chewbacca Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Yeah I can imagine, but back then I just didn't put any on, for reasons unknown. This chassis and drivetrain is heavier than the SCX10's, so that makes up for it. No wheel weights in this either. No need for weights if the chassis is heavier lol You'll get the chance to drive my D90 again chap, I know you miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Lol, might have to make this a bigger bash..... My 90 has 12oz in each front and with the wheels and tyres comes in at over 14oz, believe me it does need it to keep the wheels down. My dodge on the other hand has 6oz in each front but runs a lexan shell, each very different to drive but satisfying nevertheless.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more the merrier fella I have actually been thinking about putting some weights in, not much, maybe 20g in each or something. This pick up can go at some ridiculous angles without tipping over, I surprised even myself, I expected it to be better than the SCX10 was simply due to how much I put on the roof, but I was amazed how far over it can go. I'm also not running foams in the tyres either, which I'm sure helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Pretty bored today after I got back from giving the Baja some hell, so decided to put these new tyres I got on. Only a 'cheapo' brand but purely for testing the more aggressive and pronounced tread pattern, that's absolutely fine, for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lel-95 Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 i had those on my CC01, they were good! The foams were a bit stiff but i know you like to run without, nice deep tread too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 I've put some RC4WD foams in them I'm actually running the G2 with foams, it seems to like a firmer tyre, at least for the grounds I'm on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 There very good tyres to be fair, should make a big difference overall mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Sounds promising then... Fingers crossed Martins on the ball with my shocks Noticed the left rear one is a touch stiff as well, so shall stick this new pair on in place of that and the missing one, rebuild the stiff one and hopefully take it for a drive tomorrow!

Oh How Original Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think I did have a set, but I don't think they actually got ran. I used that one so little, as I spent most of the time fettling and tinkering with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Took this out today as my replacement shock arrived, didn't get any pictures but I did do a little video on my phone, it's pretty difficult filming and driving though so it's not very good so I'm not uploading it I do plan on trying to get some footage with my DSLR, just need to figure out a reliable free program to edit them on, for some reason WMM can't cope with the file sizes.

Geeze Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 WMM should be fine if the machine is up to spec? Can be very demanding of hardware though. Maybe try Lightworks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Never tried Lightworks, I've tried Lightroom. My PC is up to the job, I just seem to get mistakes and stuff in the videos when saving from WMM, it loads them okay, but some of the clips skip and stuff, like it hasn't saved it properly, I can only assume it's down to the big file size, it doesn't do it on smaller stuff.

Geeze Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 It could be memory but could just be a decent clean up is needed, sometimes even works best to completely uninstall and reinstall WMM. Final trick is reencoding the file to a different format and back again 'restores' them and can cure issues but that's usually if there's been a problem in the render. Lightworks is limited but very good. Its a proper pro style editor so doesn't have all the usual YouTube effects people love but it is very good for actual editing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 All I want to do is add a picture at the start, then transitions between clips and a picture at the end. I still have all the individual files so I might trydoing it either in two parts or just cut it down to see if that helps. We shall see.

Geeze Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 WMM is surprisingly good for a Microsoft freebie, probably one of the best pieces of video freeware but when it plays up its a right PITA working out whats wrong. Bear with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Might start a fresh project on it then and see what happens, maybe just use half the clips then it doesn't take as long to load, edit or save, then if it screws up, it's not as annoying lol.

Oh How Original Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 They're not bad, the wheels are nice, the tyres aren't the most amazing, but they're really nice to scale, I'm not terribly keen on these KRT's if I'm honest, so I'll be going back to the Dirt Grabbers. What RC are you putting them on? If they're for your SCX10, don't do it, get something taller with a more aggressive tread pattern. I like my 1.9 Rok Lox I'm using at the moment on my SCX10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
