.AJ. Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks Bez, to save a pm, I'm looking at getting a proper 2wd, the Xb4 struggles in the wet compared to the 22's, Dex210, RB5s etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 I've got a LRP X20 7.5t in it at the mo and its a bit nuts, but that's because I haven't turned the turbo off on the esc, but I've got a Speed Passion Comp V3 8.5R I'm picking up tomorrow, I just need to decide what esc and servo to go for. I'm liking the 1258 in it so ill probably get another one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-BEZ- Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 the Xb4 struggles in the wet compared to the 22's, Dex210, RB5s etc I thought the XB4's were very competitive once they were modded into 2wd ...... or has the next gen of the 22 upped the game again?

.AJ. Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) In the dry they are awesome, but not so in the wet and as winter is on its way it's time to get a better handling wet car TBH I'll probably keep the XB4 and get a secondhand 22 or DEX210 Edited September 16, 2013 by .AJ.

The Dark Knight Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 "bling bling" looking good. I've never heard of those J Concepts rod ends, you'll have to let us know how you get on with them. I did hear about the stock rod ends falling off quite easy but I never had any issues with them, I was advised when adjusting the links, put an allen key in the ball studs as this prevents the rod ends popping off when adjusting them which was the main reason people have had problems with them.

.AJ. Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 I think the problem is multiplied by the fact it's a SCT with big wheels and more contact when racing, when I fitted them first time round they were stupidly tight, but they are loosening up well now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 As I had a result with the MOT for the 1/1 today I've just bought an esc for her, a lovely Speed Passion Reventon Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 Raced her last night at SHRCCC, there was a mixed field of 4 SCT's and 2 ST's, the racing was rough at times and after the qualifiers there was only 2 trucks left running, mine and a 22SC, so the final was a bit pointless so we just had a bit of full contact banger racing, I came away with just a mashed shell and ended 2nd, or should that be last 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 2nd place sounds better than last, no matter how many other racer there where, racing is racing haha. Any photos of the mashed up shell? Sounds like you might need that Flo-Tek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 It's seriously tempting to buy the kit and stick my drifter stuff in it lol. I'm sure a 2600kv motor and 45a esc would be sufficient on a 2s wouldn't it? Sorry to kind of go off topic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 That's cool mate, I'm sure that combo would work fine, but you would need a smaller spur so you could gear it up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 That's cool mate, I'm sure that combo would work fine, but you would need a smaller spur so you could gear it up a bit Does it come with one? I've got 16-17-20-12T 48DP pinions to work with as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted September 20, 2013 Author Share Posted September 20, 2013 It comes with 87t, but any Durango 210 spur will fit, MB Models have them, something like this http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php/spares/team-durango/dex210/rw-racing-81t-durango-spur-gear-8816.html and 20-22t pinion won't be far off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind, can I drop you a PM, don't want people complaining about being off topic lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
