Aren't there 2 G40 classes? junior and senior. I know a g40 driver, and he wouldn`t pass for -18 !!
-
I've got a full set. I'm planning to strip them off my slash and sell them. But apart from 2nd hand you can't get them in the UK, or couldn't when I got mine
-
I'll take the 2 dells at 24v
-
I actually thought I did the same as revorocks, but couldn't find my emails confirming that's what I'd done. Only mike explaining why the costs were high.

I emailed rcmonster about their high charges when i ordered my mount. They say they only post with a signature on delivery, bumps the price a lot. They had too many international customers with parcels going missing, costly for a small business no doubt. He was most helpful with value though :-)
-
Nice one keep me in the loop and I`ll pay whoever whenever :-)
-
would it make it any cheaper to add a third one to the order? ive been meaning to order for a while. Shipping jumps $6, reducing your postage by $2 each. so i'll understand if you dont want me :-(

I use this - http://rclazy.com/shop/lazy-things/lazy-goo/ I try and stay out of water anyway, but it gives peace of mind

If you're a basher, it's gotta be worth doing imo. It does add quite a bit of weight to the shell, and isn't that cheap. 1 big tube should be enough, 2 big tubes will do a great job. But compared to smashing a shell on every bash, it's worth it :-) There's a guide on youtube. If you can get a friend to help it makes it a lot easier. He can measure and cut the tape the size, while you smear the goo around with your fingers. Spread a load of goo on, stick the tape on, spread more goo over the top and layer as necessary. This isn't for looks though. The mesh and goo can show through the paint a little, and is bound to get on the outside in places. But looks aren't important to me. Here's a pic of my truggy shell for inspiration :-) It was cracked through from the single rear body post, but the goo has made it stronger than new.

I bought a fibre glass shell for my savage. I thought it was amazing and would offer great protection. But on a very hard landing a body post snapped and the shell crashed into my engine and smashed the hell out of it. Only put a little crack in the shell though. Fibre glass shells are very hard and stiff, with no flex at all. Now I use shoe goo (from ebay) and mesh fibre glass tape. I've used it to repair badly damaged shells to good effect, but using it on a new shell is best. If used well it can make an incredibly strong flexible shell that protects, but doesn't break easily. Infact it makes it very hard to break the shell at all ! You can layer it up as thick as you want, depending on how strong you want the shell to be. It's sticky, but as long as you don't mind getting your hands dirty, it's easy enough to work with. I love it, and wouldn't take a shell out without being goo'd these days.

I got my hobbywing 150a and leopard from this seller on ebay - http://stores.ebay.co.uk/rcmodelnet Great service, he'll reduce the declared value if you ask, so no tax problems. Mine arrived in a week ! Better than wheelspin :-) I'd go for the 4282 2000kv - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-Car-4282-2000Kv-4Poles-Brushless-Motor-LEOPARD-IM152-/250823399127?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a663d56d7 I didn't see it until I'd ordered my 4082 1600kv. Same can size, just no ribs. I have to run 6s to really get the motor flying.

Brand New Pro-Line Desperado 3.8 Traxxas Zero Offset
bogg replied to The Dark Knight's topic in For RC Sales
I`ll take these off your hands for the asking price, -
Problem is getting a Psu for these big chargers. It's either spend hundreds, or make your own and cross your fingers :-)
-
What exactly are you using? Reading your posts it looked like x1 diffs, but 46t spur? x1 is usually 62t isn`t it? 18t pinion, 2200kv & 5s. If thats it, and it is 46t spur, its geared for 80mph with 5.5inch wheels. think that would be why its getting toasty.
-
Shoe Goo and fiberglass tape your new shell, won't happen again :-) well, not after 1 bash anyway.
-
I'm pretty new to rc, but I'm surprised not many people seem to take to the time to reinforce shells. I've done 3 totally covered in fibre glass tape and shoe Goo. Takes ages, Adds cost, adds weight, but adds a hell of a lot more strength to any shell. I'm not talking making the holes a bit stronger, or fixing cracks, I mean at least 1 layer of 100% cover, and then multiple layers to add bracing and strength.
-
Its very easy to control to be honest. doesnt really wheelie at all, just goes, fast. I think pretty thick diff oil helps. i went 15,30,10. Very little ballooning, which suprised me, even with pretty soft squidgy tyres. Best of all it`s been cheap! electrics are massive powerful, and cheap. rollers are for peanuts. Probably cost a 1/4 of my slash and its ace!!!
-
I can do that. What exactly do you want measuring? the hole distance? edit: front mount hole to middle mount hole = 82mm middle mount hole to rear mount hole = 99mm

I've just joined the CRT club X2 with leopard 1600kv & Ezrun 150 on 6s. I love it, so much better than the slash and savage for handling. It corners without rolling! I'm currently on 19/48 which is about 55mph according to speed calc. Motor is getting pretty hot, about 80 degrees, max I can find on esc is about 31, and batteries about 10degrees above ambient. Anyone think I'm geared too low? Or are those sort of temps ok for 6s ?
-
Here's my X2 CRT. Only had it finished a week or so, Loving it so far !! Still needs a few bits, but it's runs great. RC Monster mount and tray, Hobbywing EZrun 150amp. Leopard 4082 1600kv, 6s currently trying 19/48. Shell has been thoroughly fibre glass tape & shoe goo'd. Makes it much more bash ready.

Teng pliers received today. Thanks
-
Teng grip pliers bought and paid for
-
Can you tell me how long the teng grips are please.
-
Technically yes. But even the rule sticklers in America only ever mark the value of the goods, not goods plus postage. Had 2 sets from t bone directly, both over 18 with post, under without, but they declared the without. I've not had a USA seller that has included postage.
