Pistonhead Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Bit of an update on my Tekno EB48.3, it's now fully rtr, albeit with slightly different electrics, now a Max8 (instead of the XR8 Plus) and a TrackStar 4270 1900kv motor (instead of the HW 1900kv I wanted) I like my bodies looking clean and simple, so while I'm waiting for a new .4 body to paint up, de-stickered the existing body and wing.

Popular Post MissT Posted August 7, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hi, here's my DF-02 Gravel Hound! I bought it secondhand to help amuse the kids and found myself immersed in it too. It had front and rear alloy shock towers and a sport motor fitted. It hadn't been used much. Within 10 minutes I'd whacked it into my car wheel on the drive and broke the front shock tower. Fixed with cable ties, 10 minutes later a front shock had lost it's bottom collar. Back indoors I realised a lot of screws had come loose as well. I'm still working on curing this a month later with loctite as and when something comes loose. Feel free to offer advice on this problem! Much internet perusal and forum has ensued recently The next day I hit something else hard and snapped a shock this time, so I ordered some very pretty blue and yellow metal ones, some ballraces, and an alloy propshaft and waited impatiently for them to arrive. I dismantled the gearboxes and cleaned and greased them while I was waiting. While it was in pieces I realised the suspension could be raised a bit higher. With the new parts fitted I wound the preload adjusters down to match stifness front and rear. It's transformed the car with much tighter handling and less snagging obstacles that my iffy driving can't avoid! Perhaps inadvisedly I fitted a Tamiya dirt tuned motor a few days ago. It's now really fast and quite a handful but the kids giggle a lot and it really flies off our home made ramp. One of the lovely new shocks took a big whack the other day, it completely bent the piston shaft (if that's the right name for it) Much dismayed I took it my workshop-equipped motorbike enthusiast neighbour who unbelievably (to me) stripped it down and patiently tapped it perfectly straight again using a vice, a little hammer and a piece of glass (to roll it on and check for straightness) Refitted, it's perfect and leak free. Hooray! Another bump on the front today and a bottom spring cup fell off of the other front shock, I did find it though. I need to find a way to- A. Stop hitting immovable objects. B. Make the front of the car more resistant to immovable objects! This evening I filled the underbody voids with epoxy as an offering to the gods of RC car crashes, I've yet to research crash resistance methods or driver improvement Other material upgrades in the future could be a turnbuckle set and steering linkage. I've ordered a set of road tyres and wheels too, for a bit of variety. I know I talk too much 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumper Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 So i have secretly had this Xray XB808 since 2016, but i have never run it much because i ended up putting the electronics in my hyper ST. Over the past month I have stripped down and rebuilt it with properly, but i didnt go over the top with the power system. Specs: Orion 4 pole 3670 2000KV motor which i had spare Hobbyking Beast 120A 2-6S ESC Savox 0231 waterproof servo 15T pin gear with 42T spur Diffs oils are 30K -500K - 30K I have replaced a load of o-rings, gaskets, cvd pins and loads of screws. I have had the clamp meter on to measure the current draw on 4s and it is using 84A at constant full speed with slow acceleration and bursting to about 107A, so i am thinking a 16 or 17T pinion will be fine. The motor is running 60-70c on grass under heavy loads, so i have the temperature headroom as well. I have not jumped it yet as the esc is only stuck down with servo tape and from previous experience with my flying skills it will need screwing or cable tying down I am also waiting on some rear shock parts too as the shocks were kind of bodged together at the back. I am still waiting on a few parts, but i have got it up and running and it is running well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertberr Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 did you buy the dogbone pins pre cut or just cut up some 3mm bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the hudy dogbone pins you get a 10 pack for just under £5 and they should last a fair while, even though they are known to wear out. Got a tool to take them out and put new ones in from @Candyman and that works really well. Edited August 14, 2018 by Jumper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
