchblade as i like having the extra security of the low voltage cut off and glitch protection as there's alot of interference in my neck of the woods) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Need to take a dremmel to the cage to lop the light pod mounts off and add a thin strip of foam to the mounting clips so i can mount the windows properly, but the shock cables, socks and new kill switch are fitted and working as they should 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 They stop the shocks over extending and damaging the seals by stopping the suspension a few mm from where the shocks would end their travel. When there's weight on the wheels it they should be slack but tight when the wheels are off the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoodoo Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Can't go wrong with the KM.I have had HPI and KM and I would rate the KM better value for money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistonhead Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) Right, second attempt at fitting the windows was successful :-) The light pod brakets were just snapped off quite easily as the welds were paper thin. Then i found the 'p' clips were a bit loose, so i mocked up their final position and marked them with some marker and wrapped some black leccy tape round the marks, then cut the tape where the clips rested so i had none on show. All fitted up and the windows now sit properly and don't move. Lateral thinking FTW Leccy tape in place and trimmed off.

atom3624 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 They look good. I couldn't understand why the side one was positioned 'high', but I see its to clear the fuel tank. Nice job mate. Al. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
