I like it 👍 I've been wanting a trailer to tow my Savage to and from bash spots but it would have to be HUGE. It's about the same wheelbase as the DC1, but much wider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everclear1984 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 They might work, but I definitely won't be paying £100+ for a trailer. I'll just keep lugging it around in my Turnigy Hauler backpack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not happy with the shocks though, I see an upgrade coming in the not so distant future. I'm much happier with the decals now that they're a bit dirty, I really wasn't sure on them at first. 🤫 Can't seem to get rid of this guy?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 yeh it just keeps going and going as you say tho i feel as well the shocks arnt the best for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPeaski Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Great looking trucks, I'm hoping to be getting one myself in the near future. I've had a look at both @Stormbringer and @everclear1984 build threads, but neither mention things like shock oil, diff grease or window masks. Are they within the build kit or are these things I would need to get at the time of ordering. Any recommendations/links etc As with both of the above builds, id go for the Hobbywing Quicrun 1080 ESC and 35T motor and similar servos 2s or 3s battery? Any advice would be appreciated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice would be appreciated Everything you need is in the kit, except for electrics. I run 3s because I find 2s under powered when the going gets really rough, though for general trail use 2s would be plenty. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Im running mine on 2s but owing to lockdown not really had chance try it out except in garden ohh they even supply thread lock in the kit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
