  1. Jet pro, cpi or ddm are the only real options for the blackout, with the ddm being the easiest to get a hold of. Any exhaust that you put on will make it  a lot louder but it really needs it as in stock form the trucks pretty slow.

    keep us posted if you get the kraken cage to work :good:

  2. Not too much if I can help it. I don't drop my mods often(maybe 10 times max in my 3yrs of vaping) but the last two istick 100's I've had have both broke by the 510 connector detaching. The first time I was stood on a bloody bridge and nearly lost my tank in the canal lol so only have my x cube ultra ATM.

    i shall give the alien a look :good:

  3. I've never felt the need to spoof(gps hack) but if the trading feature doesn't happen then I may just have to so I can get the region locked Pokemon.

     I'm currently level 30 with 650k stardust and 130 on the pokedex. I have enough candy to get the last 12 bar geodude who's at 97/125 candy.

    btw what teams you guys on?

    Any recommended sellers for home brew mixing kits? Me and my workmate thought we'd give it a go, the ones I've seen on fleabay don't have that good a choice of flavours with the kits.

    Google the alchemists cupboard . 

  5. Hi and welcome to the forum.

    hypers are great cars and parts are cheap and readily available.

    head over to the nitro section and have a browse, where you'll find a remedy for your 'million miles an hour' issue. As for the glow start I always keep a few glow plugs in the tool box so I can check if it's charged.

    Very nice!.... Look forward to seeing it going all out. Guessing u were very easy on the throttle there? 

     

    Ive been thinking of 1 of these for a long time. Is it a good truck in general platform wise? 

    Yeah I was trying to take it easy on the throttle to stop the motor from moving. Not hit full throttle with it yet but I'm not expecting it to be fast on the current gearing.

    personally I think blackouts are a great truck. I think because Maverick/redcat/himoto are considered 'budget' brands it gets overlooked by many. I find it a doddle to work on and have not broken any parts to date.

    though like all rc's, they're not perfect lol..... Stock servos are junk, out of the box it's a little slow and the bodyshell will crack/break/shatter if you look at it wrong .

    I've also had trouble with losing or snapping dog bone pins on the front petrol powered truck. Probably my own fault though as the diffs must be bone dry as I'm yet to service them.

    Large BL machines do make a lot of mechanical racket! My X2 makes an awful noise, but I still prefer it to two-strokes!

     

    Gonna ramp it? 

    Oh hell yeah I'll be ramping it.

    ive just put some 12.9 m4 X 16 bolts with a dab of the red stuff so hopefully that should keep the motor in place. Yeah the mechanical noise is loud lol. Surprising how much racket the tyres make too with the absence of an engine.

     

  8. Finally got round to using my griffin 25. A noticeable improvement over the 22. Still not used the tfv8 as didn't have a mod capable of handling the pre made beasties so jus bought an X cube ultra.

    where do you take it? send the esc back to bruno

    This was the first run so just took it to Central Park in Syston as its not far from where I live. Bruno emailed me last Monday to say say he'd emailed someone called dimitri to help me but haven't heard anything since.

    Is there a little free movement in the dogbone / driveshaft - looks a little tight in there?

     

    Al.

    Yes there's 1-2mm of play. You're right though it doesn't look it in the pic.

  10. Well 30 seconds after turning it on the bloody motor came loose so nipped back to get my tools and was back up and running. I did blue threadlock the bolts when I installed it but may try a dab of red this time. Other than that it ran pretty well. After owning the petrol version for some time now it felt wired to driving a large scale brushless. But just as fun. After 5-6 mins both motor and esc were around 30 degrees. I do have a sky rc fan shroud but want to get some longer runs in to see what temps are like. Next on the list roll cage and body shell.

     

  11. Well this build has took soooo long I had to get the baby wipes out earlier to wipe the dust off it lol

    but it's nearly done. Originally the esc of choice was an alien 350a but I can't seem to get it to arm. It's definetly connecting to the rx as I can get it in to manual programming mode but can't get it to arm :(

    so that's been shelved and the back up max5 is in and ready to go :good:

    shall be taking it later for its first run.
