If the mounts are the same as the kyosho I run the proline flo-tek body on mine but I reinforced it with gaffa tape around the mounts and usual damage areas mate

Is there a good supplier of parts for the sc6 Charles?, I find most of my spares for the sc r have to come across from yanky land......and I get spanked on taxes every time :-( The big bore velvet shocks are superb you won't be dissapointed

Nice!. I race it's predecessor,the scr and love it but the rear motor configuration is a handicap on astro. Have been pondering over one of these but can't justify the cost

Got an x1 crt sitting in my garage that I bought to repair,the previous owner butchered the chassis around the engine mount area but the rest seems ok and it has the later threaded big bore shocks fitted. Can email pics if it's of interest Steve

I'll have that matey,pm coming your way

I've got loads of bits,2 incomplete rollers,engine shell some electrics,couple of sets of wheels etc,was going to build one good one but ain't got the time. Pm me your email addy and I'll send pics if they're of interest Steve

If you want to sell them,I'll take them off your hands.pm me payment details

Mark I converted my old scrt10 to run 3s,apart from it been ultra quick it turned a reasonable handling truck into a bag of wheelying scrap that used to shed tyres off the rim frequently!. Never had a tyre rip apart like that though

I've had repeated breakages e.g rear hubs,hinge pin mountings from what I'd class as minor crashes on the kyosho so done the same as you and upgraded to alloy mounts/hubs etc and that's on a far more expensive kit than the turnigy. Although I really like the kyosho I wouldn't class it as bombproof

I agree John but other folks idea of fragile or bombproof vary greatly

No John,there was around 14 booked in before me,think it's a randomiser! Lol

I'd like to try the turnigy sct to see how it compares to my kyosho ultima see if there's much difference. Parts would be a lot cheaper!

I'm in :-)

Are you after Losi eight parts or mini 8ight parts as your title states mini 8 but your post says 8ight parts? If it's mini 8ight parts I may have some parts you want,let me know what your looking for Steve

Cheers John,i think the 5200kv motor i have works out around 7/8 turn mark Steve

Cheers John,what motor/s do you run in the kyosho? Steve

I run a hobbywing 35a esc in my carisma gtb micro and know thats good kit and already have the program card to suit so it would be ideal but i'm open to others views

thats how i run mine but the adjustment from tight to loose is quite fine mate

thhey;d give you 80 amp constant and 120 amp burst current so yes your turnigy ones would pack more punch

Cheers Tug,i was just looking at the sc8 and was going to ask if it would be a better option

Hi folks managed to kill my turnigy 80a esc today at a race meet so been having a quick look at replacements. Found a hobbywing 80a waterproof esc that seems to tick the boxes http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hobbywing-EZrun-Brushless-Sensorless-Waterproof-80A-ESC-EZWP80A-/251357852751?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3a8618744f Its going in my kyosho 2wd sct and i'll be running the following 540 can motors 3300kv 4250kv & 5200kv dependant on the track but i'm a bit worried about the upper motor limits stated in the add as i think its not capable of running the 5200 motor(although my turnigy esc came as a combo with this motor) Any advice on this esc or an alternative thankfully received Cheers Steve

Those batteries should give 50amp constant supply and probably around 70 amp burst, what were the ratings of the turnigy lipo's you had? Actual weight of the battery means nothing mate

No worries fella

Sounds like the slipper is too loose,the slipper should only operate for the first few feet from a full throttle standing start. The txt+rx may be bound correctly but that has nothing to do with esc calibration, calibrating the esc allows it to store full throttle and brake end points and the neutral position,instructions on how to should have come with your combo
