.AJ. Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 Yeah, I’ve fitted the M2C retainers and fit lovely, no way they are backing out, I’ll put a ear plug in the centre diff over the weekend when I have a bit more spare time 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .AJ. Posted July 26, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 26, 2022 Ear plugged the centre diff It’s definitely stiffer than the 20million wt that was in as stock, the black blob is the stock grease/putty 😂 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post .AJ. Posted August 11, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 Plan B The fit and finish of Todd’s case is excellent, for now I’ve just recycled the fans that came with Sky RC blower and I will replace them with matching Centro fans with carbon covers like I’ve put on the blower Ignore the esc fan wiring, I’ll get the wiring gear out at the weekend and get it tidied up and a bit safer 🤣🤣🤣 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .AJ. Posted August 12, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2022 Fitted the sweet CRCU braces and now have a plan for the fan wiring Cosmo gave me a hand For the fan wiring I’m planning to make a little shelf above the servo saver and mount a small project box on it and stuff all the connectors and excess fan wiring into it 👍 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Nice man, great read. Very helpful. I've just picked up a K8 EXB, Hobbywing 800Kv MAX5 combo. Interesting stuff with your gearing, good to hear your settled on 30/47, are you still running that ?? I'm going with 30/39 and see how I get on. Much like yourself, I have no desire to be climbing towards three figures with this, I prefer the torque. Yeah, those HB fans are pointless. Those mud guards look great, I fancy a set of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 30/39 sounds good, I reckon it will run super cool and have a really good runtime 👍 Talking or fans, ive just taken them all off again, pointless having them in the weather we have now, the mud guards are of more use 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Hahaha, yeah those mud guards look well handy. Do you mind me asking where you got them from ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 17, 2022 Author Share Posted August 17, 2022 I can’t remember where I bought them, but there’s a set on eBay 👍 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325299701854?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=uiYySV_qTHi&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=El0DyfSqRf-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suits Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Hey man, how do you find the body clips ?? Mine are bloody militant !! I'm going to have to find a solution, I can't loose anymore fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 Yeah they are a pain, I’m not too bothered about them though 😂 Ideally to make them a bit easier to use clips with thinner diameter wire would work better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
