martin34 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Looking good.The parts I ordered that didn't fit only came in a little bag with no branding.I am now thinking I am going to order some lexan sheet and make a full skid plate.

martin34 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I am wandering what thickness lexan sheet I should order.I don't want it to heavy but not to thin.I have parts of an old cut up savage body here and that thickness seems ideal but I don't have one of those things to measure it.

martin34 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Just did a quick google search and the savage shell is 1mm thick so I have ordered an A4 sized sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hmm fitting my Ali servo mount and the screws that fix the servo are to long.Its not a biggy but I am not having much luck with hop ups for this car so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) My shocks and other set of our drives turned up today.Strangely these out drives are the correct size yet ordered from the same company The new shocks are quite a bit stiffer than the stockers..

martin34 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 The shocks are 5mm to long so I am going to put some fuel tube inside to shorten them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin34 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Now i have shortened the shocks the springs are to hard so i am using stock springs and shock bottoms.With that set up the shocks are stock length and i have put 70wt oil in them.

Tomoooo Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 After a ride outside, now front tyre is cut ( on the side wall), one rim cracked :-), getting sick of it. :-))). If I have to spend money, so then lets go bigger :-)). Ordered H.King Desert Fox, let's see once it arrives :-))). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsaint Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Starting to feel the same. Need new rear hubs after son broke his, and noticed the front diff is starting to go too.

I had an ION XB originally and then bought an HPI Spino brushless - largely a brushless version of the same car but the stock HPI shocks and the alloy upgrades I purchased for it had much, much stiffer springs. So much so it had no grip and just did random spins and doughnuts on tarmac. I put the ION springs back on and all was well. The upgrade shocks may have these much too stiff springs...
