I know I've missed the good weather but only just had free time to work on it. Prep and prevention work first of stripping it all down for checking, greasing, lubing, threadlocking plus swapping all fixings over to stainless steel. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JonnyUK Posted November 24, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2022 Decided on a bit of orange here... ...and some air scoops for cooling here... Now I'm on with rigging up some custom front lights, I have an idea but it might not work out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyroo Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Looks good, and a great way of getting some cooling air in. What have you used for your splitter? Need to make one myself but not sure what to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As planned, if I find out that I need extra cooling I can always add some ducting to each intake and direct the airflow over both the motor and the esc. It's the OEM splitter, I just covered the top side in self adhesive vinyl. Edited November 24, 2022 by JonnyUK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyroo Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Ah, ok. Thanks for the reply. Was trying to save my original but think its going to be easier to mod it rather than make a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Love the air scoops @JonnyUK , ...did you make them yourself or buy them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought them, pretty sure they are for a nitro boat. I did originally intend to fit one onto this and the other on a UDR, but ended up fitting both to this. I'll probably buy another one for the centre of the hood on the udr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyUK Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 Just a bit of fun modifying the stock plastic tailpipes with some alloy tube and some leds. VID_20221201_185937397.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyUK Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 I'm mid way through adding lights front and rear, I always aim to use parts I already have kicking around. I made a plastic tray, stuck foam onto it, and strapped the battery for the lights here at the front. The tray is fixed down using the original screws, the foam is from some packaging on TRX4 parts, the strap is a spare from something else. The battery is a 2s lipo 1200mAh, leftover from some Absima transmitters I used to use. The charger charges via the balance lead only so I cut off the other connector and soldered on the JST type that I always use. The good thing about this lipo is that it has a low voltage cut off built into it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 adding lights to scale/semi scale moels makes all the diference to them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyUK Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Still a few little bits to sort but the lights are pretty much finished. The fronts are the old ones from a crawler, I think they were baja lights or something like that. Little bit larger than needed so I had to trim the tops and make a little cover brow. I swapped out the edge leds and soldered some orange ones in place. I was going to have the front orange lights on a separate switch but I prefer all of them lit together, rears I can unplug just the orange or reds if needed. I think I need to add a thin black trim to the edge of the mesh grill, I reckon it would look a little better but it depends if I can find something to fit. My phone struggled with the lit shots but you get the idea hopefully. Just the reds... ...and just the orange. They are all reasonably bright in person, the headlights are ridiculously bright! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyUK Posted January 10, 2023 Author Share Posted January 10, 2023 Not decided yet but I think I might part ways with this, I kind of prefer stadium trucks/desert racers. Makes more sense living here anyway. I'll decide next month...maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Don't sell it keep it other wise you'll regret it even if you don't use it much, I speak from experience. Sold both my Felony and Infraction and have never regretted selling an RC more than I did with these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
