Tamiyacowboy Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) hi josh you may want to try "HERE" for your hopup parts mate the manual will say what hopups are avalible mate and there part numbers then all you need to do is lookup the numbers in the link i posted also the twin detonator and wild willy 2 gear parts fit your wild dagger there is no difference in part numbers so spare diff gears and sutch wont be a problem TC Edited June 1, 2005 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD FORCE Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Thre arnt many hop ups for the Wild dageer........ Its basicly a first time car.... ← Ditto, and if you want to change the motors you better get a very good ESC (traxxas EVX). 2 motors is alot of handle but if you do it, it will be a treat to drag race Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Yeah i was finding it hard to find esc's with two motor connectors but ill look up the traxxas, any suggesdtions for cheap fast motors cos sadly being 15 does limit your budget lol Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD FORCE Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Twin titans 550:P 20 quid a piece and will produce alot of torque. Bascally using the E-Maxx set-up the dagger will be much much faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyper-harry Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 for £15 isn't much in the world of rc save up some more and get some titans for £40 the pair brand new or look on ebay you might find some bargains. But if you never look your never know!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 8, 2005 Author Share Posted June 8, 2005 So when you say using the e-maxx set up does this mean that hop-up parts for the emaxx can be used on the wild dagger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 no josh im afraid they mean the esc motor setup use a traxxas esc and two emaxx motors magnetic mayhem are good motors mate to put in the dagger trust me all the power you will need TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samari Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Longer lasting and more powerfull batteries would be your best bet. GP matched batts would be cool but might be too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 It's a brilliant brashing truck, it's just a shame that Tamiya, just bits n bobs by them, didn't do more hop ups. Most of whats available for the truck are state-side so for us to get them it would cost quite a bit. Mine has been hopped up with; LRP F1 Pro reverse esc, Jaguar 17t motors, sealed brgs, and I'm waiting for a set of T-Maxx shocks and masher 2k's and I'm also going to experiment with 8.4v batteries as the twin battery chassis's that are out there aren't cheap! Anyway guy's here's a few sites that you can feast your eyes on. Wild Dagger forum Custom RC Models RC4WD.COM R2-C2.COM INTRC.COM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 So where did you buy nost of your parts from?America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 How can you connect up 2 motors to the LRP F1 Pro reverse esc doesnt it only have one set of motor connectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamski Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Nah, from my lhs here in Norwich, TC might know them as well, Kellers nr the "Mall". They don't import from any of the listed suppliers, you'd have to do that yourself. I might one day, who knows. The "Wild Dagger forum" is obviously dedicated to that chassis and is very informative and some of the guys have made there own twin battery chassis's and have left for all, the chassis and shock tower templates for anyone to copy and have made, or if you've got the tools/know how to diy. For me tho, it has to be the "custom rc models" site as it shows that you don't need to buy/make shock towers to use Maxx size shocks. Any advise/help don't hesitate to ask me.

matthod128 Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I wouldn't bother adding another battery pack if i were u. Just add another couple of cells (you'll be suprised how well it works) + have u upgraded the stock shocks yet? I have a dagger and have added some cheap XXL traxxas shocks using custom towers from America. They work great! My dagger shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 ok here we go motors : normaly only work one way so timing is advanced, the proble here is running to motors will try and pull your truck apart not a very good thing. E maxx motors are only advanced timed you would need to retard one of the motors so it would have reverse timing (hard to explain ) ok coneccting motors is simple to run from a esc that only runs one motor normaly so with both motors layed down on floor one behind the othe we will start on the front motor you need to solder two long cables these will joint to the other motor. take the plus cable from the front motor and solder this too the minus on the rear motor. now take the minus cable from the front motor and solder this to the plus on the rear motor. now you have two motors joined. taking the front motors plus wire strip this alittle so you can solder an extension to motor plus cable on the esc. then take the minus cable on the front motor and strip this so you can solder an extension to the minus motor cable on the esc. you now have two motors running from esc that usualy uses 1 motor. WARNING your esc will smoke if you dont heed advice on motor turns. i ADVISE you only use a max of 17t on a no limit esc as you still run the risk of drawing to much current through your esc and killing it. DONT hold me responsable if you use this method and smoke your esc. this is a do at your own risk modification. either seal your solder joins with shrink wrap or with good quality electrical tape tou could also fit a deans on the esc extensions to motors. thanks of reading and hope it helps TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
