Yoshimoto Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Well I've not run the white one for what feels like a couple of very cold months now so it's spent some time on the bench getting a new front overdrive kit,some brass knuckles and a lovely alloy steering linkage from Treal. I've removed some of the weights from the front axle to offset the new knuckles and it feels nice.,......it cleared the one line I have never managed previously during my 40 minute shakedown with the new gear on. I've not run with the new linkage yet.....it's fitted and feels great,it's good enough that I had to turn my steering down some way before I was happy ....without end points this mod will test your drive cups and dogbones.The kit soft plastic allows the dog bone and cup to oscillate at the extremes of the steering travel....not so with these. Got a nice scale bundle from EBay too sold the big bits(performance downgrades IMO) but kept the rubberised mirrors....I've cut and placed the reflective decals,measured,marked,measured again at least 5 times more before finally making the holes. This is one of the first scale upgrades I fancied,I mostly go for performance with the scale side taking a bit of a back seat but I love these funky little mirrors.

Yoshimoto Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Looks great 12h87 these are good value too aren't they? I am tempted but it will be battered in no time 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshimoto Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Finishing touches to the grey one including mirrors and a couple of coats of flat on the canvas roof canopy. Overdrive and alloy steering links will finish it for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you posted any pics of your trail course on the forum, would be great to see what you're running these on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshimoto Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 I have previously ran a spare but it's not great for the COG. As for the course I've lots of pics but struggling to get large files uploaded. Might try Tapatalk again but it keeps messing up of recent.

sp0oner73 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Great info and photos. I've been looking at the scx24 for me and my Son to add to the 1:10 trucks. Is that Bolt 2 500mah battery the best one to get for extending run times? If the car is stock what sort of run time will that battery give?

Also did you get the battery with the T deans connector already fitted? I've found the battery on hobbyking but not with a T deans connector?
