Ripoffbritain Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 RPM wheely bar Tried out at the weekend with good results,a very strong unit which aids wheeleys in off road conditions and helps stop the bumper digging in,although I think it helped the body still came off a couple of times unfortunately. having said that I did have some very cringing heavy crashes,you know the ones. the price of those Chinese diffs has gone up fairly I notice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to know about the off road conditions might have under estimated this rpm wheelie bar, might stick one on order Yep sadly those diffs went up over over the weekend just glad I got in before hand, mine have shipped just that long wait now for the slow boat to get here lol I was speaking to a guy from California who has a set and he runs his on the stock motor geared 20/50 6s and I think he uses Max amp lipos so plenty of poke ? Only has around 30 runs or so but he says so far he is very happy with them and there machined well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripoffbritain Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Still need a better front/rear bumpers though and those spindly twin supports that flex too much i hope he's right about the diffs,no doubt you will test to destruction for us,if the pics are anything to go by they look the dogs. I once ordered from China and it came the same week I couldn't believe it,never happened again though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripoffbritain Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 GPM Racing have some new diffs out which look the same as the ones doddy has ordered from China town,might be a coincidence though . All the same tis good news people's are getting involved with more option parts,bring it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Almost like GPM made a big order, then cut back, but he'd already made more than the amount GPM wanted to agree to ..... ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripoffbritain Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Really like the mottled effect shell,nice job,the pro graphics ones are a doddle though. you should get no problems with the bumper digging in with those bad boy wheels.

Needed longer bolts - perhaps 30 mm instead of 25 mm RPM ones. Packets actually said £2.25 so feel a little ripped off - so if you live nearby you'll bag them cheaper, possibly. Thinking about it, they are 2.25" so it may have been the size - OK again. Wheels are made for largescale aircraft so should be able to withstand the Maxx wheelying ... Al.

stretch Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Think it's a 200w charger ie 50w per channel. Yep defiantly not 200w per channel http://www.skyrc.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=221 Edited November 13, 2016 by stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly these chargers are as stretch stated only 50w per channel so 4.2 a is about as much as it can give you, which is overworking the charger when your trying to charge up 4x 8000mah 3s packs .. To charge those Floureons at 8a you want 100w over channel minimum IMO I use 2 550w power supplies and 4 250w chargers and charge in seriers so I can charge up to 12 2s packs or 8 3s packs depending on there mah but these are more than good enough for my needs as I can have a good afternoons bashing and them some all charged in 2 hours lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Just done cleaning the X after a rather sandy / muddy afternoons bash at Oxshott great fun was had for sure no vids or pics, as to be honest I just couldn't be bothered .. There's one thing I will say, thank god I have an air compressor !! Decided to bite the bullet and I've ordered up a set of shock covers and a chassis protector from Dusty motors along with another set of bearings as I bet once this dries all the steering bearings and a few others will be toast !

Ripoffbritain Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I have sussed it out it is as you say 200w max which is switchable between channels but is factory set at 50w x 4 so if I want I can have channel a and b at 100w each leaving nothing on the other two,which then gives me 2 x 100w just tried out and now giving me 8 amp charge but only on two channels great so far and can control from my phone. just been out myself had a great time and nothing's broke,this is the third time now without diffs breaking,I getting worried.

No point in worrying it's not the end of the world it is anouying and over time costly though ! Ive not had a diff faliure since I tweaked mine, fingers crossed it stays that way until those new spiral cut ones arrive ! . Ive given up the idea of selling mine on even if they never sort the diffs out as its just so much fun to drive. So it breaks a bit its got a naff esc and the diffs are crap the smile factor out weighs the negatives .. I will say though it took some tweaks and head scratching and a few frustrating runs to get here but I'm glad I stuck at it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripoffbritain Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Really hope the spirals are good, dead right on the fun factor there's nothing to touch it even with its faults As time goes by more goodies will be available to empty our bulging wallets. had some major crashes without the body coming off thanks to the RPM wheely bar,very happy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
