'took the ;sand viper out for a test run

 

 

after bringing it back in i rearranged the position of the steering servo and im thinking of gearing it up, it had a 17 turn graupner purple tiger brushed motor in it before and it used to get super hot but the hobbywing max ten 4000kv system on same gears is luke warm, needs more gearing plus the ground was wet so very hard to get the power down 🙂

 

good test run 🙂

 

i also misheard dad asking is it faster as go faster lol

 

edit: i wonder if i should shim the diff gears a bit?  it is a noisy car and has been getting more noisy over time and my dto3 is almost silent compared to it which has the same gearbox.

 

the dt02 sand viper is over 12 year old as are the metal gears in its diff lol

 

 

Ohh She’s a screamer 😁

 

it’s running great 👍

when you getting that 1 dirty then ?

This one’s already been christened mate 😁 the magnet mounts weren’t strong enough so the car went one way and the body another 😂

Finally received the body posts for the Strada so I can take it for a proper test 👍

Looking good BTW I might have some shock springs that are not yellow if you wanted to measure up

Thanks for the offer mate👍 I don’t think I’d swap them out tbh, they’re dual rate and work really well with the shocks, Cross RC set this rig up great imo 

[Cross-RC AT4 - FR4 etc Owner’s]

I haven’t done anything with the FR4 for while, thought I’d change the wheels over for a spare set in hope it’ll give me the enthusiasm to take it for a run out tomorrow .

Goes well and performed really well on the woodland track and gravel, but shell needs replacing at some point with  a nice scooby or similar 

Fancy buying me one for Xmas 😁

 

As far as I know there’s two bodies that fit, the Traxxas Fiesta and a Toyota Celica GT4

Was it quick on 3s?  

I’m gunna say 35mph-ish 👍 a little too quick for where I was running today but fun.

How did the tyres get on with the wet grass? Or does the diameter (4 inch?) get you out of trouble ? 

 

Average mate! You could still get about ok  but it was  slide ahoy in the corners.

looks like you had fun with it 

what tweaks need doing ?

Just me been picky really mate but i reckon with some geometry changes and a bit of diff oil it’ll be even better .

First run with the Quantum RX went great! Needs a couple of tweaks but overall  I’m really pleased with it👍
Ran two 3s packs back to back without a problem.

Need to do some cleaning now 😁

I maybe need to start looking into 3D printing I’d love to try something like this.
