Since i replaced the rear bulkhead no I haven’t, i wouldnt have thought that was the cause of all my diff problems as there wasnt any play once they were built up but there must have been something as its good now, probably run 12-15 sets of batteries through it now since and so far so good 🙂 I did also change the rear diff covers to alloy ones like the newest xmaxx so something must have been flexing on full power

What about putting solder inside the blue pipe, it would be very easy to bend and would stay how you left it

Always though the original wheely bar was too springy, so thought i would give something else a go, seen this on aliexpess and thought i would give it a go since i am running an aftermarket anti roll bar it wouldnt fit with this wheely bar so had to do a little mod by drilling 2 new holes in it to attach it too

You either have it too rich or lean turn the hsn 1/4 in 1 direction and try if it wont start or its worse go back to the original setting then turn it 1/4 turn in the opposite way you turned it the first time failing that try a new glow plug and start again. Once you get it running its just a case of adjusting the needles a little bit at a time till it runs right, there is many many videos on you tube describing this

Do you guys really think its that dumb an idea to even attempt, i just dont like wasting stuff

So i have 2 faulty lipo batteries, both have 1 duff cell, was contemplating making 1 good battery out of the 2, is there anything in particular i need to watch out for, i will discharge the batteries to the lowest my charger will take them too before i start this endeavour? These are 10000mah batteries and i run 2 at a time was thinking of buying a new 10400 battery to use as the pair for it. When the batteries died it was really cold outside with snow on the ground, they were in my workshop up to then so were stone cold before i started using them and the lipo cutoff was at the lowest setting on the esc, i do think all these factors played a part in the batteries becoming faulty, now i take them inside the night before i am going to use them so they are at room temperature and has set the esc to the medium cut off and havent had an issue since

Wow what a difference! I suppose it would use less battery on 2wd, does it change the turning circle?

Hows the front wheel drive mode?

Is the blackout xb not a 1/5 scale model

I wonder if you could add some turnbuckles to brace between the front and the main chassis to beef that up a bit

An issue i kept on having was the sliding motor mount kept moving closer to the spur and kept destroying gears no matter how tight i put the screws, eventually i did sort the issue with an extra grub screw

Interesting, kev talbot will need to get on the case me thinks

I have a quantum flux and that was an observation of mine too, there is a limited amount of upgrades for them, 1 i did too but was a waste of time was the alloy diff cases, they just didnt last

Thank you, yea initially being white put me off but after searching online i came across a company that did stickers for it so thought i would give them/it a go

Yea there is about 20 sets to choose from, i was torn between these and the dragon fire ones, i got them from awesome stickers

Will be interesting to see how it fairs thats for sure

I always fancied 1 of these https://www.rcmodelz.co.uk/rc-cars/1-5th-scale-petrol-rc-cars/rovan-xlt-45cc-monster-truck-blue.html

I dont understand why you would have 2wd with this, it must be a by product of the dig system thinking about it and they have called it a feature?

Today i got all the plastic parts swapped over, got the rear protection bit on too, but had to cut bits off it so it would fit, so heres hoping this body lasts a bit longer!

New compressor for my workshop, old 1 died on sunday, this 1 is a direct drive so doesnt have the noisy piston so just the hum of a motor, much quieter!

After the standard body getting wrecked fairly quickly and the cost of them thought i would try a different body, so got this proline brute and a sticker kit, there was a touch of worry with the body as it was supposed to arrive friday but come sunday and it not arriving i called dpd and they proclaimed its lost, but it turned up today thankfully. Phew! On the website for the stickers it does say that there is supposed to be gaps between the stickers and the over all result i am very happy with, tomorrow i will get all the plastic structure swapped over.

Yea i love this kind of terrain, love watching the axles adapting to keep ground contact

Found a cool new place to take the land rover, here is a video

I didnt think the max 6 could handle that motor, maybe its the newer g2, edit its not the g2 as it has 2 buttons
