Usually on boats the esc and motor are water cooled

It is a very pretty thing, would be a shame to get it dirty, would make an awesome ornament

The generators that we use give out a constant 50a of power at 14. something volts and are totally fine

The rubber gasket they use were the wires come out is quite thick so it was a tight fit to get it in the corally servo box 😅. I did say bad words to it a few times until it went in, the heater in the garage was playing up so I was cold and mad at a servo 😆.
I have had mine completely submerged in a trx4 crawler and its still going strong and for the price i dont think you can go wrong

That was exactly what i was thinking about, at work we use that same lead to power generators when doing software updates on cars

If he cannot find it could you make your own, even if you cannot find the same sort of connector for the rear port, change the port on the back as well?

I have this charger and use it to charge 4x 4s 10000mah packs at a time, probably takes less than 2 hours to charge to full from LVC cutting out https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/skyrc-t400q-ac-dc-charger-1346891

I run a flysky gt3c radio system and it works well there are other budget ones that also work well, its a personal choice. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/absima-4-channel-radio-cr4s-v2-including-receiver-1350827 As far as a servo anything metal geared 20kg or above at 6v would suit your needs https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/power-hd-lf20-metal-geared-servo-red-388829 for an esc it depends if you simply want to keep using the stock motor or go for something with slightly more power, for your stock motor an esc like this would be ideal https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/tamiya-hobbywing-1060-rtr-60a-brushed-esc-wp-1348298
these are just suggestions at the end of the day its up to you how much you want to spend, i have picked some budget options for you

That thing will have a mechanical speed controller that wont be sitting in the right place so as it sits in the middle and thats why the wheels are turning, personally i would replace it with a esc, a 2.4ghz radio system and a better steering servo, take the drive wheels (for safety) and that black plastic cover off and then look at the orange board thing move when you move the control and it will make sense to you

I was looking at a gens ace imars d300 as a replacement, for £70 from aliexpress it seems like a good option but i am in no hurry as i have another charger that i can use too

I have c240 duo 1 of these and i seen a post somewhere tail end of last year talking about amazon doing a recall on them as they can catch fire (but not in the uk) so have been wary of them but have just seen another post today where the touchscreen version has caught fire and its making me wonder if i should just bin it and replace with something else, i realise the charger to replace is a lot cheaper than having a fire. I have had mine for a couple of years now and i cannot fault it but still there is that fear there, anyone else using the same brand, anyone have some input on this?

Put some savage xl wheels on the maxx to run it in the snow, was keeping a close eye on the temps as they are really too big but the added ground clearance def helped

I can tell you for replacing bushings take them out and measure them so say for example say is 17x26x5 for the bushing this is broken down as internal diamater x external diameter x width in this order and put that into ebay or wherever and this will give you the size of bearings, the other number you may get may be 2rs for example after the numbers this signifies that it has 2 rubber shields on it which would be my recommendation for an rc vehicle, there is other types of shieldings available but it is the 2rs you want. Hope that makes sense

Bargain that is going have a look for one today, if it survives few runs out I'll get another one for the spares bag for that price be rude not to 😀
I have only ever killed 1 of these 80kg servos but it was my fault for using an alloy servo saver, the thing was seized and locked up solid, its always alloy servo saver/bellcranks that seem to kill servos, i have tried using 3 in different models and everytime i use 1 i kill a servo, (which were a power hd and a savox both with metal gears) i just stick to plastic savers now and have never had a problem

Hows the servo saver is it keeping up with that powerful servo ?
Been after a new servo I'll have a look into them, a good servo is worth it's weight in gold 🙂.
Saver seems ok, certainly moves the wheels good, i also use this same servo on the xmaxx with magma tyres and it turns them no bother either on 8.4v. I think for sub £40 delivered from aliexpress for this servo is a no brainer.
I have just ordered the ak70 70kg servo to try out, i thought for £30 why not
-
With the big wheels on this the stock servo really struggled to turn the wheels, so upgrade time and fitted my favourite 80kg servo that i had in a drawer, since the tuning card arrived i also changed the bec up to 7.4 v (these flysky receivers are only rated up to 6.5) and it didnt release the magic smoke so at least that's encouraging, holy skoes it turns well fast now, i should really have taken a video

I would like to build something but of yet i haven't found what i want, ideally i would like some sort of off road 8x8 truck that doesnt cost thousands, did look last year but gave up as i couldnt find what i wanted
-
I think the issue with the stock wheels is the voids behind the hex (which you can see in the pic, i did wonder about these when new but that naaa be alright) which allow the hex to deform too easily, if i get replacements i am going to fill these with epoxy resin

You would think it would, this is what i meant by the watercooled esc https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/hobbywing-seaking-v3-30a-speed-control-264648/
