Bigjimknickers Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 I'm going 30/50/10, your new motor is pretty close to mine so around the same, or just get some 50k and make sure the centre diff is at least full, mine were lucky if they were 1/4 full from the factory Am I looking for cst or wt or am I being thick?

Oh How Original Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Loose diff oils will be fine just for gently running the engine in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markv8 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Standard losi dbxl 30 50 30 cs but empty Mine now has 3000 10000 7000 wt full and punches well out of turns from the rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 All diff oils are CST, WT is just for thin shock oil Loose diff oils will be fine just for gently running the engine in When I let a rip with G320 it was like it was front wheel drive, the oils were well out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markv8 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I used the cs wt conversion table and im still over what was standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Jim just ask for 50k diff oil, they will know exactly what you are on about, no need to convert to WT as no one really sells heavy oil in WT ratings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went even heavier than you with oils in that. I'm seriously considering a DBXL, my Dad's bought a Punisher now, and my mate has a Maverick XB, so I fancy a 4WD just so when we build a track, we're all equal so to speak.

You won't regret it, lovely to work on & imo they only NEED a lipo in the RX out of the box, everything else is optional! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Presumably they need LiPo compatible servos as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QRC Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Just need better servos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm still on originals, used lipo since the first week & ive done over 5L with my dbxl, maybe lucky? But hey, I'm just bashing. When they break I'll replace them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 If my stock steering servo didn't die within 5mins I would still be running stock, but I was pretty pee'd off so had to get rid of both. It seems the stock servo are a bit hit or miss...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'd probably wait for new servos before bothering to upgrade to LiPo. Although if that was the case I'd have to source a Nano-Tech or something that fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjimknickers Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 My reason was the 1800mah supplied wouldn't be enough time for me so I figured get a lipo straight off or have about 40 min max runtime. Most of the time the servos are replaced so I'm not bothered if they fry, every bash is a bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Why only 40 minutes? The one in my Baja is only 2,000 and I run that for tank after tank... I've had a 4,300 sat here for about 3 months but I seriously can't be bothered tackling the battery box! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazkopat Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Guys are there any must must do upgrades for the DBXL? or is it good straight out of the box? I was looking at a review from Hemistorm and the guy is hammering down the DBXL and not stating much of a positive side towards it. He does quote though that it's his personal opinion.

.AJ. Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Doing my diffs and I opened up the centre and it stinks! I'm guessing the oil got overheated/burnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It's strange what hot diff oil smells like. My Baja was the same when I did it the other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used mine for ages stock, as I said only thing I added was a gens ace 2600mah lipo. Oh & a few exhausts, but there just personal choice not needed.
