Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted August 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2021 I have reverted back to the stock wheels for now, i found in damp woodland they clogged badly and stayed that way, but on a happy note i can shoehorn a 2s 2200mah lipo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomr Posted October 30, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 30, 2021 A short vid of the Ranger XC 1/16 I think the new tyres may have broken in as it seemed to perform much better in this run. Next job is to stick some heavier shock oil in the shocks, the weight of the body is a little too much for the stock oil. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
