Tug Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Don't mount it so far forward, we won't see anything of the car, makes for dull viewing. Rear of the roof or inside the drivers cab are the best spots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you sold it to me.... Just joking, I'll fit it sometime and see what happens, can easily add it to the pile of stuff I need to sell, or modify somehow.

.AJ. Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 This will fit, I tried the standard (single arm) version on a Hitec 5765 and it fit perfect, so will fit any 15t Largescale servo http://www.davesmotors.com/alloy-horn-for-hitec-HS-1000SGT-servo-losi-double-sided.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 It's the detail that makes a build and that horn is just plain pants Apart from that it's an awesome build, not overdone, pretty Bob on tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted a couple of bits are just for show but I've tried to keep most things functional and the colours matched:) wanted to avoid a mismatched car like my baja ended up being 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Things learnt today.. the 30° north shell is bloody strong. The jet pro pipe gives the car a good turn of speed. Hard springs all round is a must and slicks on damp tarmac is interesting!! Video to upload in a bit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpmart Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) I love slicks on damp tarmac, full on 4 wheel drifts.... I need to find the footage, but got some great video I must share! @HomerSimpson- do you know where that video is that you took at Watford with that perfect 4 wheel drift?

norcoforever Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Must admit they are great fun. Few other bits to note the stock engine even though it's a 2 bolt cy isn't bad at all. I've done 3 tanks now with nothing coming loose and no issues Edited April 27, 2016 by norcoforever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcoforever Posted April 27, 2016 Author Share Posted April 27, 2016 Another run well half run done and more notes the killer rc super bee is amazing stopped the car as soon as the battery dropted below the correct voltage. Slightly disappointed I only got 3 runs out of a 5200mah lipo wonder if the very low discharge could be the cause or that the servos I'm running are a bit thirsty. Also a general question is there a reason my front centre shafts is getting hot? There is no binding in the drive train and the servo isn't hot. Is it just the extreme angle causing heat to build up from friction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
