Jumper Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 3 minutes ago, No brains said: 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. I always look for rust on bolts. Also cars that say they are waterproof tend to get run in the wet as well. Got to be extremely careful buying used rc cars. Another good thing to do is message seller before hand ask them if where they ran it, if they have other models etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jens Posted October 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2020 The first parts for my TRX-4 rebuild have arrived. The fun is starting... My G500 will look like fresh out of "Pimp my ride". Alloy gear box and front axle ( some of the axle parts will be replaced with heavier brass parts that I already have ) Motor mount with an option to fix a cooling fan (Just in case I am too afraid to cool it down again in sea water ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Not both today and not both RC specific, but I do fancy messing around with the slowmo in the Note20 Ultra. And smoke bombs, just because they might be fun to use too 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jens Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Just arrived 5 min ago. What a pleasure. Yodel is doing a late night delivery shift. TRX-4 bottom plate just below the gear box. And it is open so no muddy water can be trapped inside again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babylon Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Well, You know that bit about wanting an AIO for the new PC build, But couldn't resist that cheap Chinese air cooler with the flashing lights, Well turned out that when I went to put it on, The fan covered 2 of the Ram sticks, Now I didn't pay 110 quid for 4 sticks of RGB ram for 2 of them to be covered up by a black fan, So that went back, And back the other way came that AIO I should have got the first time around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
