    Tempted to try and mount hpi Dirtbonz 3.2 tyres to Traxxas 3.8 Geordie wheels.Hmmmm

    1. mydoddy69

      mydoddy69

      I have mounted 2.8 tires to 3.2 rims before quite an easy job to do .. Your combination thou is a tad tighter. should be doable thou good luck with it

    2. martin34

      martin34

      Thanks mate.is it as simple as just cutting off the inside bead of the tyre?

    3. mydoddy69

      mydoddy69

      That's all i did and take the extra lip of the rim if you have one.. Befor you go cut them thou just check to see if you get a nice flat contact point before you start to glue them !!

    I emailed KP to see why they dont do jumbo sized dry roasted nuts but havent had a reply.They do other flavours in jumbo size so why not dry roasted?

    1. ch!ef

      ch!ef

      probably dont roast right

    2. martin34

      martin34

      Tescos do thier own ones tho but Tesco dry roasted nuts are horrible.

  16. martin34

    Silly question time.I want to dye my nitro fuel tank blue.Do i die it inside and out or just the outside?

    1. hebby

      hebby

      Just outside I would think :-/

    2. martin34

      martin34

      Thanks Hebby.i was thinking that as maybe the nitro would wash off the dye on the inside

  17. martin34

    Ordered some hot Racing ali rear knuckles for my savage xs.There are some nice hopups starting to filter through now:)

    1. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      Hot Racing makes some real nice parts, where did you order from? liquid rc?

    2. martin34

      martin34

      I think it was bizzare hobbies on ebay US.there is a HR bell crank steering upgrade on there aswell.All ali with 3 different springs and bearings which the stock xs doesnt have.

  18. martin34

    To charge a 300mah lipo what charge rate should i use?

    1. .AJ.

      .AJ.

      0.3a

    2. martin34

      martin34

      Cheers A.J

  19. martin34

    If my lipo is slightly warm but my motor is virtually cold,does that mean I am under geared?

    1. Noj

      Noj

      Yes, so gear up two teeth on the pinny and do some test runs, checking all temps as you go.

       

      Remember, all components in the electrickery chain will be warm under normal operating conditions.

    2. martin34

      martin34

      Thanks noj.I will look for a new bigger pinion

  20. martin34

    Just deanodised all the purple from my savage flux but forgot the servo saver tube thing!!!

    1. Fluclear

      Fluclear

      What did you use to do that? I might de-purple my Flux parts too.

    2. martin34

      martin34

      I used costic soda.A bowl of water with some of the costic soda takes the anodising off in no time but dont make the mixture to strong or it will burn the ali.

  21. martin34

    20/54 gearing in an e revo with a leopard 2000kv motor and 4s.Does that sound a good starting point?

    1. Carlton

      Carlton

      im running 17/40 on 4s with an xerun 2000kv motor and it runs sweet.

      no good for 6s but then i am happy with the speed this has on 4s.

  22. martin34

    Just dug the mini Hyper st out of the shed.The engine is probably not to good for being down there for so long.I wander what engine would be a good upgrade?
