TrickyTris Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Looks awesome AJ! Absolutely love this build! The powaaah!!! I'll have to try & convince you to come down our little off-road track in the summer to put her through her paces! All the regulars seem to have switched to Truggies this year & we've gained some new guys with them as well, so should be some really good Truggy racing/bashes coming up! Oh and I'm afraid I had to copy you on the cable modders front.. They make the electrics look so much nicer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Tris, I will pop along soon, the only problem I have is I only have one 5s at the moment, so it means lugging my leisure battery will mehow are you finding the tekin combo, looking at one for my D8 Think the vid sums up the combo pretty well, stupid amount of torque and smooth to boot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTris Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Ah, yeah that could become a bit of a pain! I'm sure you'll have more beasty LiPo's by the summer though.. Need to stop looking at your Truggy now, as my ebay window is open and I'm finding myself looking at new motors! Argh!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 When I used to race SCT's I ran both 65c Nanos and Gens Ace and the difference was huge, the Nanos used to puff ,lose punch very quickly through the pack and when worked hard they got very hot. That was with a very amp hungry set up tho, the difference in a 1/8 would be less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Got round my shock stand off issue I used AE RC8.2 stand off and bushes, I turn the bushes down to fit the Losi shock caps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTris Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Looks freakin' epic mate! What turnbuckles are you looking at? I was considering getting some for my CRT but the HN ones are a bit too pricey & I'm struggling to find an alternative.. When I used to race SCT's I ran both 65c Nanos and Gens Ace and the difference was huge, the Nanos used to puff ,lose punch very quickly through the pack and when worked hard they got very hot. That was with a very amp hungry set up tho, the difference in a 1/8 would be less Wow, that's surprising! Though I can completely understand them being over worked by a more powerful setup than an el cheapo XeRun combo! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Lunsford are a well known American company who specialise in Ti parts, they make great stuff but a little overpriced for my liking and as it goes my Yokomo has their turnbuckles on it (came in the kit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
