  1. as title, i'm after a carisma gt24tr or monster truck. As long as it works i'm good with condition. Please pm me if you have one, thanks Pete
  2. Your definitely right about looking toy grade. The switch on the underside, the li-ion packs, and the motor guards all in one piece of plastic! i own an outlaw so i quite like ftx and do rate them as a good entry level model but i've got no love for this at all!
  3. that has got to be the nicest job i've seen full stop for an outlaw!! cracking job on the panels looking to do the same to mine eventually!
  4. I've been looking into these for a while now. If its anything like the outlaw then it'll be well worth the money! I don't need one, I don't need one!!!!
  5. ive used ALL different weights of oil in my cars over the years but have found what works best for me and my driving style. I don't just use this truck for crawling. It gets jumped HARD so the higher weight is crucial in my circumstances as I hate bottoming out the suspension on a hard land or an akward one. Drop offs and all sorts so the higher weight compensates. It drives just as I like it and handles a treat for me so I think its a case of each to there own . Pete
  6. I changed the weight to 80wt and that works well for me. I'll try stretching them a bit. Never thought of that. thanks
  7. does anyone know of any direct replacement stiffer springs. Sorry if ive missed it out on this thread but I thought id ask. I'm only after the fronts although if anyone knows of rears too thatd be handy cheers Pete
  8. ttt Price now 35 posted via PayPal with fees covered
  9. that looks awesome. Wish I had your skills and tools. How much you after for the bracket just out of interest?
  10. Brand new in packets. Bought for a couple of projects but no longer needed. Cost me just over £50 a pair thanks to customs!! I'm after 38 posted on here..... link for ebay here..........http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/172843576125?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 I have 2 pairs for sale
  11. Its not a straight forward fit. The shaft on the motor needs 2mm taken off the end and the pinion I used I had to half in size as it was meant for a 600 helicopter. Got the pinion from align-trex shop. I used a clear bag to seal aound the motor first and pierced through the shaft then taped up round the shaft and the seal. This stops any fillings getting into the motor, Not that it probably could but I'm a bit anal about stuff like that! the pinion I offered up to the chassis and marked it out then just got pliers on the end I wasn't going to use and took my time with a dremel and a thin metal cutting disc. Snapped a couple but that's just down to my unsteady hands! heres a link to the pinion I used .... https://www.align-trex.co.uk/17t-hard-one-0-6m-hardened-pinion-gear-5mm-shaft-ho-0600lh-17t.html it looks nothing like the picture and more like this.... https://www.align-trex.co.uk/17t-hard-one-0-7m-hardened-pinion-gear-5mm-shaft-ho-0700h-17t.html and the combo I used is this one.... https://www.modelsport.co.uk/hobbywing-ezrun-combo-max10-sct-3660sl-3200kv-brushless-motor/rc-car-products/420924
  12. Its the 3660 ezrun g2 3200kv hobbywing with 120a ezrun esc
  13. I've finally found my perfect combo!! drives like a dream. Nice and smooth down low with lots of torque and good top end too, not that it gets that much! https://www.flickr.com/photos/149186647@N08/shares/Pg5C6r https://www.flickr.com/photos/149186647@N08/shares/n8401e https://www.flickr.com/photos/149186647@N08/shares/Htfn9Y nice snug fit. Getting the carbon chassis so I can fit the rx in and waterproof it all. Next payday that is!! having the avc is a nice little touch as It helps with rolling when your giving it the beans. Also would really recommend the glitch buster if your running stock gear with a high power servo as I constantly had brown outs but its completely glitch free now. This has got to be my favorite model without a doubt. I just love it goes anywhere and its go to be the most fun on four wheels. I've been looking at yetis but I cannot see how they'd pip this now. I've had some gnarly crashes and its not even flinched. I have to admit I was a bit brand snobbish but this thing has converted me. Yes ive spent money on It but only on electrics. the chassis is sound and the robustness of it is awesome and cannot be knocked. If your thinking of getting one of these there is no weighing it up. Theres nothing out there that's close to this for value for money and fun.
  14. so I thought to myself that the set up I had in it needed a little refreshing. All id read is that the motor I was using wasn't meant for 4wd or larger 4wd monster trucks or such.... I had the max 10 combo 3652 3300kv. It never missed a beat and it ran flawlessly, never got too hot but me over thinking things ordered the max10 sct 120a with 4000kv 3660 motor! all I can say is s**t this thing is uncontrollable even with the avc on! oh and that was with the 23 tooth pinion too! ive now ordered the 3200 3660 g2 motor now so am hoping that it will be more like what it was originally. point of the story........if it aint broke, don't fix it!!! now ive got to find a car tp put the combo in ive taken out!!! its just one thing after another
