Ady 2215 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Tomorrow going to do a fill check over check diff oils etc.. Whats the best diff oil weights to put in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG15 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I had one handed driving mastered with a dx3s but this traxxas tx is abit more spread out so its slightly harder. Tsm was full turned off here btw. I'm not a fan of stuff like that tbh. I may use it on other terrain. We will see. i also plan on upping the diff oil weights to stop the inside tyres ballooning too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 A shame you filmed in portrait, I'm deducting a point for that. The one handed driving was very impressive! I've tried that before and it's a real handful! Pun intended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll make a mount too so I can drive with two hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could fit tighter to the heat sink if some plastic was trimmed away but I'm happy as it is. Comes witha thy lead long enough to feed into the waterproof receiver box n just plug straight in. Easy peezy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basher 46 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Here's a quick vid lads, had ran for around 15 minutes before i got the camera out and the packs had lost their initial punch but still very happy with the performance. A 50t spur will be perfect in my opinion. Excuse the driving I was filming with one hand driving with the other. I'll get the GoPro out for the next runs. ###### wicked[emoji2] it goes like stink , That's How you right the beast Good old kick brilliant !

FatWheels Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Castle must be doing a roaring trade in fans. This thing really moves some air. Hopefully I will get out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I will get out tomorrow. Does the Castle 2028 fan just mount on top of the aluminium heat sink or do you remove the existing heatsink and then mount the castle one directly on the motor ? Do you have a link where you got this from also if you don't mind ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Seeing you guys are fitting fans I just found this not sure if it fits are not but its nice to have options http://www.modelsport.co.uk/skyrc-1-5th-motor-cooling-fan/rc-car-products/395299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great, just a tip if u take the two screws out of the furthest back part of the rx box and lift that part up there's slots with foam around them to run extra wires into the rx box but still keep it as waterproof as possible. I think that will be a better option than going in through the gromit on the lid bud. Will look tidyer too. Id also be intrested in where u got that fan pal.

I just added one to my order at £12.00 seemed like a no brainer to cool things down and it looks quite nice when installed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady 2215 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 So I have found some core rc diff oil 30000 cSt and 50000 cSt. I want to upgrade my diff oil but I cannot work it out cst to traxxas w rating. Apparently standard is 30, 000w at rear and 10,000w at front. Would this core diff oil work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what shock oil is used in the X-MAXX just as i would like to buy some more as some of mine has leaked out ! Also does any one know any very small lights or light bar which i can mount into the front bumper ? I would like it also powered off the receiver if possible ?

atom3624 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Liked the video Nige. Liked the WoS at 1'12" as well - not trying out the 'self-righting'! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG15 Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Turok, his heatsink will push down abit and those cut outs clip over the screw heads. Cheers atom, self righting doesn't seem worth the risk tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
