Shokka

Ive neglected my baby recently, mainly due to taking the rx and tx and putting them with my kids new birthday present (traxxas pede) so i'm left with a motionless car. I was thinking of getting one of the flysky combo's but not 100% which as i've heard mixed reviews on them. But it needs to be on a budget really.

In which case, might I suggest a video with some PJ & Duncan? or perhaps my personal favourite Survivor - Eye of the tiger. Perfect bashing montage music

And that was with my 4000kv motor so yours should be great on 3s and 2s

25/26 pinion and stock 87 spur is nice and nippy on 2s and I've used it on 3s without any real heat issues.

Cant please everyone i suppose lol. Except the content, any bashing is always good!!

another cool vid. I really like the SC style trucksm think i may have to convert my firestorm into a blitz

that looks a great place to bash. cool vid, but i agree with the above, get rid of the eurovision soundtrack. Stick with the them of the video ..... rock! XD .... sorry lol

its like you read my mind on what i needed next to supplement my boys birthday pressie. just got him a traxxas bigfoot / pede, need a couple of these. i'll take one of the 4200's please mate.

I'll double check measurements tomorrow and get back to you. Thanks buddy.

Silly question I'm sure but for wheelbase is that like, the central point of the wheel arch or what? Cheers mate. It sounds pretty close to fitting you see depending on where the wheelbase measurement is from and to

Could you give me the dimensions for the dodge ram shell please mate? Width and wheelbase... Thanks pal.

Good call for the axle hexes. They look a good shout. Like you said just flatten the axle where you need the grub to bite. Very interested to see how this goes

Cheers guys. Just check them out and I may just got for one of them tbh. Might put them in my storm and stick the hpi ones in the boys new pede.

ZIP TIES!! they hold people AND esc's just great.

I use double sided 5mm padded tape. Never had an issue. Maybe it's a curse? You could try some hot glue? Super strong Velcro? A combination of everything?

I had that issue with mine however I was running stock brushed 15t motor and HPI esc.... I had the issue though using the stock NiMH battery as it just couldn't provide the power when it needed it. Using 2s I've never had that issue. Possibly the esc could have a high / dodgy LVC level? P.s. awesome name for it lol

Cool. Certainly looks right, I may just give that a go, for the price it's not like a real kick in the crotch if it doesn't work.

I'm looking to see if anyone has just the receiver from the set that usually comes as with the RTR set. Just the receiver, see pic. (I have the tx coming with a truck I just bought so just need this to get going. Otherwise I'll buy a simple set as everywhere I've looked this rx on it's own is going for £25-30) Thanks.

Great. Thanks for the advice. I may grab a few to have as spares just in case.

So quality wise the traxxas ones have a better hold and are a little more robust? My stock ones will hold, but at the slightest landing it doesn't like or too sharp a turn with power it decides no, im off out! and the shaft comes out the end.

I was gonna say i'd probably go with the rcbitz ones. but good to know there are a good couple of alternatives. cheers let us know what you go with and how they hold

I have the same issue. Recently ordered some of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/?iid=272528067734&&&adgroupid=40680863174&rlsatarget=pla-301351234235&abcId=1088866&adtype=pla&merchantid=101458285&poi=&googleloc=9045255&device=c&campaignid=805981323&crdt=0&chn=ps Those taxxas ones look about the same, if not a little shorter. At that price you could probably just get them and see. Only pennies really, relatively speaking. And if they're good then you will have just saved everyone here some pennies too lol

It's almost a shame sometimes to bash holy hell out of them after making them look so pretty and clean lol.

How did you find the gyro?? Did you notice a significant improvement in handling? The slow mo near tea bagging was priceless lol

I was gonna say going by the normal way of doing it it'd be 0.18 amps. If you can't get that setting (no experience with other chargers) id say evssv is spot on with 0.2
