Pins have been snapping  on the dog bones on some of the cars worth getting a back up. Oh and rc modelz are now selling shockwears

well no one wanted the 30north and the 5b I was getting sold even tho I put a deposit down for it, so I done her first run in tank yesterday and was spot on, I have a jammed back brake which I will sort out next week.

 

going to order some 8lb ddm springs and some extenders next month

Seems like people are having problems with dog bone pins snapping, i redone my rear diff today, something wasn’t right so put 12k back in there, waiting on the ddm springs to turn up now

Hmm, the 30dnb did seem like a good buy. Is it nice to drive? Was watching RC Maxx UK's videos on it, seems like a neat buggy for the price.

Only done the run in so far but gave it a few blips on the throttle and seems to be ok, of course it has a twitchy back side but the 12k diff oil should help tone  it down a bit and adds to the fun to.

Sadly not, had to scrap that bash, had to have our dog put down the day before, so not really in the mood.

Well time to get this thread going again, just been out in my workshop and unearthed the said buggy, day off tomorrow so a few additions and start to break her in, that sounds weird just  on it’s own !!.

Had a crackin’ day yesterday, first run on a track, had a few minor issues, steering played up, now resolved. Diff and shock oils will be changed this week, hopefully this will calm down the back end !!. :rc_car:

Well this is my effort, only had it out couple times, cut a track in the grass where we run and this thing likes to hoover up the cuttings and keep it in the chassis so starts getting a bit hot. Looking forward to getting out more offten when the grass calms down a bit lol, fun buggy to drive though...definitely a challenge to drive with that lively back end.

Been looking into mesh to cover the holes in the shell, similar issues with half a field ending up inside !!. ;)

Mesh doesn't seem to help much, it finds a way in but doesn't seem to flow out the back like it does on my 5ive clone
