just bought a brushless system for my trx4.
one of the hobby wing 2300kv 2 in one systems.
hopefully when im fitting it i can find out whats going on in the gear box on low gear as i get a weird noise from it unless im on high gear, maybe the servo is pushing a gear in too much or not enough 🙂
-
if ur looking to get into racing hunt down a local club and see what they are running and what their opinions are 🙂

yesterday i let my niece use the ftx mini crawler i won from here and she loved it, still a long ways to go for her controlling models properly but she had a blast and the wee transmitter was a lot better for her 🙂 fitted a alloy gear box guard to the wild one which looks like it should provide a lot of protection to it and the motor 🙂
-
does your grey one love home made jerky, mine goes nuts any time i eat some around her lol
-
cheers bud, yeh the bbx is tempting me as well, i really want the team associated rc 10 gold tub re release but its over 400 quid so i went for the wild one instead 🙂
-
just got some pics of the lights, that should be good for late night or winter driving, just the cheapo fast trax ones plugged in batt channel on rx 🙂 dark room pic 🙂

had the wild one out yesterday for its first test run and i love it, had a problem with range which i supsect was due to the slightly dodgy servo i put in it, found a much better servo for it but not tried it yet, also had to dremel a few wee bits to get my big batteries to fit nice 🙂 my wee neice was out to play with me as well on the first test run and was all excited for me to play with her again out side the house so let her try the grasshopper, she knows how to do full speed ahead into things or steering but not both at the same time lmao and no damage to the hopper 🙂 think ill get that wee mini ftx crawler i won from here charged up as the transmitter is tiny and a crawler will let her get used to the controls 🙂
-
yay the wild one is almost finished, need to do something about getting the front lights on it now 🙂
-
That looks pretty awesome 🙂
-
when did hobbywing start putting their esc's in tamiya boxes with a black coloured heat sink in stead of the purpley pink hobbywing heat sink 1060? before i opened the wild one box i took a spare brand new hobbywing 1060 out its box and linked up all the eletronics i was gonna use, so i was super surprised when i opened the wild one box to see a 1060 with a black heat sink, is that standard for tamiya now? 1060 esc's in the box 🙂
-
making good progress on the wild one 🙂
-
holy crap just seen that price increase, was 26.99 last time i bought one for my normal dx5, im glad i have a spare or 2 kicking about and wouldnt recommend speccy at they prices 😞
-
4000kv will be way too much for it due to the basic gear box and the handling of the lunchie, same gear box as hornet and grasshopper, mine does all kinds of mad stuff on a 25 turn brushed motor on 2s when it hits a few bumps like full on forward flips etc lmao 🙂 might be an idea to grab a spare pinion for it as well, i found them to be very weak around where the grub screw goes in. edit : this is the closest i can find to what dad and i use in our ones and it is a very tight fit with ours, assuming these ones are the same size i would go with that but check size first. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/gens-ace-lipo-car-hard-case-2s-74v-4000mah-60c-bashing-with-t-type-deans-1345629

i fell out of love with a tamiya ta04s recently so ill take the eletronics out of that and mix and match what other ones i have to get ones best suited to it and shove the ta-04s in the attic along with its limited edition box, and i just noticed the price increase for speccy receivers plus my tt01 could do with the wheels from the ta-04s including front and back lights, the wild one is gonna get lights, similar to my grasshopper, loved running the ta04s but not sure where to get a new belt from for its belt driven 4wd, makes sense to whack it in the attic untill it appreciates while its still in good condition, my love is always off roaders and i have a tt-01 to thrash about if i want a on roader with easy to get parts 🙂

https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/bike-grease-tube-red/_/R-p-341620?mc=8751269 thats the grease i use on 10 scale models, they keep changing the packaging (it used to say teflon grease on it) , 0 problems with that and its only 8 scale ones that you have to worry about diff oil 🙂
-
i use push bike grease in all my 10 scale models and havent had a problem yet, i only use diff oil in 8 scales ones 🙂

got 3 thunder tigers in the attic, one is a drifter that was barely used and the other 2 are a xxt and a xxb my first brushless ones, just a pity i cant get spares for them any more and the xxt is part hyper now, i had a load of hyper mini st parts and a lot of time on my hand and bodged it into living again before i chucked it in the attic, also have a ishima rave nitro and that is never getting converted to leccy, it reminds me of my glory days of good nitro fun as it has a less screechy engine and more of a grunty sounding one 🙂
-
gonna suggest a different one that will not dissapoint for 400 think all u would need is some 4s batteries and a charger. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-hyper-vs-1-8-rtr-buggy-150a-esc-red-439894 that is a cracking buggy for the money and parts are cheap plus 8 scale and has loads of power 🙂 notice the terrain and how their been driven plus mine snapped a boulder in half 😛 lmao
-
dad and i had a fair share of hpi cars years ago but after their financial difficuiltys and cheaper cars on the market like hobao hypers etc we kinda stopped buying them as hpi still seem to think they can get away with very high prices in todays market after their comeback 😞 we had brilliant fun with the mt2 trucks and savage and trophy truggy all nitro back in the day, edit : even had a hpi brama b but sold it and the guy some how managed to snap the chassis in half....... 🙂
-
i more or less hoard them or in the case of 2 kyosho dbx nitro buggies i completely stripped apart for screws etc and made use of their chassis to cow boy reinforcements for some of my more loved ones 🙂
