Lone-wolf Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Bit of Banggood browsing this morning resulted in a great find a 5000mah 120C 2s hard case lipo but the shortie version jumped at it for £20 as it will sit nicely in front of the rear axle adds weight but not gonna make it rear heavy, and should give close on 3 hours crawl time 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted May 9, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2022 I now have a shortie 5000mah 2s from Banggood for the Injora, of course this will give much longer run times than the 2200mah i was using and add a little more weight but in the right place 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 What i strongly believe to be final mod done to this Injora/Axial crawler buggy, she now has an Axial gearbox fitted to get rid of the horrid whinny Injora one, this Axial one came out of my FS racing and i have fully stripped it cleaned it lubed it and replaced all bearings with decent rubber shielded, it was worth it, it now sounds sweet. I have re named the thread as there is more Axial parts in this than original parts now ha ha 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derka Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Looking good, quite interesting. I've always leaned towards a more 'scale' looking crawlers/trail trucks. Had various over the years, SCX10's, SCX10.2's, Elements, TRX4... Now really thinking I'd like a dedicated crawler... Be it a Element Ecto/Gatekeeper (although very similar to my Knightrunner just different body) and giving it big wheels, wide stance. The Axial RR10 Bomber and Ryft are too expensive for me but maybe this Injora could be a interesting project to tickle along with.. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What replacements can you use that are stronger? Just trying to price up what it needs and the costs Vs Gatekeeper kit. How much money does it need putting in to be reliable roughly? Also, where is best to buy them? I've seen them on Amazon for £119 without wheels and a tad cheaper direct from Injora.

The axle weak part is the CVD joint at steering hub, but replacement parts are cheap about £5 for a pair. You can get the body only for about £30 and then get axles and links plus gearbox and stuff, i bought my Injora direct about £90 with no wheels as i knew i would use what i had, your gonna have a hard call on getting this or getting the Gatekeeper kit, or even the Gmade R1 kit, i was lucky having some spare axles and such but i guess i have spent about £140 on mine not including the shortie lipo, i had radio and ESC so i had to get decent servo and better shocks, i also got better driveshafts from transmission and brass axle extenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 8, 2023 Author Share Posted April 8, 2023 Okay, yesterday this little budget truck blew me away with how it performed, it put a lot of very expensive rigs to shame...................but always room for improvement, seems the spur gear is not running true, so its getting an axial transmission out of the spares box and i have ordered a 45t motor that should get rid of the squeak, squeak, squeak. The tyres i have on did okay, in fact for budget Hyrax clones they did pretty good but it will get a new set of tyres, it has proved itself worthy of better rubber, so going to look into what i feel best for it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted April 10, 2023 Author Share Posted April 10, 2023 ordered the Injora/Austar proline copies 121x45mm watched a bunch of youtube video`s and it does seem these are extremely close to the proline version..........also ordered a quickrun 1080 esc for finer control, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
