Made a custom modification to the shell of my Kraton by flipping it and scraping it along a hard surface for 15 feet

Worked perfect after the strip down and draining the center diff, no foeign objects getting in the way of the drive train. Genuinely at a loss what caused the lock up

30 dnt, was driving fine after repairs from a big crash. All of a sudden all 4 wheels lock up. Was as though the brakes had come on but they hadn't. The drive shafts from the center diff wouldn't move at all. I figured the center diff must have broke but i've taken it off and it looks fine. Without the diff in everything moves freely, I took the diff off and it also turns ok. Thought i'd take the center diff off and it would be locked up but it wasn't. Got the diff draining i'll take the opportunity to change the oil. Maybe i'm missing something obvious ? I can't think what.

Replaced all parts damaged in a crash, all 6 of them. Was a front on crash yet I bent the rear drive shaft, god knows how. Paint is flaking off which is definitely me not prepping the surface properly but I've got some carbon fibre looking wrap to go on instead.

All 4 parts I needed arrived today. Got my dad duties out of the way and settled in to fit everything and it starts bouncing down with rain

But, isn't it awful to break something as in you feel awful then it's really satisfying to repair it as long as it doesn't cost too much

Thanks, I thought so. Since I posted this i'm now in need of some ha

I bust it

I told my wife I was selling the MTXL and DBXL to fund the purchase of my 30DNT, I have the new car but have zero plans to sell the other ones. It's a harmless lie in my books

Do the parts of the 5t fit ?,

The carb was still set as it was when I stopped using them, funnily enough got both now running after a 2nd change of new plugs.

Neither want to start, apart from changing the plug is there anything else I can try for someone that's not very mechanically minded. The bulb fills ok and the pull start feels normal. I don't get the slightest bit of noise that sounds like it's starting. They're the stock ones in the DBXL and MTXL Cheers

I bought the original km x2 and I couldn't brake it, looked cool too. KM really are decent and value for money. The losi 5 however is the boss, no doubt about it. Tough choice.

Not far from me never knew there was ground there to run.

Awesome job

Eyup lads Lost my go to place for bashing my cars around. Found some new decent ground but there's houses close by so being the nice guy I am petrol and nitro are out. Having not paid much attention to rc news wise for the past year are there any new go to electric bashers about ?. Got the Arrma Typhon that needs some work and the Losi lst xxl2 that's also been bashed to the bones. Also, considering converting a petrol dbxl or mtxl to electric ? Cheers

Kids just aren't getting into the hobby as much with so many other things they can pick from. Drones will take over bashing easily within a few years as prices drop. We all know the satisfaction of fixing an rc and seeing it run again, now if a kid sees something broken they expect to just throw it away.

You know what I haven't been on here much for a few months. Then I log in and yet again and there's something I will buy for a daft price even though I don't need it. Bloody LOSI and my 1/5 obsession,.

A new version already, damn. I pre ordered the last one then canceled it and i've had an xmaxx itch ever since. Can't see i'll bother not with owning an MT XL to be honest.

Well I think you're right and that's new to me, nice one

I've lost a massive amount of my bashing spot to construction of a new factory starting this week, the bit where the best jumps are too.

Orange ? I've not heard that before.

It's still awesome, takes some cleaning though . I have had a failure, the rx has packed in. The double sided tape is weak and its come away and been bounced around. I have now had 3 Spektrum rx's fail in a year. I think i'm at the point now where a full strip down and clean is needed, last run there was steam coming of the dif housings. If I find owt i'll let you know.

I haven't been on here for a while. All I can say is silence is golden. There's loads of owners of this beast out there yet there are very few looking for support or moaning, This is a good sign, people are more vocal when they are ****** off. This RC is a great piece of kit, really in terms of toughness out the box it has upped the game. I'd be more than happy to bring it to any RC meets near (yorkshire) me for you to look at. I've a few vids on my youtube channel 78vintages although there's a guy doing much more than me on then he can be found here https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSkhvpnEDshbvNLKBy7zHpQ/videos
