.AJ. Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I've not used it yet, but the feedback I've had from others has been good, but I'll alway take the readings with a bit of salt, it's more to give me a rough idea of how I'm getting along more than anything 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Huzzah for the thread return AJ, is that a diff locker for the front?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 No diff locker, the centre is locked tho with a adaptor to run Revo spur gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 AJ - could you post a pic of under the chassis when you get 5 mins please? Close up of the centre diff section. I'm told (and on checking the manual) the e mount will fit the nitro chassis but it would be prudent to check. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the RC Hornets Revo adaptor better in these pics, at the mo the gearing is 26/36, but I've got parts ready to go 30/34 as and when I'm ready Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Ive also picked up a XO-1 front splitter i need to fab up a plate to mount to the front bumper, but will end up looking something like thos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) I've been stocking up on transmission parts over the last few weeks, in most cases I've bought upgrade parts if possible and then kept the stock parts as spares, it would be annoying to go to ROSSA and have a transmission failure and have no spares So far I've changed the rear dog bones and centre shafts to cvds and got a full set of HD lightweight diff outdrives to fit next time I have the diffs out Ive fitted ally pin covers as the stock ones were plastic and are known to wear through and then throw out the cvd pin Here you can see how I've mounted up the GPS, the foam block gives it a bit of shock protection Edited October 24, 2015 by .AJ.

.AJ. Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 One thing bugged me after fitting the GRP's, the wheels never really filled the arches properly So I ordered up a set of Hobao +4mm hex's to bring the wheels out a bit, they weren't a straight fit, I had to shave them to marry up properly Fitted And now they sit so much better 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean-vrs Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 has this had its maiden run yeet AJ? what speed am i chasing........the gauntlet needs laying down!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 I've not run it with the new gearing reckon 120mph is a fair target, shame your XO1 isn't a 8O8, so it's not in direct competition with me or Harvey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean-vrs Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 ive always wanted a xo1 so it was a easy choice for me 120mph is the target then, from my point of view you and Harvey are the competion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted November 15, 2015 Author Share Posted November 15, 2015 Cool, should be fun, for the practice event in April I'm aiming for 100mph and then then all out at the main event later in the year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
