Really good quality and very simple parts, I'm definitely a.... fan. I've taken the Max6 part off though, as you can get aluminium framed 35mm fans which fit. Mine wasn't fast delivery though, took bloody weeks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine just arrived today, not really that impressed so far as it looks like it was cutout with a hobby knife...🤣🤣🤣 Also didn't fit the chassis I wanted it for, lucky I have other chassis's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just press buttons and see the curve change, you want it a bit more horizontal around the centre, like this. I've now set EXP. F and EXP. B to 50% and gone up 2 teeth on the pinion. Will see what that does when I next use it! Whenever that is! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Just now, Guns said: Thanks for the picture, see how it goes Well, you're pretty close to my setup if i'm not mistaken (though i geared back down to 18t) - same motor (ish) and same radio settings, so technically it should be proper drivable now. I can't see another difference that'd make yours awful and mine good to drive. Disclaimer: it's still gonna wheelie, you'll not get that out of the truck. I don't think, anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted March 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2021 I had some free time this morning as I was up early.... Decided to try the EXB with the above changes.... I wanted somewhere pretty flat and basic just for a shakedown, it was wettish still so I avoided grass, so went to a local quiet road..... Lets start with the bad. This was within 30 seconds. Now Im putting this down to my previous experiments with low viscosity diff oils.... Thats the second tyre ripped, So i thought Id poke it back in and see what happened, as I know ill need tyres in the future..... However. The EXPO/Gearing Up/lighter centre diff oil have TRANSFORMED the truck 😄 😄 😄 It performed flawlessly. Very fast, controllable wheelies. It was brilliant. Now, dont get me wrong, my 'bash' spot was more suitable for an Arrma Infraction than an EXB, but I couldnt fault it! I used it so much..... it stopped..... I got confused, then realised I hit LVC. I bet I havent done that for 3 years with an RC..... We're getting there. Temps were fine with the 20t Pinion, Just need to decrease LVC a touch and add some brakes..... Then sort the tyres out? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-racing Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 My EXB Kraton is OK with 8s My EXB Mojave feels not so good now after all 4 tires exploded after short run. Kraton EXB feels well . Soon i will blow these tires maybe too =? Well the wheels that i blow up is aftermarket wheels Not stock Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very glad to hear mate. Sucks that the tyre is torn, i actually think the stockers are decent usually. But, on the other hand, you needed to buy a set of two anyway, so there you go, at least you get your monies worth out of it. 😛 Though, i have seen people happy with Badlands (obviously) and some kind of Louise/Duratrax shoes, i've forgotten which ones though, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Right. Credit where credits due. Ive spent a lot of time moaning about this truck, Id have long threw the towel in if my finances were better and some of you didnt convince to keep tinkering. Now, I appreciate that the environments Im using it in are far from “EXB”, and my Mrs Rustler 4x4 is doing fine on the same surfaces. Im not “sending it to the moon” etc. Im just “driving”. Now obviously any decent 1/8th truck could do this. But Im going to echo an @m4inbrain comment right at the start. Having such an over powered system (I know im turned down and not as extreme as the Castle boys) is just so perverse. It makes the truck an occasion to use. 80% of the time, Im at half throttle, BUT theres a sense of occasion tootling around. I liken it to driving a very high performance car. I once drove a Supercharged C63. The 6.2 V8 one. I only drove it for a bit, and I bet I didnt go above 50mph. But it felt so special knowing it was avaliable. On occasion, you pull full throttle, it does a backflip. But you dont need too. My criticism now, its a bit too big and honestly, you guys on the Arrma 3s bandwagon are making a lot of sense....... I want an X Maxx and an EXB 8S. But theyll be projects. What a redemption!! No idea what this place is exactly, but Ive never had so much fun chasing a Rustler 4x4 in a circle Links to a arm guards please! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M-Line doesn't even have a webpage/facebook, so it might actually be their "house-brand"? Modellbau-Metz is the only shop that appears to carry MLine. Shipping would be £14.50, but since both you guys are looking to get stuff from there (well, potentially - i'd certainly suggest Guns gets the MLine EXB guards), you maybe could split shipping? Yeah, seven quid is still rather steep shipping compared to national shipping, but doesn't really break the bank. And in terms of quality, there's at least no better mud/centreguard for the EXB - and their skids for the MT410 look pretty decent too. Now.. They say they don't ship to the UK (they ask for you to contact them) which i can certainly do for you (or translate for you, at least) - i technically could also relay (family and friends in germany), but that'd incur shipping from Metz to my mate in germany, from there to me in the UK, and from me to either of you. Sorry, i don't think there's another shop selling that stuff, at least not in the UK. 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I emailed them a few weeks ago and they don’t ship to the UK anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Hm, okay that does suck. Well.. As i said, i can parcel forward, if you wanna go down that route. Other than that, i'm out of ideas on that one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
