Redback Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 2 hours ago, RC4WD fan said: So would I need just the front or do front and back? what are peoples thoughts Front outer and inter portals, kept the plastic arms as a weak spot, For the rear, just outer covers, might go for inner covers too, but dont feel it needs it atm. Get underdrive gears, stick them in the rear, they arn't cheap but makes a difference with climbing. You can get overdrive gears too, but the underdrive gives the same effect, if your want lots of overdrive, you can overdrive the front aswell as underdrive the back. We dont run wheel weights just heavy alloy wheels that work out to be 150g each with tires fitted. All up the trucks about 5kg. I got mine from local shops and fitment mmm, well getting the bearings out isnt fun, and irrc the front inner covers didnt come with the right length screws and they were cheese.

Shergar Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I have SSD brass, and there parts are all good quality, but the bearings still get stuck inside them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 the AliExpress/Amazon brass i got were decent but as Shergar and Redback say its harder to get the bearings out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I always grease the outsides of the bearing before i install into alloy bits to aid removal, it def helps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I found the wheel weights I had from a long time ago will put them in tomorrow when I put the new motor in but if that’s not good enough I get some brass bits and use some grease with the bearings when installing them 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 That sounds like a plan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 (edited) So i have seen these thingys and think they are an awesome idea, the only downside is £20 shipping over and above the cost, i messaged the guy who makes them and he says he does free shipping on orders over £150 but i would assume that would be to 1 address in the uk and then there would be a few quid i would imagine to get from that 1 address to your address, is anyone interested in this? Who wants to get the order delivered to their house and then ship them to everyone else? I dont have a problem doing this. Or does anyone know of something like this in the uk? I have no affiliation to this guy or product Ronnie Santiago https://www.etsy.com/listing/1450356851/ Edited April 30, 2023 by wolfie1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Where can I get miniature nuts and bolts from ? have some of that plate stuff coming for the wings and what not but unsure if it comes with the tiny bolts/screws 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Some of that plate if it doesnt have holes in it is double sided sticky the plate with holes should come with the wee bolts nuts have you a link to the plate your getting ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traxxas TRX- 1/10 Land Rover Defender Chequer Plate D110 Silver Black TRX4 | eBay I have brought the full set in black but wanted a bit more scale look than sticking it on with double sided tape Edited May 4, 2023 by RC4WD fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 in 1 of the pictures it does show a pile of screws also it shows the double sided tape with other parts so it looks to me some are screwed down and other bits stuck on I guess need to wait on it arriving just to see exactly whats in it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
