J.K Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 If you're in Brazil you'd be best to have a look at the American sites - try Tower Hobbies or Amain for a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Interesting idea with the epoxy filling of the lower bulkhead and steering posts - that could add a fair bit of strength. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick.irie16 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi everyone. Can you recommend a decent xmaxx stand . A rotating one would be good. Looked around but nothing large enough.

scoobied77 Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Swapped in the 46t spur today. Running mainly over short grass with the odd bit of tarmac. Motor hardly gets hot still! Get better run times with the Zippy's now which I thought I would as I guess you don't have to go woot all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post atom3624 Posted March 26, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2017 Charged up the batteries and had a little blast before midday in Sutton Park. Power and traction are plain 'stupid' - speed is ridiculous - must top out over 50 mph if I ever get there. Those MTXL tyres must be gripping much better than the normal - and option - tyres others run. It just lifts it's nose EASILY. Easing up the throttle from 100 m away, getting over perhaps 30 mph, on 1/5 - 1/4 throttle, cranking lifts the nose AGAIN! I back flipped before getting used to the grip - on wet and muddy grass, throttled off onto the wheels again without problem. Wheelie wheels do nothing related to wheelie bars - perhaps they do simply protect the back. Some of the silver paint on the roll bar flaked off, and the rear 'C' pillar's buckled slightly - NOT A SHELFER (any more anyway)! PHOTOS (now cleaned up - of course!)

Kpowell911 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Id definately suggest the 8s Wheelie bar. It genuinely does work well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I've been looking at that for a while - may need to see how to limit the flexing. Power of mine is stupendous - and basically I doubt it'll ever overheat - motor and ESC felt as warm as my hands are normally!! I'll risk 'the card'! Al.

FatWheels Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Any links to order an 8S wheelie bar and does it work in the V1 rear bumper as I have a brand new one thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
