They will if you buy the proline 17mm adaptors which at first I thought was a bit of a sneaky move , I forgave them once I seen the price https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/pro-line-raid-6x30-to-17mm-hex-adapters-4-437822 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 My ESC fan died today, 2nd dead fan since I got the dr8. Am I just unlucky or is this a common weak spot? Its all stock running on 6s. Can anyone recommend an upgrade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that they seem to need any 👍 21 hours ago, SWF said: Didn’t Basherqueen do this, sure it’ll be on her site somewhere?

I’ll be interested to see what you do to it, I’ve been around here long enough to know that you’ll come up with a few mods and tweaks to make it pretty much bombproof 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all stock running on 6s. Can anyone recommend an upgrade? Possibly just been unlucky I’ve not had an esc fan failure for a long time . You could try an alloy cased version similar to this https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/centro-aluminium-cooling-fan-28000-rpm-5v-8v-30x30mm-esc-plug-442291 Not sure what you need .

Kyo Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Thanks, might see if cml will replace it again. If not will check out those alloy ones - they look being at least 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyo Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So I took the esc cover off to replace the cooling fan with a fancy new alloy fan and found a blade missing on the dead fan! No idea how - the buggy is never run without its shell and the esc cover provides protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered a new cnc shock tower to replace the one I just bent after a pretty impressive cartwheel! I'm considering those 15mm extenders to improve cornering too. Do they make much difference?

Not massively but they do help out especially on high traction surfaces, well worth getting some for the price 👍🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Extra width will always help stability so should reduce how easy it is to roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
