.AJ. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 She is a lot more impressive on-road But very over powered with the Tenshock motor, she is a lot of fun tho 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 4400kv and 2s? Tarmac running looks damn good fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 Yep, great fun, the motor was pretty cool as well, so I could go up a tooth or 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Running well. How hot did it get on the grass? Had you firmed up the preload for the tarmac running or was it rolling through hitting dips? Looks like it's got some serious pace! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 I never checked the temps on the grass, kinda pointless with all the wheel spin, on-road it just got warm, maybe 35-40 oC. The grip roll was because the tyres were digging in when going sideways, the ground was really soft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Wonder how it would fare with a 2650kv and 3s??? Nowt more tempting than when there's a spare combo sitting about..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 The stock motor and esc on 3s would be quicker lol, also it wouldn't fit with out major mods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 She looks fast enough to be fun, as I said, the combo is sitting here, when something suitable turns up. Clearly not the 959 if it won't fit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Also swapped out the crosshead screws for SS hex hardware and fitted red alloy bushes on the shock stand offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 It looks sooo strange without a shell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 (edited) Yea it's a bit odd without the shell off, it's pretty much a Shortcourse chassis with short arms and bumpers lol Edited March 8, 2014 by .AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 by mine if you want fella, it is like new. all the accessories never been used and the phone itself only been used probably for a week in total Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mgozzz Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 The fronts rims are 65 x 30 mm and the rears are 65 x 35 mm, the tyres are 85 x 35 and 85 x 40 Be interesting if any other tyres fit the rims, the tyres look pretty limited to dry conditions Those are pretty close the the WR8 tires sizes which are (overall) 35mm x 80mm (wheel) 35mm x 56mm. You can probably get away with a few of the aftermarket off road tire sets made for it. Here is an example- http://www.ebay.com/itm/261311517561 Its a knobby wheel/tire combo and they are 31mm x 83mm (A little narrow) And these- http://www.ebay.com/itm/380702353206 (36mm x 80mm) There are other sets out there but you will just have to dig a bit deeper. You might be able to find buggy wheels the right size but as far as I know most are made for 2.2" (56mm) diameter rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
