Noj Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 No Vids today chaps, having been let down by Apex who failed to send out some m2.5x8mm screws for the diff. Will be fixed and running next week, Monday will be a busy day here, so will shoot footage Tuesday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 It is Tuesday. As promised, video. 100k oil in the tiny centre diff, otherwise box stock, 2s lipo, Nige at the 'controls'.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stretch Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 Nippy even on 2s. Have you ramped it yet? How does it fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not ramped it yet. Here is the madness that unfolded with a 3s pack installed: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I know they're called 'speed bumps' but most people slow down for them, not speed up!! Nice job of containing the power in the confined space. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noj Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 We've not looked at any of the Esc settings. Let's be honest here, the average punter buys and runs as is, so we wanted to do the same to see what your money buys. I'm with you on the wheelies Stretch, was a right larf this avo, however, long term, it would get tedious. Re pricing, if you take the 350 price point and split the truck down, there's 120 or so in the combo and servo, 45 in the radio gear meaning the truck itself costs around 140 quid, which is not much. As no roller is offered the point is moot of course, but worth a mention. It has been driven hard on concrete for four packs now, shell is intact, tyres barely worn, front bumper, body mounts and rear wing are rather scuffed, as are the skids. Everything else has this far proven tough, very tough...I've had lesser collisions with stock Traxxas parts in the past and broken them..... It is what it is, and we both really like the truck itself 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydoddy69 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Fair comments chap can't wait to see you ramp this you never know if Nige can do them at £299 again and it ramps well I might get one for a comparason for the Losi .. Have you checked out the temps yet ? Id love to see this on 4s I bet it's mental lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Not had a temp gun on it, however, the can feels a touch warmer than I'd like....saying that, it was driven like it was stolen, constant full throttle tomfoolery, but, it needs testing, innit! Having driven it on 3s, unless the power delivery can be tamed, 4s could just be a touch uncontrollable. The Esc on the Select SC does work with a Hobbywing program box (the basic one) although not all parameters are adjustable. Will stick this Esc on the box and see what happens. Could do with a skatepark visit, guaranteed to get decent air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tug Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If it'll run 4S, then you simply must get Nigel to run it on 4S! But in a bigger area! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
