KV might be a little higher than I’d want for a carnage but that can be compensated for by fitting a smaller pinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally a true 540 would be nice but that one you have there should do just fine as long as it’s geared correctlySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 The motor will be ok, I used to run the OG Ezrun 4300kv in a Tamiya Durga many many years ago and it ran just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Thanks for the replies on the 540 ish motor, i will give it a try as i have it, i now have a 15T pinion to gear it down, if its not right i can always order a 3650 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MGone Posted October 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2020 This wee beastie jumped out of the postbox this morning! Dead easy to use If you want to be able to make your own balance leads, extensions or have other small crimp needs these make the job super easy. I had intended to just get the right jaws for my Paladin crimper, but those were more expensive and on back order so thought I'd give these a chance...and only £25 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGone Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Update....have just seen them on eBay for £20...if you’re happy to wait for the post from China. Although when I have done that it’s been pretty fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Not been too active around here of late, Just fell back into that falling out of love with RC part of my life, But I have been putting the bits together for a new PC build, Just picking up bits here and there as they come up cheapish, And the last two bits turned up today. First we have the case which is a Cougar MX410-T Mesh, I accept it's one of the cheap brands, But since people don't really move there cases about to Lan parties like they did in the old day, I'm not sure you need to spend a 100 quid on a case to just sit on or under your desk, 44 quid gave me a tempered glass side, 4 ARGB fans and 2 RGB light strips down the front. Next is the power supply, Won it on eBay for £45 delivered new and still wrapped, So that was a bargain. Then we have storage, Took advantage of Prime day good and proper, A 250GB Kingstone A2000 NVME for boot duties for £27, A 500 Gig one for £45, And a Crucial 480 Gig BX500 SSD for £38, And a spare 250 Gig I had laying about. Also we have 32Gig of ADATA Spectrix D60G RGB Memory, Another bargain at £110, Bought one set for 60 quid, Then the next day it went down to 50 quid, After I got over having the hump with it going down a tenner, It would have been rude not to buy another kit. Then we have the cooler, Now I was all after getting an AIO, But I was on Amazon and saw this for 22 quid, And I just had to have it, To be fair, It's pretty well built and all RGBed up, And for £22 it's gotta be worth a punt. Then we have the motherboard and Processor, I was just gonna get a B450 of some sort and save myself 50 quid, But I picked up this and a Ryzen 3600 for £309, And I liked the look of it, And I can get a £25 rebate with Rate My Gear from ASUS, Now I know some are gonna be saying why not just wait for the Ryzen 5 5600X, Because the 5600X is gonna cost at least 260, 270 quid, Making it £100 or more over the 3600, And the supposed uplift is just not worth that over the 3600. Your better off putting that £100 towards the GPU. Last we have the Graphics card which is a Strix RX570, This is a cheat cos I already had this laying about from a build from last year that I never sold cos you never know when you may need a graphics card, But this is just a place holder until we see what Big Navi has to offer, And see were the prices fall with the RX5700XT, And see if Nvidia adjust the price of the RTX3070 after seeing what AMD want price wise for Big Navi. Pretty pleased so far, I've come in at £640 minus the graphics card, So if I can pick up a RX5700XT or equivalent for about 250, (Which is the most I will shell out for a graphics card) I'll be under a grand and happy.

everclear1984 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) Not the postie, but I went and collected this little lot I still have loads to go through, going to keep me busy for a while! I'll be putting up sale ads as I confirm things are working, but if anyone sees anything they like the look of in the meantime feel free to shoot me a pm.

No brains Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 a 2 hand ruster 4x4 vxl, I bought it for 200 euro thought it could be a cheap project because I allready have a spare maxx sct esc and castle 1410 3800kv motor, sold the esc, transmitter and servo for 80 euro, so I tought 120 for a roller is not bad. But the car was in a horreble state all bolts are rusted out so are the bearings and rod ends, killed a ring gear trying to get a bearing of it that was rusted on to it , driveshafts are gone, diff cups with no seals or washer in it and a lot of broken parts and things missing. So far it is not going to be cheap, ondered all the spare parts and was going a little nuts on upgrade parts so in the end I spend 400 euro on parts and upgrades😬. lesson learned, not going to buy a second hand car again without seeing it in person, it is not the firts time I burned my hands on a second hand car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
