High speed chit chat thread and banter

Surely the postal damage was the delivery company's mistake, not MS? Or was it not packaged correctly? In which case it would be Hobao's problem.

It was not packed correct hence the damage but we have a very good second reply from MS, they are back in the good books, they ask me to peel a bit of the film send pics and they will get a replacement shell from Hobao

Modelsport will keep you right 👍

nice 1 mate result 

[Lone-wolf]

as a bonus mootr arrived today so managed to drop that and steering servo in

[Stormbringer]

woohoo its taking shape already 

[Redback]

Fixed the gps speedo with a drone battery, also found the gps can be powered from the reciver, so even if your batteries dead you can still get data woohoo.
Gave the DR10 its first speedcheck 🐌

 

 

Did try another pass 39 every time, seems thats how fast they come as stock.
Upgrade wise probably going to take out the 3000kv motor and put in a 4400kv+ and max10stc so can try it on 4s later 🤕

Bought it used mate just needed Tx and rx . Came with 6s esc/motor ,different rate shock springs, sway bars and spur gears .Looks near new and was a good price .power leads can run single or twin packs but only upto 6s 
4076 2000kv motor 👍
 

Trying to solder a cap pack on it but only managing to burn the crap out of my fingers lol

Its 3s in series to 6s only or hes got a loop, so can run a single 4s battery for example.
What cap pack did you go for?

It’s a 2-8s ripple monster whatever that is, it’s the first time I’ve bothered with so I’m pretty clueless

Ok nice, just saw your pinion size, i almost doubled the pinion size on my hyper think i was on 14t and moved to 22t, 3s is the new 4s and 4s is like 6s used to be. Can defintly go up some pinion teeth for a decent speed boost on that setup.

im just messing about with setting it up whilst reading GMballistic’s Arrma thread (again 🙂) for tips

Was this bought from the UK or one of Phillip Jolley ones from the US of A?

This was from from a UK seller , one of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rc-parts-accessories-cap-pack-ripple-pack-esc-brushed-brushless-Ripple/194000467100

I don’t know I thing about these so don’t know if it’s good,rubbish, working or not but it’s in and the esc is working 👍

[Lone-wolf]

Im not rushing to get or fit a cap pack, i will be on slow 4s to start any way, but might need one at later date, seems you can make a cap pack very cheap if you have an idea of what mf caps to get

Yeah I thought about making one  but by the time you buy the bit’s and bobs and mess on with soldering it didn’t seem worth it .

I got for it £20 delivered so not too bad 👍

The Hyper GT is looking done, but still got more to do under the shell

Ooooh I like that mate, I like that a lot 🤩 

That rear window looking in on the shocks is epic 

[Derka]

That looks awesome @Jack Reacher, great work. 

 

Like @tomr said that rear view in looks cool. Kinda reminds me of the old BMW M Coupe. 

 

[Stormbringer]

Looking good Jack 

[everclear1984]

Very nice mate! Looking forward to seeing the thing run.

[tomr]

Seeing how the Jumpshot is out of action at the min I’ve turned my attention to the VS .

 

I think I’m ready for another speed crash....I mean speed run 😬

 

I’m still waiting on a set of s4 GRP’s to be delivered but I’ll run what I have until they do .
