wolfie1 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 Today my new 80kg servo arrived, so had to get it in, holy crap batman its mentally powerful! Also installed a ubec so it can run on 8.4v and tidy up some wiring that had been annoying me, it was ashame that the steering servo fits upsides down as its a very pretty thing and way heavy! The last pic i seen on a facebook group, all the wheels are driven and lock! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Does anyone know if you can get the tinted windows for the defender body like the ones on these on the adventure edition body shell but just the stickers ? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/traxxas-trx-4-land-rover-defender-adventure-edition-body-432897 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I don’t know about the sticker options (presumably you could get a sheet of window tint film for a full size car and use that if you wanted) but you can definitely use a specialist paint to tint the windows like that. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-ps-31-smoke-polycarbonate-spray-paint-1954 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Found an ace new place to take the cars out, it has a bit of everything, spoke to the farmer that owns the land and he is happy enough with me being there. I cannot make up my mind if my front suspension is too hard, it certainly feels soft and i can lift a front wheel and it will go full compression before another wheel will lift off the ground but watching back this video im not sure its right 92A99EF1-DCBB-4593-88CA-71F9A7ED757F.mov 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong the 40kg 1 i had in before was brilliant but using man maths, more power=better? Edited May 16, 2023 by wolfie1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They came prefilled, i have taken them off, drained them and found plastic spacers between the rubber o rings as they seemed to be binding, i have removed these and put another shock o ring in their place and refilled with the thinnest oil 100cst and will retry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie1 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 So this happened today, the lowest spotlamps are a bit yellow but i will drill them out for 5mm cool white ones when i have time, i am quite impressed with the bits along the bottom of the bodyshell, as even though changing to the alloy sidesteps visually looks better it annoyed me that the body would pop out of its little channel too easily 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Does look smart 👍 I need to pull my finger out and make a start on the new shell only need to get some sand ladders and reflective stickers and will be good to go hopefully the servo will be here by the weekend 🤞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
