Fitted the bling. Weathers looking up so maybe Ill use it soon.

1 / 18th I've been very happy with my FTX tracer / Hailboxing(HBX) 16889a Pro! I highly recommend the pro model by Hbx vs FTX version it comes with the upgraded driveline, brushless and shocks and is not much more than the FTX brushed version.... It's a neat little truck! cheap parts, as FTX sell them too! For a beginner or a cheap one to keep in the boot of the car for impromptu bashes! done lots of cartwheels/roof slides/post crashes and it seems to be pretty robust! ziggy

I was all excited to get this lot today and get 3 cars up and running again. Started with the grom cvd’s only to find I’ve been sent one front and one rear?! Anyone else had anything like that with GPM parts? edit: modelsport are sending out a new set and I get to keep these. Bonus!

Final bit of wrenching for the day to see what broke in the HPI Jumpshot diff. Looks to be a sad looking sun gear. Frustratingly, I have a set of gears ordered (ordered weeks back) but the parts aren't in stock until 16th April! I was hoping it would be a snapped pin but have ended up putting everything back together minus the differential as there is no way I will remember where all the various screws went with a good 2 month wait for parts. I have always liked the WR8 but my general experience with owning an HPI has not been amazing. I have said before, but the Jconcepts parts trays are brilliant and I now have a few of these.

Installed the LCRacing bling

Started running in my new sledgehammer s50 today. Still can’t believe I got my hands on a new one…

Fitted the bling. Weathers looking up so maybe Ill use it soon.

depends on budget, at the lower end is the FTX/Hobby plus Evo models and they are very very good, i have the outback mini Texan and its superb, next up in price is the FMS FCX models, then the traxxarse models

Had the first attempt at driving or suppose riding the Promoto SM out the front of the house. First there's really not enough room to drive it there, second I think the front brake just needs to be ever so slightly more powerful. Need to find somewhere with more space and get a bit more practice with it as there's definitely a learning curve for these.

A 2s 5300mah Gens Ace pack for the Promoto.

Stuck an XT60 on the PTG-2. Slowly moving everything over to XT90 and XT60.

Finally got round to doing some maintenance on the Mojave 4s, not touched this since I had it In December and it's been my go to RC as it just works and drives so smoothly. Got to say so far this has been a joy to work on these 4s Arrmas are really growing on me. The power module thing loves to get stuck because of sand and grit but good old wiggle with a big ol' flat blade screw driver gets it moving. After all the water it went through on Sunday not much got into to the diff and most the grease was still intact so just smeared that back on where it flung off the gears and got stuck to the inside of the diff housing...yes I am that cheap 😆. Managed to save 2 out of 4 hub bearings, that's the rear done so rest will get done later in the week.

You want a light spray grease, something that is thin enough to penetrate into the bearings i use wurth hhs2000 https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwiitvOu_-GLAxXCh1AGHefJB74YABARGgJkZw&co=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAlPu9BhAjEiwA5NDSA_TEf7sX6WZe_3PQHD-TKB0AoOXRgn-zwSXUUncM5l40VrjLeu78ZxoCcCEQAvD_BwE&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESVuD2McocyPAheChoYbAh4Q2Wok8D7Jx0fUQINnOzOloaIi3y1Q3FwTWKtxojgfeyZ1yWcrGSh5VDbO6TohrA_udevEg_6vfilaujeyDYix_z_7QJNZiy&sig=AOD64_2xZQ_YZBo7UPXD5LILfvqRc3cxBQ&ctype=5&q=&ved=2ahUKEwio3-6u_-GLAxVQQEEAHc10DTQQ5bgDKAB6BAgIEAs&adurl=

Might be worth using a hand reamer rather than a drill, would be more precise.

More bling Does it need this? No. Have I spent too much money? Yes. Im just enjoying messing about and upgrading bits 🙂

Some pointless but nice bling for the Mini Maxx

Finally gave in First impression it looks awesome though I think it could do with being a little lower but I'm not going to fiddle with anything until I've put a couple of packs through it. I'm not sure when I'll get around to running it as a need a battery for it and really could do with getting a new charger so might be a good few weeks yet though hopefully by then the weather might have improved.

Tell your lad he not only 1 to knock himself off his feet lol done it up quarry good few years ago i went 1 way the tx went another and the batteries went to the 4 winds Ohh and welcome to the forum
