  4. So recently fitted a switchblade to my 5ive_t and it work's great but can you change the switch allocated to it It's currently on switch A but would like to use switch E I've read the DX4C instructions a few time's but they don't say if you can reallocate the functions

  7. I love the smell of putaline and hot rubber I've not run the DBXL on tarmac before wow big grin factor I am a drift God oh **** where did that 30ft lamppost come from
  8. Watch 22 overpaid men kick a bag of wind about or drifting the dbxl and 5ive_t in a wet car park no contest
  9. Just thinking of a quick tarmac bash in the overflow car park if anyone fancied it
  10. Cheers AJ it just didn't look right but if that's how it's supposed to be
  11. So i baught a dbxl last August and after a few teething problems all was well It's only had 4 or 5 tank's through it and runs really well I've just swapped the steering servo for a savox and to root the lead properly I had to remove the battery and receiver tray 7 of the screws came out no bother but 2 of them were completely rounded there was no bite in them what so ever i cured this by gently tapping an oversized torque bit in Now for the silly question I've noticed that the engine bolts seem to have big bolts in so big that they protude below the chassis and there doesn't seem to be any engine mesh spacers in either The car was baught new old stock (ex display) from a model shop and was in mint condition I presume the engine mesh spacers should be there and again presuming it's standerd spur and pinion which spacers should I use I have a spare set of 19s from my 5ive_t from when I fitted a 20 to it will these fit
  12. So 2 of the 9 screws were completely rounded now this is the first time I've had them out and from the off there was no resistance in the screw head and as I baught it new it must have been like that from losi but they are out now new servo fitted and all is well can't wait to get her out again
  13. Yeah but 2 of them are damaged do I can't get the Allen in I've sacked it off untill after the weekend as I'm away at our caravan I'll have a proper sit down with it one evening this next week
  14. Yeah looks like a straight fit but can't get 2 screws out of battery tray to route servo lead
  15. So decided to take battery tray out figured out which screws hold it in and 2 of them won't come out FML it's raining as well on my 1 weekend off in 3 can someone please tell me again why I'm into RC
  16. Trying to find the Manuel now why are these thing's never where you last saw it
  17. So I'm trying to fit the savox steering servo to the dbxl but I've left my glasses at work and I'm trying to take the top cover off of the switch plate so i can remove the old feed wire and thread the new one if i undo the two small screws will the switch and top plate come off or will the switch just dissappear under the plate I need it sorted tonight so I can take it to work as I'm going away straight from work tomorrow when i finish about 10pm
  18. Savox 0236 from freeprawn are £52 just baught one for the dbxl on nige's advice hope the postie comes beforei go work
  19. the horn comes with a new link arm aswell so good for spares and its a clamping one so better than the ones i was looking at and less money good old nige i trust his advice
  20. Savox SV0236MG (.17/40Kg) Heavy Duty Jumbo Metal Geared Servo 40Kg so finely spoke to nige today this is the servo ive just orderd along with the 5~t standerd servo horn part No 5900 should be here by thursday or friday at the latest
  21. Just tried to get to meet you guys but traffic is horrendous didn't realise it was the race 4 life weekend road in from colton end is closed didn't fancy sitting in the queues through Halton so turned round at brown cow see you another day maybe
  22. Just sent a quick email to nige at Freeprawn asking him for a couple of choices for a replacement don't expect he'll get it before Monday but when he replies I'll post his recommendations on here for you as well
  23. We're not allowed phones at work as I'm writing this I have a pen in one hand work phone trapped between my ear and shoulder and my phone under the desk multitasking to the max
  24. A big crash with several cartwheels did for mine it will only turn right now the steering is free and easy with the horn removed but with no horn on the servo it will only turn right and centre again it doesn't click or strain when you try and move left All trims set of zero and tried rebinding but still no left
