mydoddy69 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 New savage xl now that looks cool but it's still no X Maxx contender as it's still only a stretched out 1:8th scale, now if they'd of widened it out and stretched it out and dumped the 1/8th scale electrics for 1/5th scale then I would be impressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Looks like MS missed the first run https://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?search=1&search_string=Traxxas+7795 If I miss this first run I'll cancel my order and just buy the bits I want I think as by this time Tower will more than likely have them and with a cheeky few codes it might work out the same without the esc return hassle hmm decisions ?

All it is is a Flux with extended tvp's and longer center shaft, whoopee doo! Come on get your act together, we need a Traxxas competitor so we can get the price down a tiny bit.

Besides the center diff what parts do you NEED? Seems pretty expensive hop-up for one part. I'm just going to wait till CD becomes available,,,even ifs $100,, still cheaper. My goal with this truck for 6s operation Max6 esc Kershaw diffs UE shock shafts Ti 3x 20mm axle pins center diff should be fun, and reliable with 17/54 gearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal with this truck for 6s operation Max6 esc Kershaw diffs UE shock shafts Ti 3x 20mm axle pins center diff should be fun, and reliable with 17/54 gearing I want the whole lot other than the esc to be honest I've tried the t Bone wheelie bar the one I had was a fail then the rpm another fail so hoping the Traxxas one works I've bent a couple of cvds no big deal the amount of cartwheels it takes but hoping the new ones fix that this though in turn means you have swap out the Axles and outdrives which in time you'll end up having to do as the old v1 is discontinued now so parts for it will dry up eventually .. I like the looks of the fan unit over my current castle modified job just looks and sits much better IMO The centre diff will be the most desirable part as with the Cush drive agreed .. Kershaw diffs will they ever get releasesed ? I had Dan asking me about info on those rock passions yesterday he wanted some contact info so maybe he is having trouble making them ? Even those GPM diffs look promising there a guy on the Traxxas forum running them with good success as well The new diffs dont interst me and will be sold on as the old cvds and slipper unit and esc so take off say £175 from that £400 you get £225 give or take a few quid as there's no gaurnetee on what the old bits will sell for .. Roughly price up what you keep and even at £225 I reckon I'll be saving a few quid 17/54 is a little tame for me to be honest if I was to run that low I'd probably not bother with the kit at all or the centre diff and just leave it as is As you can see I weighed it all up prior to ordering and I'll end up with a nice solid basher, well hopefully for the same sort of money as a new one Fingers crossed that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) My ISA has just 'matured' (I genuinely didnt know ha) and my Mrs probably dont understand what that means (we both have one with same money in and the interest just peaked) so i almost have me 1/8th combo money (and she can have some Make up or something...). What I need to know is, am i going Quicrun and Black can or Castle 2650kv and using my Xmaxx max 6.....

Just my 2 pence on it If I get good electronics Tho I can always drop them into my dream RC a Losi 8ight 4.0.... it would be a Quicrun and a black can due to the 4mm bullets for £95. Or a UK Max 6 and a Castle copy motor for £135, or a Castle MMX/2650kv for £178 plus tax.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what power you'd draw the max8 will be fine you'd even get away with the max10 to be fair but for the price difference you might aswell go overkill and get the max6 although it might be a tight fit in the rb one ? Where you getting your UK max6 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you getting your UK max6 ? Yea im ok at soldering, but dont like the fly leads on the Quicrun, even though I could cut them down If im soldering. Quicrun 150a would be from RC Mart and Black can would be China Max 8 from Modelsport and a fake Castle can from wherever they come from. I meant Max8 not a Max 6 lol. Although I did get my Max 6 in the X from MS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
