simon_93 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 It would only shread the gears if you put in an insanly fast motor, i've only got a 9T brushless motor so that would run fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_93 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 also could someone tell me what mm those ansmann shocks are as i would like to buy some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Wouldn't bother the ansmann ones are prone to leaking but if you must their 75mm front and 95mm rear personally I'd just get the big bores http://bit.ly/1eOl9az I know their for the x4 but they should fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_93 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 what's the advantage with the big bore shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboyneil Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Something to do with smoother action plus they react less to big adjustment makes them more fine tune than hit or miss with the standard shocks I ordered myself a set the other day http://bit.ly/1eSx737 well worth it to say ansmann wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_93 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I bought myself some absima adjustable shocks last night as they looked decent, will probably invest in big bore shocks in the future but for now the absima shocks will do, plus do you know if a team c tmo2 bodyshell will fit my jekyll? because i've looked at the comparisions and they seem pretty similar so i just wanted to make sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danxr3i Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 Look up team c tc02 owners club on Facebook. Everyone is welcome to join and post. I have started the build so photos to follow. And I highly recommend the gear diff. It's so much smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danxr3i Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ebay item 120994628120 an absolute must for these types of cars. Reasonably expensive but lifetime warranty on it. Plus it stops the bottom bracket snapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PraetoR Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Upgraded my Mad Rat to the full "X2 Pro" spec... made little to no difference! But it meant I could use the spares off of mine to complete the other one Also... I lost my pirate flag off it!! Better ebay me another one!

Plus it stops the bottom bracket snapping. I like the look of that, I have the shorter version attached to the front 4 screws, did nt know they made this one as well, not sure they did when I got the other type atleast a year back. Wonder why they don't list that for the Mad Rat and only Macnum, looks the same chassis as the Mad Rat.

Danxr3i Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Simon has ordered one I've ordered two as I've two cars. I've got the older style one too and love it. It's never snapped an underchassis ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
