.AJ. Posted February 28, 2022 Author Share Posted February 28, 2022 They did update it for the VS2, knowing Hobao it will probably fit older models 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BashingBrian Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Just curious what was the shipping cost from Hobao ?? 11 days seems like an average Hong Kong/China delivery time 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expected delivery keeps creeping up. Currently saying 11th April. A painful wait for me. Will think twice before ordering again from them.

.AJ. Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Motor fitted with a RW Racing 15t pinion The supplied heat sink/fan mount won’t fit with this motor, which is a bit annoying because I bought a nice Centro fan to mount to it 😂 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BashingBrian Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 You should have looked at the Corally Torox 185 it's cheaper and better than it's brother the Max8..!!👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrCake Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Is this Max8 v3 different to the one that comes with say the 2200KV motor bundle? Never seen V3 mentioned on those bundles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Na they are all the same, the Ezrun V1 and v2 were older designs that looked completely different 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted March 5, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2022 I wasn’t really happy with the RX wire wiring, so modified the RX box, originally there is a channel under the alloy plate that runs from the servo to the rear and then all the RX wiring enters in to the RX box through one rubber grommet, I cut out the channel inside the RX box so the servo wire enters this way and is now completely hidden, the esc wire now enters the box through what would have been the exit and into the box through the new hole, the fan wire is now the only one to use the original rubber grommet…. I’m sure it will make no sense unless you have seen the exact rx box 😂 Before After 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 This is the RX box, you can see the channel at the back, I cut some of it out so the cables could enter that way instead of the rubber grommet 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .AJ. Posted March 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 9, 2022 Bought a Noble to control the beast, also had a set of 20%+ springs arrive, I fitted one and I’m not convinced they are stiffer than stock, my mate has a Losi shock tester I’m going to borrow and check them 👍 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 Picked up a spare body, not knowing how spare availability will be in the future £42 with shipping from MK Racing/TRX Shop in Austria, again this shows what a rip off other manufacturers prices are….. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
