bieomax Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I was half thinking about picking up a 1060 today, as the stock one annoys the f out of me with its auto tune at start up, seems to negate or mess up anything i set on the GT3C im using.Also as a side line, ive stripped the original 2.4ghz gt2 down that i got with the outlaw and am attempting to convert one of the old sanwa saber dash's i still have. So far ive plugged the throttle in and its working. Just need to figure how im embeding the pcb in to the SD chassis.Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeze Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I didn't get on with the stock ESC either and ditching it for a 1060 made a world of difference, much more punch and the servo is noticeably perkier too But it's just an interim measure til I get a brushless combo ordered up, happened to have the 1060 lying around anyway (as you do. well, they're cheap and keep coming in useful...!)

bieomax Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Whats everyones thoughts on the chassis upgrade, alu or carbon? I think id like the alu for a little more weight.Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Either one would be OK. The carbon should be stiffer and stronger but bend it too much and it breaks whereas the aluminium can be straightened. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnSo if there was £1.69 difference which would you opt for, i dont think the bending is an issue really unless your doing something really untoward with itSent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 The difference was about £10.00 so I went for the aluminium one at the time. Might go with the carbon if you can get it for almost the same price as the aluminium one. Wonder how thick the carbon one is? John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bieomax Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I think IoWB has one.Ive found some stock in spain and the delivery is £6.50ish and the price between is above. So may go on the carbon one.Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bieomax Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Ordered the carbon.If anyone is wanting an alu one, ebay RH10977 currently the ebay advert is saying 4 on stock.Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle of Wight Basher Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Indeed I've got the carbon chassis and very much rate it. It's well made and has survived my abusive driving so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle of Wight Basher Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 BTW the carbon chassis was fitted before the videos on the beach earlier in the thread. During the making of them the chassis coped with a lot of scrapes and jumps and bumps, then a week later I broke some parts after not landing a full speed jump, this was how I previously broke the standard chassis but the carbon one was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post johninderby Posted February 24, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Outlaw in Blue New shell painted in Tamiya PS-16 metallic blue. Tyres are the IROK clones on HPI Rock 8 beadlocks with Axial blue beadlock rings. Light bar is a Fastrax with 18mm lights. Very pleased with the way it's turned out. Shell was a right PITA to cut out though. Very,very thick on the top and needed a Dremel type tool to cut the top out, then lots of sanding.

bieomax Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Got the outlaw running again today, but the hw 1060 seems to be power cutting on my 2s 5200mah floureons. I didnt know at first if it was the gt3c playing up, but when i switch it to nimh i get full power.Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Could be the 1060s thermal cut off. John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bieomax Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Or is it's way of telling me the 20t pinion is too much for oem motor?Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bieomax Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Hmmm i'll have to check if its flashing next time.But then wouldnt that kick in on the nimh mode?Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 NiMh voltage is a bit lower so maybe just enough less load on the ESC. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spaners Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 made this today. 2.5mm aluminium chassis , should I cancel the one I have on order ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Looks pretty good. Maybe cancel the one on order and wait to see how your home made one works out. You can always re-order later if needs be. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) Test run around the car park of the new sensored BL system. The clone IROK tyres handle so much better than the stock tyres. It now slides under hard cornering rather than rolling over.
