It wasn't even going fast, such a small thing that I didn't expect it to break that easy 😡 My Tamiya Lunchbox takes more abuse than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 That’s a shame, I bought mine knowing it will need upgrading to make reliable, all fast Axials have been the same 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

immortaljellyfish Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I just saw KT's video about this and the truck looks like a riot. Sounds like it's in need of some top-ups that aren't yet available, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 21, 2021 Author Share Posted March 21, 2021 Im taking it easy on mine till upgrades are easily availble, ive got other RC’s I can beat on and not worry about breaking 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a riot when it works, I wish they would hurry with the sway bar coz its a nightmare at full throttle 😒 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immortaljellyfish Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 As the sway bar isn't due out until May, what shocks could be used for a second set on the rear in the interim as per RCSparks' video? (sorry, bit of a noob and I still have trouble figuring part compatibility out...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWF Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I have a spare axle, so might give this a try? Did you use aluminium or steel tubing? Have you used glue to hold the inserts in? Just filled the diff’s. The centre and rear were about 1/4 full, but the front had just enough to act as lubricant! Much better now.

Popular Post .AJ. Posted March 23, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 23, 2021 As some may have noticed I’m selling off the stock electrics... Selling it all off will pay for about 2/3rd’s of the new electrics 👍 My lap top decided to die, so I’ve ordered a B-Link from Amain so I can program it all properly, but even on the stock settings it’s a huge improvement and the cogging is gone 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post fastolsen Posted March 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2021 Only tried it in the snow so far, but it seems quite fun.. Running 4s but that seems to be a bit too much power for this thing, even with low grip. Will maybe make it a little more crawling focused in the future:) Mamba X is in the wishlist 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely less cogging by the looks of it in your vid, funny I was thinking down the same route of changing the motor and esc but instead I opted for a new Power pack and motor combo for the TT-02 Rally set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the CC Mamba X from standstill with some resistance in the drivetrain? Still no cogging? And is there plenty of wheel speed to tackle som loose surface? Did you change the pinion? Many questions, sorry:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 I’ve not set the esc up properly yet, to get it as smooth as possible on start up under load you need to have the start power on Max, John Holmes did a excellent guide on how to set up the Mamba X, obviously he sets it up for a crawler, but if set you rock racer mode on the aux wire you can switch between normal fwd/brk/rev to crawler mode with a flick of a switch 👍 Ive now changed the pinion to 13t, it will be little slower than stock but I reckon I will still have plenty enough wheel speed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
