collective itch Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 just pulled the trigger on one of these, first new kit in a while, and been wanting one for a year or so. Should be with me in a coupe of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 You could drop a Quicrun 3800kv four pole in and gear up a little..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collective itch Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 think ill go with the 3565 4000kv. Modelsport don't seem to stock it though. any recommendations for a servo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collective itch Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 collected the kit today, will get stuck in tonight with he build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I fitted a 20kg jobbie to begin with, powerhd LF20, not really upto the job.... I then sold my roller having purchased AJs which came some crazy xpert affair fitted, stupidly quick and bags of torque. Servo strength means naff all when the front wheels are in the air, which, with the PMT, can be frequent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collective itch Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 has everyone stripped down diff and gearbox to check? from what I've done last night, front end assembled and mounted, it goes together great, materials seems spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Diff and box are fine as they are from the factory. I have since stripped and serviced mine and was impressed with the quality of the box and internal gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collective itch Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 i stripped mine anyway ha. all the diff lube had leaked out, and it was dry. Filled back up with the included stuff, hope it stays in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collective itch Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 had a good few packs through mine now. Had to gear down to 18 t as 4000kv was getting bit hot for my liking. seems a tough truck, but the rear hubs seemed to have loosened up a bit where the bearings sit, ally hubs maybe on the list. Ive also managed to dent the can of my motor, as it over hangs. `fun truck though, will try and get some video up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Anyone get any good links for one if these ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 So I have my sights on one of these or a yeti xl or a Kraton v2 this is looking the better as I can get it from tower shipped for just shy of £200 plus import fees and I haven't got a 2wd basher in my collection So is there any parts I should stock up on ? Does the the steering bell crank need replacing ? If so with what ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collective itch Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Ive found the bell crank fine so far, its not a touring car ha the shock ball ends wore out soon mine so bought a shock rebuild kit. the rear hubs have gone a bit sloppy. the ball ends on the upper rear camber links also have gone a bit sloppy. i have beat the living snot out of it though. great truck!

Kpowell911 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 @mydoddy69 dunno what voucher you're using at Tower, but I've got a 75 off 300 016AV Might be linked to my account mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers chap I might invest in the alloy rear hubs at some point Thinking of just ordering the truck and some basic spares like arms, hubs, spur, slipper pads and maybe the diff seal kit oh and I'll stick a rebuild kit in there and some rod ends by the sounds of it I might need them lol Should have most breaks covered and seeing as there's no uk spares it makes sense to get a few bits save on postage and fees later lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the the steering bell crank need replacing ? If so with what ? Thanks Spur gears and slipper pads. - I have yet to be able to get these from a UK store. The pads are more expensive than the spur! don't worry about steering it spend most of its time on its back wheels! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Grab front arms as well doddy, for the odd occasion it does put the front wheels down! Mine has the carbon shock tower braces fitted, take a lot of the flex out whilst still remaining bendy. You'll want a Traxxas RX box as well.
