What did the postie bring you today?

[BaldyMan]

Tried it out with some road tyres too, really grippy. Made up with it so far

[MrCake]

Few bits, lower spring mount for Slash plus a couple of bits for the super cheap Mini-B Pro on route from the US.  Hope I haven't jumped the gun as it looks like the US travel will then hand off to Evri once it gets to the UK 🙄

 

Oh and a sand ladder thing for the TRX4.   The standard practice of adding weight low down to make it climb better and then putting it back on the top with stick on tat 😆

[Alex97]

Can't moan for £2.75 delivered from China, UK postage would be more than that!

Bits for the E Revo 2.0 and a brand new rear diff/bulkhead for the Mini Revo. I want to sell my Revo 1/16th and the rear diff occasionally clicks so Ill put a brand new one in before advertising it 🙂

So what's with all the different models of E Revo trucks? The 1/10 scale is huge and looks more like a 1/8 scale. What's the difference between that and the Sledge?

 

Same with the 1/10 Rustler and the 1/16 E Revo really. I'm baffled by Traxxas, they seem to have multiple products that are crossing over into each other's arena. Like why buy a Wide Maxx over an E Revo?

They do it, because mugs/fanboys like me buy them all......

 

But seriously:

 

Theres the Xmaxx. A huge 1/5th Scale Monster Truck. Runs 8S Brushless

 

Then there's the Sledge. This an all new 8th Scale Truggy. Very traditional truggy layout. Alloy Chassis, Centre Diff etc

 

The E-Revo 2.0 was an improved E-Revo which is an older R/C. It LOOKS like a traditional Truggy, but it has in board pushrod shocks. its 1/10th on paper, but is 1/8th in all honesty. It is Brushless 6s. The Summit is based on the E-Revo 1.0 Chassis, but is more crawler orientated, and has lockable diffs, two speed gearbox and a large 775 brushed motor.

 

The Maxx/WideMaxx is a 10th scale, scaled down Xmaxx, with a modular chassis set up. Runs 3-4s Brushless and  is 10th scale

 

There's then the 10th Scale 4x4s. Theyre all based on a similar platform, but have different height/length chassis. Theres The Slash 4x4, Stampede 4x4, Rustler 4x4, Hoss 4x4 and the Rally is similar layout too. These are avaliable in brushed or brushless

 

There's then the 10th Scale 2WD. Theyre all based on a similar platform, but have different height/length chassis/Wheels/Tyres/Arms. Theres the Bandit, Stampede and the Rustler. These are avaliable in brushed or brushless

 

The 1/16th Traxxas models. Theres 3, all very similar, based on a Revo chassis but smaller, with pushrod suspension. Theres a Slash/Summit/Revo. The Slash has shorter arms, and they all have unique suspension set ups, but theyre very similar

Yea I was watching videos and comparing the Stampede, Hoss and Maxx. It's like they've got a budget, mid range and top end model but then there are different spec levels in them too.

 

I was looking at the Bandit and then looked at the Associated RB10 but then the wife whinged about prices so ended up with a Vantage. At least I can spend a bit more on wheels and bit and pieces and still have money to spare on what I'd have spent on the others, because I'd still have wanted road wheels, extra batteries, stuff like that anyway.

Big pins to fix the Baja hex, still need the O-rings.

Thought of trying that, then figured I'd get the real deal. Cheers though.

Lidl is selling o rings at the moment £ 6.99 for 420 assortment in a nice case.

Just thought it might help you out 😃

[RcHov]

Something for a long weekend...

 

[BaldyMan]

New oil shocks for the Rising Fighter arrived, courtesy of www.jk-rc.co.uk. The rears are perfect but there's a bit of rebound on the fronts so I'm wondering if I need softer springs or different oil

A metal servo mount for the M05 and a pair of chassis extenders for the M03.

A very cheap Mini B from Amain!   Never ordered from them before but impressed with how quick it came and that was it then being handed over to Evri!

 

[Stormbringer]

Not today but over the week a few bits for the TRX6 well meant to be lol 

Unfortunately i made a mistake with the wheels they are 1.9 not 2.2  

I had weighted them up etc and when coming to fit the tyres i realised my faux pau but never mind the TRX4 and DC1 will get new wheels lol

mini b is a cracking piece of kit, im amazed how my non pro rtr one handles converted from brushed to brushless 6100kv on 2s, its better than a lot of my 10 scales 😄

 

i get a wee bit torque steer to one way if i ram the throttle quickly, im soon gonna try the hex adapters i bought a while back to get 10 scale touring car wheels on it as my original tyres are a bit slicked out on the back 😛

 

edit: got rpm suspension arms for it too but not broke the stock ones yet, yep rpm do parts for it  🙂

Ah thanks was it you who said about it?  Nice one if it was!!  I tried to search on the forum but that doesn't seem to bring up status thingies!? 

 

I was surprised how well it went and have seen this kinds of deals before but assumed it was US only!

I can't wait to get it going but sadly it might not be for a couple of weeks now.  Not 100% sure where I will run, this but anything I can put in a rucksack is a winner imo,

Hopefully a full set of stainless for my TRX4 (I’ve ordered over) at quite a loss less than the Traxxas price. From GWR fasteners . However Traxxas specifies some odd lengths (23, 27mm) so I’ve gone over and under on lengths and hopefully I don’t need to trim anything.

Full stainlees is a good idea
