Is there a reason to not go brushless sensored, other than costs? 

I think the fact brushed motors are a lot happier around water than sensored brushless are the main factor along with the cost

Guys, if you can remember, roughly how long (in hours) did it take you to build the kit?

Any one on here still got stock DC1 tyres, if so could you measure diameter and width of them please

[Stormbringer]

Just measured 1 up and they are about 116 diameter and 44 wide

Top man, thanks for that and fast reply, thinking of putting a set on a crawler

[Stormbringer]

The Canyons are approx 118 mm

Who has still got their DC1?.mine is still going strong and currently Rog of choice to chuck in the car boot when going walking.

[Stormbringer]

I still have mine but it hasnt been used in quite a while tho 

[MrPeaski]

I still have mine, but like @Stormbringermine hasn't been out for quite a while.

I check the LiPo every so often and top up the storage charge when needed though

Yeah even the FB group is very quiet. My youngest lad uses it so obviously he's not concerned about ability etc.

 

[Lone-wolf]

I have zero regret at selling my one, yeah it was a nice looking model but not a strong performer, my FTX Texan has been and is way better

Broken another CVD pin anyone know where you can get just the pins from as £25 for a pair of front shafts is a tad ott.

You could try a dowel pin if you know the size.

Cheers mate, i've looked online for the size but to no avail, hopefully someone on here knows it. In the mean time I will dial back my steering to try and avoid this in the future.

Managed to get some pins so all sorted now apart from the cvd coupler is missing on one of my shafts and can't seem to find a replacement anywhere.

 

Also is anyone looking at selling their dc1 for a reasonable price?
