PurpleDrumstick Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Right. Now we are finally back online i shall update this. It's one hefty update though. Oh, i also got bored of taking pictures of the instructions and decided to just crack on lol So I'd just got cracking with bag 2. Ill try let the pictures do the talking and this is where things went proper belly up and i stopped taking pictures for a bit. The adaptors got stuck on the main shaft so i ended up in the garage, filing, sanding and getting angry. As you may have seen, they have had a complaint email and low and behold, they are trying to make it as hard as possible for me to get a replacement. Luckily i managed to get the adaptors on but i have to say, there is two of us that have had this problem so i would say it is a problem with the kit. Moving on You can kind of see where ive damaged the adaptors in this photo, the camera is a bit crap though Onto bag 3 Bag 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Bag 5 Bag 6 I then needed to relieve the TL-01 of its electrics temporarily Bag 7. I was dreading this one but the e-clips went straight on luckilyWanted to keep the shocks upright just in case of any leakage Onto saturday, i was having problems with the steering, it was stupidly tight. Me being a muppet had tightened up the hub ball joints too much lol i also got some advice off a drifter that works at my local modelshop. The instructions tell you to put the droop restrictor screws in from the bottom of the lower arm, which means to adjust you have to take the lower arms off. So before i got any further, whipped the arms back off and turned the screws round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Bag 8and lastly bag 9 Rear battery mount, not needed as im trying the battery in the middle and this is what i think of the wheels that come with the kit and all built bar electrics and electrics fully fitted, my drift tyres still havent come so had to put the crappy kit ones on from the bin lol Had to change servo for a spare as the Acom one wasnt strong enough. I also took it to work yesterday and had a blast. Ran spot on, no problems but i wasnt attempting to drift as you seriously cant with my electric setup and these tyres on that surface. Will be ordering my new electrics on payday That's all folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 It's looking good dude. Have you forgiven it now?How come it wouldn't drift with the tyres, too grippy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleDrumstick Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 Cheers mate. I think so yeh, it looks damn good with those wheels on lol And even with this motor in, it just sits there and spins the wheels up, literally. Quite the opposite of too grippy lol I've got it with me again today as im off to the local track to race touring tonight, gonna have a quick blast on the carpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scratcher Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Ah, that sounds about right. You want the tyres with the least traction for the surface, then you need to dial in the grip.I reckon everyone will be switching to the rear battery holder soon.
