Short vid of the GT24R running on 3s in the car park. Tarmac is a bit rough for such a small car but it still ran OK. Set the Quicrun ESC to it's softest punch setting as I wanted to be as gentle as possible on the drivetrain. Worked well as the slipper didn't squeal at all. Also set the brakes and reverse to 25%.

Sorted out the front suspension setup

Hi all, My scalers aren't as scale like as a lot of others in here, but they're a work in progress just now. This is a picture from years ago of my AX10 with an X-Trail chassis, alloy 4 links, weighted 2.2's on RC4WD wheels and Flat Irons. The shell was air brushed as well. I was super lucky and won it in a raffle from another RC model site a long time ago. It's went a few changes since then and hopefully a few more coming up. Lack of recent pics as it's kinda inbits a little and it's not been ran in about 6 years. Just now i'm mainly running my older style orignal SCX10 Honcho. I was lucky enough to get a Honcho that had the AE-2 ESC, but it had the awful driveshafts and output shafts on the axels and gearbox. For most trailing / crawling i use a Tamiya 27t dirt tuned motor with a 15t pinion and it gives good scale wheel speed both low down and top end. Normally i'll use my heavily weighted 1.9 wheels & tyres but i think i need to rethink how heavy i made them. My fronts are about 300g each! Lately it's not been "as scale" as much. It's more like a scale basher. I've been running it on the local beach which is mostly hard packed sand with some rough bits but mostly flat. Because of the lack of hills and stuff i've been running 2.2's and a 12t 550 motor with 20t pinion to make it a bit more exciting. Doesn't take long to switch it back to a more sensible trail rig.

Ordered my new Mcd xs5 on Tuesday turned up Friday morning, excellent service from rc fox, got a brushless conversion and a x5 rally conversion kit on the way too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Must admit, I do like to jump my SCX10 too! Hardly a scaler but thought I'd post a picture or two anyway, many of you have seen it before.

Don't know which of the 2 I prefer. Lovely jobs - both of them. Al.

Well managed to get it out today. Awesome fun. Now all I want is more power lol. Completely box stock. Filmed by my 5 year old so excuse him laughing at me lol.

Thanks for that! <slaps head> I'm actually really chuffed it can do that! Ringo

I don't know about the overlander but i gave up with waiting for balancing storage as well on mine. Not as important when storing. I now use 1 of 2 options: If I was using a 2200 I would: 1: when used and 20% left in it (440mah) to get to 50% it needs another 660mah I would charge as normal at 2.0A, set "safety timer" cutoff to 20 minutes . After 20 mins it will stop and have put in 666mah 2000 / 60 = 33.3 x 20 = 666mah. Or 2: Set "capacity cutoff" to 660mah and charge as normal. Will shut off when 660mah has been put in.

I usually put clear sticky film under any new RC as my OCD personality can't handle new things getting scratched lol

That's better

took my mini 8 to the 8th track, didn't go too well got a video of a proper sized buggy though to make up for it!

X2 still alive, ordered a zenoah g320 to fit and stock engine into a hpi baja. Baja goes great but glad i swapped all the km clutch etc over, the x2 worked great but after taking the clutch etc off to fit engine into baja 1 of the 2 clutch shoes was badly worn, 1 looked new and 1 very worn, not good but worked ok or it seemed like it did, km clutch into the bin

To be honest, I remember my little Blackfoot well, and the little Mabuchi 540 had plenty of power and torque - loads of donuts on concrete surfaces!! Al.

Hoy in those bearings, then grab one of these: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-quicrun-1060-brushed-waterproof-esc-sbec/rc-car-products/404964 and one of these: https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hpi-firebolt-15t-motor-540-type-/rc-car-products/29609 and enjoy! Just ask Noj

I love a good build thread. I've even read some about the smelly rigs.

Sounds pretty sweet, taking a modest Lunchbox to a new level

Standard Tamiya silver can 540 motor is 27t.. John

Funny ! i need to shoot some vids

Took me a few tries to get the msc set up properly, the hoke that the control arm goes in to is worn so it wouldnt shut off either forward then reverse. A bit of adjustment got it sorted but ill look into getting an electronic one

Got enough MCD's?

I use a drill on the rods makes life a breeze but I still add the grease makes life easier when adjusting

Your a bad influence Sean, I'm blaming you to my wife when the bill comes in for the P3S! sat there last night playing with the Dji Go app, then thought sod it, I'm treating myself!

Yep, removed front and rear end and the drive shaft slid out with a little wiggling. I've had it out since without removing the front end.

This would be the norm go to one. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hobbywing-Quicrun-WP-8BL150-150A-Waterproof-Brushless-Motor-ESC-RC-1-8-Car-Buggy-/251691114735?hash=item3a99f5a0ef:g:PuQAAOSwMtxXvQ9v These seem fine too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GoolRC-150A-2-6S-LiPo-Battery-Sensored-Brushless-ESC-for-1-8-RC-Car-Latest-J9N0-/111907377671?hash=item1a0e331207:g:dAkAAOSwUuFWwtSx

Sending a pm

It will have the tf40 radio gear 2.4ghz so will be short

That's a good deal! Now go stick a castle 2650kv in it lol

Some nice rigs there. Thanks for sharing. Al.

One of my favourite pictures of this body. Soon to be updated however....

Payment sent

That's running very nicely. Always nice to see / hear a well tuned nitro after all of the electric trucks - just seems 'right'. Al.

Nice, damn fine rigs.

Axial Wraith kit - first voyage into crawler ownership!

Fitted White Knuckle RC trailing arms and upper links to the YXL

It'd need one if you were still running the stock ESC!

They look bob on Prae. How I ever managed to offer pertinent crawlerzzzzzz assistance is a mystery though.....

Took it out for the maiden run today, nothing broken and some decent speeds on 6s, 7&8s to be tried when its dry as it's just wheel spinning and drifting constantly, just needs a good clean now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Couple of photos after a few minutes' test in the garden: All nice and clean - no accidents! Lucky as the new servos are reversed wrt the previous Savox ones. Totally silent as well!! Al.

Nice to see an old Blackfoot being brought back to life. Have you ordered the bearings yet? http://www.rcbearings.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=144&search=King+blackfoot John

Too busy having fun mate, I even managed to scratch the chassis lol, it is a working machine and is starting to look used instead of just sitting there, horay

There'd have to be some clever electrickery in the ESC to give some sort of "Torque Vectoring" effect.

Hi it would help if you said what the model actally is as it will enable people to offer better advice.

Around the announcement of the XMaxx, you could get amazing Rhino 8400mah 3S lipo's from Hobby King. I bought two, cancelled my pre order so sold them to @bunnie I think. Wish I still had them.

not money bags at all, I work hard, I work long hours, when possibly others are doing 9-5, try modifying a full size car! expensive is not the word!

Looks like the inner beads were never glued lol

Cheap and cheerful Mardave 7
