Zombi Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 What are you going to do for the body dude? Lexan or panels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 That's something I'm still wondering... I'm going to be hopefully placing an order with RPP soon, although the bluntness of the owner, I may not actually bother... But either way, that's the only place I found that sells panels and I actually quite like the panel look as well, so may very well do that.

Zombi Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I think RPP's great, and I get most of my stuff there. Aside from the bonnet, make your own panels dude, it's not hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Well I would but for like 30 dollars I might as well just chuck them onto the order lol. The site looks good, but both times I've spoken to their customer service, they've been very off. Only asking about stock times for the VP titanium links too bad nowhere else has the same stock really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Aye, RPP do have the most comprehensive range of stock out of all the US online RC shops. Don't let what sounds like an anomalous email or two put you off mate. They were really good with me when I had a dodgy part - maybe whomever it is you spoke to trod in turd that morning and was having a bad day of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'm a big believer in the benefit of the doubt so it's not actually likely to put me off ordering if it came to actually pulling the trigger.... I like the look of panels more than a shell but I'm not overly keen on the silver, so wondering if to carbon wrap them if I do go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 That's why god gave us spray paint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I imagine it'd be chipped off pretty fast though lol. I quite fancied using that bed liner stuff for spray paint. I think AJ used it on his Wraith, it gives like a few rough/matt effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well it's finished, for the most part, still got to build the cage but given it a little maiden in the garden... WOW, holy steering slop Batman lol! It's taking the pee a bit I think. It all seems to be coming from the servo saver, so I think I'll invest in the GPM steering assembly sometime in the near future, unless someone else has a better/faster fix, I'm just assuming that would fix it, but if not, I'm all ears/eyes, very welcome to suggestions. Another thing to note, it definitely needs some firmer springs. I went with 30wt oil all round with 2 hole pistons and it's still very very soft on full preload.

smeghead28 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I put the stock rear springs on the front and got stiffer rear springs,that helped a lot with the saggy bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 It isn't going to be clean for long so makes zero difference. And where did you get stiffer springs from Mark? I've not managed to find any in stock. Linky would be most appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also asiatees have just restocked the green medium springs for the yeti I've got a set on it's way incase the gpm units don't work out!

Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 I will have a look for some stiffer springs on there then, current ones are orange, so will have to cross reference what the spring rates are and go from there. Biggest problem is the servo saver slop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeghead28 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 In the end I got the springs from Amain,UK either didn't have stock or were stupid prices. I dont remember exactly which ones I got though ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Well I've got all the cage bolted up now, rather disappointingly, you can't mount the front properly without the shell... So that's going to need to be sorted ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.Son Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 We're at exactly the same point in the build- been doing some limited shake down runs in the garden and yes there's a fair bit to wobble at the front! One of my wheels seems to be unbalanced too, which isn't exactly helping matters..! I need to rebuild the wheel in question, as I think the foam is to blame? Have you noticed your CVD's clicking at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It isn't going to be clean for long so makes zero difference. And where did you get stiffer springs from Mark? I've not managed to find any in stock. Linky would be most appreciated Main places were LiquidRC and RCMart. LRC for the win of course, here are the green ones i run on the rear: http://www.liquidrc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=0&products_id=54137 And the search http://www.liquidrc.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=axial+90mm+spring So for $1 shipping, it's clearly the place to order from.

Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Very possibly the foam, mine all seem to run straight and true. I'm not sure how long they'll stay on the rims when I'm running 3s though, at the moment i's just a 2s in there on a 15t pinion for testing. Nope, no clicks matey... All shimmed up and smooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks very much Mark, it's a shame LiquidRC doesn't do the panels as well lol, last order from them arrived in 4 days and no customs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.Son Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Nope, no clicks matey... All shimmed up and smooth. How, have you shimmed the the drive-shafts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Sorry I realise what you said lol, but yeah still no clicking. Is it possible it's coming from elsewhere? I did notice one of my CVD's is ever so slightly bent, but nothing to cause any ill effect so I'm not fussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Aye, LRC is an excellent place to get stuff from, it's just that their stock variety is somewhat limited. If they had a wider range of goodies I'd go there as my default. They're also a bit naughty and mark down the shipment values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yeah plus something else I find annoying is when you click for highest price stuff first, it doesn't actually change the list lol... I typically do that to weed out things like body clips and screws and stuff, much easier to find stuff, but not when it doesn't work lol. I've decided I'm going to paint the shell and decorate it as best I can for the moment... Then I'm probably going to go for panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
