Ocdcbr Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 Just put the max5 in. Cabletietastc!.. as in my v1. Looking forward to giving it a go. I did find a drive train noise when running the car without wheels on the bench to check the esc was working as it should. Hoping it's just my hand straightened centre drive shaft. I have ordered a new 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatWheels Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Took the V1 out today it's been a while. Still great fun but clearly lacking the power and punch I have seen on V2 videos. Blasted through 4 batteries and it experienced thermal cut out half way into the 3rd pair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocdcbr Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 V1 was great. Only complaint I had really was concern about the esc and breaking ring/ pin gears too often. Otherwise it was solid and fun. V2 does feel like a general step up in the right direction. Did bend my centre drive shaft 1st proper bash out tho. Never did that on my v1 in a year.

scoobied77 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Installed some goodies this evening. . . VG Racing roll cage. Man this thing is proper strong! I put all my weight on it (90kg) and it would not budge. Nice thing with my future shells no need to reinforce all the rear end any more now as there is simply no need. With the cage the rear end is solid and it's that part which seems to take most of the beating. Also installed a set of VG racing progressive springs which seem really nice and soak up the additional weight from the cage. Just need the weather to get better so I can have a decent bash.

It's mounted with screws direct to the body so it's nice and secure. Lipos just slide in the normal way, no need for hinges! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Chassis YES! I was wanting to see how the body mounted onto it and what problems there are relative to without the roll cage. The mounting areas look clear so apparently no problems at all!! Al. Edited August 2, 2017 by atom3624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobied77 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Ocdcbr said: The cage is 3.3lbs???? surerly not!! Apparently so. Someone else weighed theirs. I didn't bother weighing mine, I just slapped it on! 3.3lbs I'm really glad I bought the VG Racing progressive springs at the same time. They are much better than the stock springs and take the weight of the cage no problem whilst improve the handling. Being progressive they still soak up all the little bumps a treat and can handle the big jumps too.

Ocdcbr Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 3.3lb is a lot of weight to put on it... or at least it sounds it to me. maybe it's not in the scheme of things. Looks great either way and I like the idea of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great either way and I like the idea of it. If I can tap the throttle and she can easily flip on her back still I'd say she can more than handle the extra weight.
